Agreements That Protect You

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Brenn Law website, scheduling a consultation, or engaging our legal services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use our website or services.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of our services after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will notify you of material changes through our website or direct communication.

Scope of Legal Services

Brenn Law provides legal representation and counsel in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. Our services include, but are not limited to:

• Personal Injury Representation: Negotiation and litigation of claims arising from car accidents, workplace injuries, and other tort claims.
• Family Law: Divorce proceedings, child custody and support, adoption, and domestic relations matters.
• Criminal Defense: Representation in state and federal criminal proceedings, from arraignment through trial and appeal.

The specific scope of representation for each client will be detailed in a separate engagement letter or retainer agreement. These Terms serve as a general framework governing all client relationships.

Client Responsibilities

As a client of Brenn Law, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information relevant to your legal matter.
• Respond promptly to communications and requests for documentation or information.
• Attend scheduled meetings, court appearances, and proceedings as required.
• Pay fees and costs in accordance with the agreed-upon fee structure.
• Act in good faith and refrain from any conduct that could prejudice your case or the firm's ability to represent you effectively.
• Notify us immediately of any changes in your contact information or circumstances affecting your legal matter.

Attorney-Client Relationship

An attorney-client relationship with Brenn Law is formed only upon execution of a written engagement agreement. Until such agreement is signed, no attorney-client relationship exists, and any information you provide may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Once established, the attorney-client relationship is governed by the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct. Our attorneys are committed to providing competent, diligent, and confidential representation in accordance with all applicable ethical standards.

Either party may terminate the relationship upon written notice, subject to the terms of the engagement agreement and applicable ethical rules regarding withdrawal from representation.

Fee Structure & Payment Terms

Our fee arrangements vary depending on the nature of the legal matter. We offer the following fee structures:

• Contingency Fees: For personal injury cases, our fees are calculated as a percentage of the recovery obtained. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
• Hourly Fees: Certain matters are billed at an hourly rate, with detailed invoices provided monthly.
• Flat Fees: For defined services such as contract review, will preparation, or uncontested divorces, we may offer a fixed fee arrangement.

All fee arrangements will be clearly documented in your engagement letter. Costs and expenses (such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, and investigation costs) are separate from legal fees and will be itemized on your billing statements.

Confidentiality & Privacy

Brenn Law maintains the highest standards of confidentiality regarding all client information. We will not disclose any information relating to your representation without your written consent, except as required by law or ethical rules.

Confidentiality extends to all communications, documents, and strategies developed during the course of representation. However, clients should be aware that:

• Communications through unencrypted email may not be secure, and we cannot guarantee confidentiality of electronically transmitted information.
• Information shared in initial consultations before a formal engagement agreement is signed may have limited privilege protections.
• We may be required by law to disclose information in certain circumstances, such as to prevent imminent harm or as required by court order.

Limitation of Liability

Brenn Law shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of our website or services, including but not limited to:

• Loss of data, profits, or business opportunities.
• Delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including court scheduling, opposing counsel conduct, or force majeure events.
• Actions taken or not taken based on information obtained from our website, which is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Our liability for any claim arising from our services shall be limited to the fees paid by you for the specific matter giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by applicable law or ethical rules.

• You remain responsible for fees and costs incurred up to the date of termination.
• We reserve the right to withdraw from representation if you fail to cooperate, provide inaccurate information, engage in unethical conduct, or fail to pay fees as agreed.
• Upon termination, our confidentiality obligations continue indefinitely, and these Terms survive to the extent necessary to give effect to such provisions.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and the United States of America. Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall be resolved as follows:

• Informal Resolution: Both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiations before pursuing formal action.
