Refund Policy

Appalachian Federal Law Firm, PLLC (“AFL”)

(Last Revised April 2, 2024)

Any payments made on this website will be for initial consultations. This purchase is to ensure that the attorney will be exclusively available for the scheduled time, and the payment for scheduling an initial consultation will not be refundable. Upon confirmation of the appointment, the attorney will designate the time requested, and therefore is unable to obtain income from other sources during that time. Your payment is for the time that the attorney reserved to discuss your case.

Credit Card Charges If you pay by credit card or debit card, you will be responsible for any merchant account charges or processing fees associated with processing the payment. This is typically 4% of the transaction and may be referred to as a “convenience fee.” Processing fees, convenience fees, merchant charges, etc. are nonrefundable.

Formal Attorney-Client Agreement. Attorney-Client payments will be governed by another written Agreement. If AFL elects to take your case and represent you in any matter, AFL will furnish a separate Attorney-Client Agreement. This Agreement may call for a payment made to a trust account. You may terminate this representation at any time with or without cause by notifying AFL in writing of your desire to do so. Upon receipt of the notice to terminate representation, we will stop all legal work on your behalf immediately. You will be responsible for paying all legal fees and expenses incurred on your behalf in this matter before the date of written notice of termination was received by our firm. Any balance remaining in trust will be refunded to you.
