Acceptance of Terms
Use of our website, your request for a consultation or use of any of our other legal services indicates that you have read, understand and agree to the Terms of Service and/or the Privacy Policy, and any other guidelines or rules posted on any pages of our Services. If you do not agree to these Terms or this Privacy Policy, please do not use our Services.
Scope of Services
Yilmaz Law Office offers legal counsel and representation in areas such as personal injury law, family law, criminal defense, and business law. We also offer legal articles and resources for our clients’ education. Legal services are customized based on client needs and delivered in compliance with applicable laws and regulations at the local, state, and federal levels. Legal advice is rendered only upon proper engagement; material posted on our website is general in nature and is not intended to offer or provide legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.
Attorney-Client Relationship
An attorney-client relationship with Yilmaz Law Office is only created after (1) an in-office initial consultation, (2) mutual agreement for us to represent you, and (3) a representative of Yilmaz Law Office executes a retainer agreement or engagement letter expressly setting forth the scope and terms under which we will represent you. Your submission of information to us via our website does not create such a relationship. Yilmaz Law Office reserves the right to refuse any representation for any reason including, but not limited to, conflict of interest or limited resources.
Client Responsibilities
The client must provide accurate, complete and timely information related to the legal matter. It is necessary that you fully cooperate with us and we can rely upon you to respond to our requests for documentation or clarifying information. Failure to do so may affect the outcome of the matter and may result in termination of representation.
Fees and Payment Terms
Yılmaz Law Office provides customized services; fee structure and payment plans are negotiated on a per case basis based upon the type and degree of work to be performed. Fee arrangements, including retainer requirements and schedule of payments, will be outlined in your engagement letter. In the absence of special terms, payment will be due upon receipt of billings. For certain matters (e.g., personal injury), fee arrangements may be on a contingency basis. It will be your responsibility to reimburse us for all costs and expenses incurred in your behalf, including court filing fees, expert witness cost, travel costs, etc. Failure to meet payment obligations may result in suspension or termination of all law office work on your behalf.
Confidentiality and Protection of Privacy
We are dedicated to protecting all client information and communications. All confidential client information will not be disclosed to anyone outside of the firm unless otherwise required by law, court order or consent from the client. Please review our Privacy Policy with respect to how we obtain, use and safeguard your personal information.
Conflict of Interest
Yılmaz Law Office performs a conflicts check before accepting representation. If a potential conflict arises in the course of representation, YLM will immediately inform you and take other appropriate actions to address the situation, including withdrawal from representation if it becomes necessary. YLM strives to maintain high professional standards with regard to conflicts of interest.
Communications
We most often communicate with clients by telephone, e-mail or in-person meetings during business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). By providing your contact information, you agree to receive communications from us including our updates, notices and bills. We try to ensure the security of your communications with us that are delivered by electronic means, but cannot guarantee the security of e-mail or other transmissions even after they have been received by us.
