Terms and Conditions

The Terms and Conditions of use (“The Agreement”) are provided by MaryAnn Jones, Attorney at Law PLLC (“Attorney”), a web-based Texas law practice managed by Attorney.  By using this website, and/or engaging with MaryAnn through Attorney’s web-based law office application, you agree without modification to these Terms and Conditions and acknowledge reading them. Using this website or contacting MaryAnn Jones by phone, email or other electronic communications constitutes your agreement to comply with these terms and conditions. Attorney reserves the right to revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this posting.

Establishing an Attorney-Client Relationship

Transmission of information from contact forms on this website and/or any communication with Attorney via Internet or e-mail through this site does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only after Attorney has expressly communicated the ability to represent you and after an engagement agreement has been executed.

Nature of Unbundled Legal Services

Attorney provides unbundled legal services.  This means that the legal services provided by this firm only extend to those services expressly agreed upon in an engagement agreement that outlines the scope of legal services to be performed and the fee you will be charged. For example, if we agree to assist you in creating estate administration documents, it is not our responsibility to ensure that the documents are properly filed or to provide any other legal services related to that matter beyond the original purchased and provided limited legal services.

By purchasing our services, you agree that it remains your responsibility to proceed as a pro-se litigant by filing all legal documents and complying with Texas state and local procedures.  By providing you with limited legal services, Attorney has not agreed to attend a hearing or trial on your behalf or provide any legal service extending beyond those services which you have purchased and she has agreed to provide.  After performing the services purchased by you, Attorney has no further obligation to you.

Scope of Services

The scope of legal services which Attorney will perform for you will be expressly agreed upon in writing by you before any legal services are performed, and will not include any services that have been expressly excluded or are otherwise outside the scope of the written agreement.

If services outside the scope of the written agreement are required, the client may request a quote for additional legal work. Client is responsible for any court costs associated with your case which may be required as part of a lawsuit, filing fees or service of process fees.

No Guarantee of Outcome or Result

As with any legal service, we cannot guarantee any legal outcome. No website or other materials published on this website should be construed as a guarantee of any particular outcome or result.

Disclosures

The Texas State Bar requires that attorneys provide the following information:

The State Bar of Texas investigates and prosecutes misconduct committed by Texas attorneys.  Although not every complaint or dispute with a lawyer involves professional misconduct, the State Bar Office of the General Counsel will provide you with information about how to file a complaint.  For more information, please call 1-800-932-1900.
