Legal Plan Agreement
Last Updated: 04/14/2023
- Description of Service. The Ask My Attorney Service is designed to assist you in determining your best options for obtaining immigration benefits. When you register for the Ask My Attorney Service, you will complete a short questionnaire and schedule a 30 minute strategy consultation call with an independent attorney. RapidVisa will provide your answers to the independent attorney for review prior to your call. During your call, you will speak with the independent attorney who will discuss your immigration status, goals and concerns. After learning more about you, the independent attorney will explain options available to you and provide recommendations, including any appropriate RapidVisa services for obtaining immigration benefits. RapidVisa's services may not be appropriate for everyone.
- RapidVisa is Not a Law Firm. This service is being provided by an entity that is not a traditional legal provider. This entity is owned/managed (fully or partially) by nonlawyers who are not subject to the same rules as lawyers. For more information click here.
- Attorney Agreement. While the RapidVisa Terms of Use and these Ask My Attorney Service service-specific terms govern your relationship with RapidVisa, your relationship with the Attorney that assists you is governed by a Limited Scope Representation Agreement (“Attorney Agreement”).
- Attorney Independence. The Attorney that assists you is an independent practitioner and is not an employee of RapidVisa. The Attorney will exercise the Attorney’s independent legal judgment, without interference, influence, or control by RapidVisa. The Attorney must act in your best interest, provide competent assistance, and comply with the rules of professional conduct governing the Attorney’s practice of law.
- Attorney Compensation. A fixed portion of the amount you pay to RapidVisa when you purchase the Ask My Attorney Service will be paid to the Attorney (the “Flat Fee”). Upon the Attorney’s receipt of all or any part of the Flat Fee, the funds paid to the Attorney are the property of the Attorney and will not be placed in a trust account. The fact that you have paid in advance does not affect your right to terminate the attorney-client relationship. If your relationship with the Attorney is terminated before the legal services described above have been completed, you may or may not have a right to a refund of all or a portion of the amount of the Flat Fee. In addition to the Flat Fee, the Attorney may also be compensated an additional amount by RapidVisa to ensure sufficient attorney time and resources will be available to serve RapidVisa’s customers. You are not responsible for, and will not be charged, any such additional amount paid by RapidVisa to the Attorney.
- Your Consent Regarding Attorney Communications. You expressly grant RapidVisa permission to receive, store, forward, and review communications between yourself and the Attorney, solely for the purpose of facilitating such communications and the Attorney’s services. You understand that RapidVisa has agreed to keep such communications and the information contained therein confidential to at least the same level of privacy as required by the Attorney under the laws and rules governing the Attorney’s communications with you.
- Your Acknowledgments and Agreement. You acknowledge and agree to each of the following:
- You have read and understand the Attorney Agreement.
- The Attorney is relying entirely on the facts, information, and documents you provide. The Attorney will not make any independent investigation of your facts or information, or the authenticity of any documents you provide. It is therefore extremely important that you are completely truthful as to any information you provide.
- The Attorney is not promising you a favorable result.
- The legal services described above in the section titled “Description of Service” are the only legal services to be provided by the Attorney, and the Attorney is not required to provide assistance or representation in any further or other legal matters.
- The Attorney’s representation of you ends when your call with the Attorney ends unless the attorney-client relationship is earlier terminated.
- You are responsible for the Flat Fee and agree that the Flat Fee may be taken from the purchase price you paid to RapidVisa for the Ask My Attorney Service you purchased and paid by RapidVisa to the Attorney that assists you. You understand that the Attorney may receive additional compensation from RapidVisa beyond the Flat Fee, but that you are not responsible for any such additional compensation.
