Terms of Service
What this website is, what it is not, and what an engagement with the firm actually commits each side to.
These terms govern your use of librelitigation.com and the client portal. They do not replace an engagement letter, and reading this page does not make the firm your attorney.
Effective October 27, 2026
The Short Version
Questions about these terms? Write to the firm before you rely on anything on this site.
1 · Acceptance
These terms are an agreement between you and Libre Litigation Inc. about this website. The privacy policy explains data handling; this page explains the rules of use.
By visiting librelitigation.com, submitting a form, calling a firm line, or signing into the client portal, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
If you are using the site on behalf of someone else, such as an incarcerated family member, you confirm you have authority to share the information you provide and to receive responses about it.
If you are already a client, your engagement letter controls where it conflicts with these terms. Where it is silent, these terms apply.
2 · No Attorney-Client Relationship
Reading this website, using the contact form, booking a free consultation, or calling the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship begins only when both sides sign a written engagement letter.
Until then, information you send is not privileged as a client communication. We treat it as confidential business intake, but it does not carry the protection that attaches once an engagement exists.
We may decline a matter after reviewing it, including where a conflict exists, where a deadline has already passed, or where the case falls outside the work we do. If we decline, we will tell you promptly so you can look elsewhere.
Nothing on this site is legal advice for your specific situation. The general information here is not a substitute for a lawyer reading your record.
What Each Step Means
3 · Engagement & Scope
Only a signed engagement letter does. It identifies the matter, the courts involved, the fee, and what is and is not included. Until then, we are not your lawyers and you are not our client.
The letter controls scope. Work outside it, a new trial, a separate post-conviction motion, or representation in another state requires a new or amended agreement.
Appellate deadlines are short and unforgiving. Sending us a message does not pause a deadline, and we cannot preserve a right you have already lost.
The firm may associate other counsel, retain an expert, or use a contracted researcher where a matter calls for it. Any cost that is not included in the flat fee is identified in the engagement letter before it is incurred.
4 · Fees & Payment
Fees are quoted in the engagement letter. Ranges shown elsewhere on this site are indicative only and are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Flat fees
Quoted per stage of work, invoiced as the letter provides. The fee does not change because the court takes longer than expected.
Costs
Filing fees, transcripts, and record production are separate unless the letter says otherwise.
Payments
Made through LawPay, by installment where the letter allows, or by the methods listed on the fees page. Card details never reach firm systems.
Past due
An account more than 30 days past due may pause work after written notice, except where a court deadline requires otherwise.
Refunds
Any refund is governed by the engagement letter and by the rules on unearned fees. Ask the firm directly; this page does not create a refund right.
5 · Your Responsibilities
An appeal is a shared effort. These duties are the ones that most often decide whether a good issue survives.
6 · Communications & AI
Calls and texts to the firm lines may be answered by SeeB AI, an answering service that collects a name, number, and message and routes it to staff. It gives no legal advice and does not discuss strategy. Email and the client portal remain the channels for substantive case communication.
Attorney-directed AI tools, including Claude and MyCase features, may assist research, summarizing, and drafting. Every filing is reviewed and signed by the attorney. You may opt out of AI assistance at any time, free of charge, as described on the AI Disclosure page.
Sending a text, email, or portal message does not create a deadline or preserve a right. If a court date is imminent, call a state office directly rather than relying on a message.
We may send appointment reminders and firm updates. You can ask us to stop those at any time without affecting your case.
Where To Send What
7 · Using This Website
The site exists so people can find the firm and clients can reach their file. These limits keep it working and keep other people's information safe.
8 · Intellectual Property
The text, design, layout, images, and code of this website belong to Libre Litigation Inc. or are used with permission. You may read, print, and share a page for your own non-commercial use.
You keep ownership of everything you send us. You give the firm a limited license to use, copy, and store those materials to do the work you engaged us for.
Briefs, motions, and correspondence we prepare are for your matter. Reusing them in another case, or reselling them, is not permitted.
MyCase, Anthropic, Claude, SeeB AI, LawPay, and Acuity are the trademarks of their owners. Naming them here describes the tools we use and implies no endorsement.
9 · Third-Party Links
We link to tools we use, such as scheduling, payments, the client portal, and our Trustpilot profile.
Those sites are run by other companies under their own terms and privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything they publish, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, or how they handle your information.
Read their terms before you enter payment details or create an account. If a linked page looks wrong or sends you somewhere unexpected, tell us so we can correct the link.
10 · Disclaimers
An appeal can be won, lost, dismissed as untimely, or rejected on procedural grounds. Nothing on this site promises a result, and past results do not predict yours.
Statutes, rules, and case law change. A page that was accurate when written may not be today, and the site is provided without a warranty of completeness.
We work to keep the site and portal available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access and are not liable for a missed message caused by an outage you could have reported by phone.
11 · Limitation of Liability
These limits apply to your use of this website. They do not reduce any duty an attorney owes a client under the rules of professional conduct.
The site is provided on an “as is” basis. To the extent the law allows, the firm is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or from reliance on general information published here.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid the firm for the website-related service giving rise to the claim. Claims about legal representation are governed by the engagement letter and by the law of the state where the matter was handled.
You agree to indemnify the firm against claims arising from content you submit that you had no right to share, or from your misuse of the site or the portal.
12 · Governing Law
The firm is incorporated in Michigan, and this website is operated from there.
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes about the website or these terms belong in the state or federal courts sitting in Oakland County, Michigan, and both sides consent to that venue.
Representation in Arizona and North Carolina is governed by the rules of those states and by the engagement letter for that matter. Nothing here limits a client's right to file a bar complaint or a fee dispute where the rules allow it.
If any provision of these terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
13 · Changes
We revise these terms when the site, the tools, or the rules change.
The effective date at the top of the page changes with each revision. Continuing to use the site after a revision means you accept the updated terms.
A change that affects an active client's matter is communicated directly, and it never retroactively changes a fee already agreed in an engagement letter.
14 · Contact
Write to the firm before you rely on anything here. Include “Terms Question” in the subject line so it reaches the right person.
For a matter that is already open, use the client portal or call your state office. A question about these terms does not pause a court deadline.
