Agreement for Limited Legal Advice

This is an agreement between the "Lawyer in the Library Program" and you. It contains the basic terms of our agreement to provide you with limited legal advice and assistance so that you can better understand your legal issue and/or represent yourself in your court case.

Scope of legal advice: You have asked us to provide legal advice. We will assist you by providing you with advice and information. We have not agreed to represent you by, for example, filing forms for you, going to a hearing or trial with you, preparing your case for trial or providing any legal help other than the assistance provided in this interview. The attorney you meet with may not have expertise in the area of law you need. They will make every effort, using available reference resources, to answer your questions.

Duration of legal help: Our agreement to advise you will begin immediately and will end at the completion of your interview today. We do not promise to help you after that.

Opposing Party: The opposing party may also seek and obtain assistance from this program.

Cooperation: To advise you effectively, we need your cooperation. You agree to answer any questions we ask you.

Attorney's Fees: We will not charge you an attorney's fee for our advice.

Costs: There are costs that are part of your lawsuit. We will not pay any costs in your case. Rather, you will be responsible for all costs.

Declining to advise: We may decline to give you advice if:
1. We have a conflict of interest - for example, that the attorney already advises the other party or provided representation to the other party in the past.
2. Your legal problems are beyond the scope of this project.
3. For any other reason set forth in the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct.
Please indicate your agreement by typing your name below. *
