Licensing Status
The jurisdictions in which our attorneys are licensed to practice are indicated within each attorney’s biography in the “Attorney” section on rachelrodgerslaw.com. Rachelrodgerslaw.com is not intended as advertising or solicitation in any jurisdiction where the site would be so characterized and fails to comply with all applicable laws and ethical rules of that jurisdiction. Rachel Rodgers Law Office does not seek to represent anyone based solely upon a visit to rachelrodgerslaw.com or upon advertising, or where to do so would not comply with applicable local laws and rules.

Virtual Law Office and Client Account/Personal Login Page
Rachel Rodgers Law Office provides its clients and potential clients the ability to create a Client Account and access certain attorney-client communications with our office and client documents through a secure personal home page on rachelrodgerslaw.com. To utilize a Client Account, you must register on rachelrodgerslaw.com by entering certain personal information and request a username and a unique password. Creating a Client Account does not, in and of itself, establish an attorney/client relationship with Rachel Rodgers Law Office.

Any information received by Rachel Rodgers Law Office through the registration process is held in strict confidence. We do not sell or otherwise disclose to third parties any personal information that you provide through rachelrodgerslaw.com except as may be required by law or in response to an investigation by law enforcement or other government authorities.

Rachel Rodgers Law Office reserves the right to suspend, revoke or terminate your use of rachelrodgerslaw.com and/or your Client Account at any time without notice to you.

Scope of Legal Services
An attorney-client relationship with prospective clients is established only after an attorney of Rachel Rodgers Law Office has expressly communicated the ability to accept representation of your matter. Rachel Rodgers Law Office may decline to provide legal service if a conflict of interest is discovered. The scope of legal services to be performed by an attorney of Rachel Rodgers Law Office will be expressly agreed upon in writing by you before any legal services are performed, and do not include any services that have been expressly excluded or are otherwise outside the scope of the written agreement.

Client Funds
No fee will be charged or obligation incurred by registering on our online law office. In some situations, a client’s funds will not be transferred to Rachel Rodgers Law Office until the legal services requested by the client are ready to be accessed and received by the client on their personal login page. However, most requested services require the upfront payment of the agreed upon fee before Rachel Rodgers Law Office will begin work. After the client’s payment of the agreed upon price is confirmed through a Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) compliant credit card processor, the client will have complete access to the legal advice, documents, research or other services provided by the attorney. If further communication with the attorney is required, the client may post a separate question regarding the received legal services or request a price quote for additional legal work.
