SKYLAW SRQ
Terms & Conditions
for Use of Our Services
By accessing SkylawSRQ, using any legal services or features provided through our website, or booking an appointment with one of our participating attorneys, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before scheduling a consultation.
Terms and Conditions
Before an attorney appointment can be confirmed, a client must acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”).
- I am an adult, age 18 or older.
- My legal problem is not a criminal matter.
- I confirm I do not currently have an attorney representing me on the matter for which I seek advice.
- I consent to an attorney contacting me after I reserve an appointment.
- I agree that the advice offered is limited and I do not expect my relationship with the lawyer to continue after the consultation ends unless formal arrangements are made for additional legal services. I accept the limited scope of representation offered by SkylawSRQ participating attorneys.
- Unless communication is initiated by the attorney before the conference, I will not contact my assigned lawyer prior to the conference.
- Attorneys are not expected or required to respond to communications or correspondence before or after the conference ends.
- I understand that appointments made on this website will be reserved and then confirmed once payment is received by the attorney. Payments are processed and accepted payment methods are determined by the participating attorney’s office. Some offices may require credit card or electronic payment. Full payment must be made before the meeting begins.
- The fee is non-refundable by the attorney unless I cancel at least 48 hours before the scheduled conference.
- I have an email address, access to reliable internet, and a computer or device that allows two-way video conferencing (webcam and microphone) that will allow me to attend the conference successfully.
- I understand reasonable efforts have been made to keep the consultation secure so that communications between me and the lawyer remain confidential. No warranties or guarantees are made that a security breach can never occur, and I understand that SkylawSRQ, the Library Board, its agents, contractors, and employees shall not be liable should such an event occur.
- Without the written consent of the attorney, I will not record, publicize, or distribute the video interview online or otherwise, nor allow others to do so. I understand the attorney is the only person who may authorize the video or audio recording of the conference.
- Communications between me and the attorney are privileged. However, if persons other than myself participate or are present during the video conference, I understand this may waive confidentiality making the subject of the consultation available by others, including any adverse parties. I acknowledge in most cases, I should be the only person present or communicating with the attorney, with the exception of your translator should one be necessary.
- Because this program offers only short-term limited legal services, the lawyer will not make calls, write letters, file papers, go to meetings or to court, unless formal arrangements are made later in writing.
- I understand it is my responsibility to provide a translator if one is needed. They should be scheduled in advance and arrive early for the conference. A translator may be a bi-lingual family member, a friend, or a professional paid by the participant. If a translator is needed and does not appear, the meeting will be cancelled and the attorney is not required to reschedule or refund payment.
- My questions involve Florida law, and I agree the attorney cannot give advice regarding other state’s laws.
- My conference will end after the agreed upon meeting length of time has passed, which begins as soon as both parties are present.
- I understand that the attorney cannot make any guarantee or promise that their involvement in the case will cause a certain outcome or result.
- There are no prohibitions on your engaging the attorney for additional legal services should you decide they are necessary.
