Terms & Conditions

Scope of Legal Services

Valerie Willis Law Firm & Associates (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides legal services in accordance with the scope defined in each client’s engagement agreement. Representation is limited to the matters explicitly agreed upon in writing. No attorney-client relationship is formed until a signed engagement agreement and retainer are received.

Clients are responsible for reviewing documents, responding to communications, and attending scheduled meetings or court appearances. Failure to cooperate may impact the outcome of the case and may result in termination of representation.

Fees and Billing

Legal fees are billed in accordance with the engagement agreement. The Firm may charge hourly rates, flat fees, or contingency fees depending on the nature of the case.

Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise specified.
