SERVICE(S) TO BE PROVIDED: Firm will provide Client with legal advice and Divorce Document Preparation for an Uncontested True Default Divorce/Legal Separation Case. Our Firm’s flat fee for legal services are detailed below: Here are the total Flat Legal Fees for an uncontested true default divorce from Step 1 through Step 5 at $695 - $995 flat legal fees as follows: Step 1 - pay $95.00 Flat Legal Fee – Online Attorney Interview; Step 2 - Free – Attorney review of Online Attorney Interview; Step 3 - pay $200.00 Flat Legal fee – Divorce or Legal Separation Petition Forms; Step 4 - pay $200 Flat Legal Fee – Financial Disclosure Forms; Step 5 - pay $200.00 Flat Legal Fee IF No children, or assets, or debts or pay $500 – Judgment All costs, including, All Court filing costs, courier costs & All Process Server costs which may total at least $800 or more, are NOT included in our flat legal fees as detailed in this Agreement. A True Default Uncontested Divorce is where the spouse/partner does not file a response or appear at court and no Marital Settlement Agreement is required for the divorce judgment. Here are other services included: Phone Consultation with Attorney to discuss your Rights; Attorney prepares your uncontested true default divorce or separation documents; Petition divorce or separation documents to start your case. Phone Consultation with Attorney to Review documents; You Sign all Documents online with cloud technology; Attorney prints and arranges divorce or separation petition documents for filing; Attorney arranges Service of Process for divorce or separation petition documents. ALL costs are NOT included in our Flat Legal Fee services. ALL FEES ARE FULLY EARNED UPON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT & NOT REFUNDED. All revisions made to the online interview are FREE. But after any one of the initial Step 3 Petition documents, Step 4 Financial documents, or Step 5 True Default Judgment documents are printed, and/or, emailed to, and/or, signed by Client and/or filed in court, then any/all revisions to any documents are at an additional fee of $195.00 per batch per revision. This agreement is not a commitment to handle other legal work. Anything beyond providing and completing the above services, is considered other legal work. Firm shall have no responsibility, and Client shall take full responsibility, for any other matter. We have not agreed to go to a hearing or trial with you, or agreed to prepare your case for trial or agreed to provide any legal help or assistance beyond providing and completing these services. Client understands that there may be other issues and considerations which are very important to their case, but which Client does not want Firm to handle. As Firm has explained to Client, this Agreement is different from the usual Retainer Agreement. Unlike a Retainer Agreement, this Agreement is for unbundled legal services for uncontested true default judgment divorces, meaning, limited legal services for preparing legal documents only, rather than for the complete array of services that lawyers often provide to their clients such as in pre-litigation and litigation. Also, the total flat fee will be less than Firm’s normal full-service attorney’s fee, because the scope of the legal services is limited in that Client will be listed as “Self-Represented” or in “Pro Per” on all documents prepared by Firm. Firm will not be listed on any documents as the attorney of record for Client. This Firm is providing services for Client only and not client’s spouse or anyone other than Client. This Agreement is designed for clients who see the benefits of our Agreement, and who are better able to budget for our legal services, and who are self-motivated. Client is advised that it is Client’s responsibility to notify Firm If there has been an assignment or application for assignment of child support right to the Department of Child Support Services, and/or whether or not there is receipt of TANF/CalWorks benefits, and a lawyer from DCSS will need to sign off on your step 3 judgment documents later on in your case. Furthermore, Client is advised to notify your DCSS caseworker that you will/have filed for divorce and to keep your DCSS caseworker updated. Their response will be based on where they are at this time in the pursuit of a child support case against your spouse and then of course just follow the instructions of DCSS to have the step 3 judgment documents approved by DCSS. Firm is not responsible for any loss, injury, claim or damage caused by Client’s errors or omissions of or failure or refusal to disclose or decision to not disclose any/all relevant or material information to Firm, in any/all court documents and/or to any Court. The choice of whether or not to disclose DCSS or other governmental actions is the sole responsibility of Client and/or to list property and debt and have it CONFIRMED by the court as your separate property or community property AWARDED by the court to CLIENT, is the sole responsibility of Client and is a CRITICAL decision only the CLIENT can make. Our legal fees are subject to change, increase in legal fees for each Step, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 at any time without notice. IV. ALL LEGAL FEES ARE FULLY EARNED UPON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT- NO REFUNDS Firm will charge, and Client agrees to pay a flat fee, paid in full, as provided in Section III above. This Agreement is not a commitment to handle other legal work. Anything not specifically stated as an agreed upon service is considered other legal work. The Flat Fee or partial payment is fully earned UPON RECEIPT and becomes the property of Firm. It will be deposited in Firm’s business operating account, rather than the Firm’s trust account, and Client hereby specifically agrees that Firm may do so. Client understands that services performed or costs expended in reliance on my online and/or facsimile/telephone payment are an accommodation for Client, and Client accordingly: (a) waives any requirement that FIRM swipe or take or make a physical imprint of Client’s card; (b) agrees that the absence of any imprint shall not be a basis for a chargeback request. Client authorizes advance payment of fees using the referenced credit card for all services rendered by or through Firm. I further authorize reimbursement of costs associated with performance of the requested services. Client agrees that Firm may charge additional sums for additional services or costs Firm incurs per the Terms of service & Agreement provisions herein between Firm and Client. We accept cash, money orders, checks, debit cards and credit cards for full payment. V. NO GUARANTEE / NO Professional Liability Insurance Firm makes no promises or guarantees about the outcome of Client’s matter. Client acknowledges that Firm has made no guarantees as to the outcome of Client’s legal matter. Pursuant to California Rule of Professional Conduct 3-410, Firm is informing you in writing that Firm does not have professional liability insurance. VI. ALL COSTS – NO REFUNDS Client shall pay all out-of-pocket costs, including court costs, filing fees, payment of fees for service of process, process server fees, courier fees, long distance telephone calls, excessive postage, notary fees, mileage (at the rate authorized by law for business miles), and other necessary court and office costs. Firm is not obligated to advance any out-of-pocket costs. These costs are NOT included in our flat legal fee services and are in addition to Firm’s flat legal fees. VII. CLIENT COOPERATION AND TERMINATION Client at all times will cooperate with Firm so that Firm may provide all services as efficiently and quickly as possible by completing Firm’s Questionnaire. Client at all times must provide Firm with accurate and complete information, including, but not limited to, issues regarding: Custody Dispute, Visitation dispute, Set or modify child support, Set or modify spousal support, Collect past due child support, Collect past due spousal support, Real property valuation and division of Personal property, division of Business interests, Bank accounts, Investments, Pension rights, Stocks and bonds Stock Options, income, expenses, assets and liabilities, if any.

Either party may terminate this agreement upon reasonable notice, being 48 hours, via email or text message, to the other party, and upon full payment to Firm of all fees billed at $200 per hour and costs incurred to date. VIII. SEVERABILITY The provisions in this Flat Fee Retainer Agreement are severable i.e., if any provision or provisions are found to be void or unenforceable the remaining provisions still apply.
