DISCLOSURE FROM NONLAWYER

Rule 10-2.1(b) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar defines a paralegal as a person who works under the supervision of a member of The Florida Bar and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a member of The Florida Bar is responsible. Only persons who meet the definition may call themselves paralegals. Shonda Robinson, informed me that she is not a paralegal and cannot call herself a paralegal.

Shonda Robinson, told me that she may only type the factual information provided by me in writing into the blanks on the form. Shonda Robinson , may not help me fill in the form and may not complete the form for me. If using a form approved by the Supreme Court of Florida, Shonda Robinson, may ask me factual questions to fill in the blanks on the form and may also tell me how to file the form.

In that instance, we will advise you of the cost of your documents according to time logged, and then send you a request for payment.

Refunds
All payments are final. Refunds will be issued at our sole discretion. In general, we will issue a refund if no document preparation work has begun.

We may, in our sole discretion, issue a full or partial refund even though your document preparation work has begun. Issuance of a partial refund or full refund is not to be considered an admission that we made errors in preparing your documents. Issuance of any refund is our attempt to defuse a potential dispute.
