Upon completed of representation, Lawyer will notify Client.

V. DISCLAIMERS & GUARANTEES
NO GUARANTEE OF LEGAL OUTCOME (See below for Money-back Guarantee)
Client acknowledges and understands that Lawyer cannot guarantee or promise a specific legal outcome regarding the Client's traffic ticket. While Lawyer will use their best efforts and legal expertise to represent Client's interests, the resolution of legal matters, including traffic tickets, is subject to various factors, including but not limited to, the specific facts of the case, court decisions, and the discretion of the court and prosecutor. Therefore, Lawyer makes no guarantees or assurances regarding the ultimate result of the representation, including whether the traffic ticket will be dismissed, whether a deferred disposition or plea bargain offer will be accepted, or the specific consequences that may arise from the matter. Client agrees to engage Lawyer's services with the understanding that the legal outcome cannot be predetermined or guaranteed. This disclaimer is intended to clarify that while the lawyer will provide diligent representation, the final outcome of the legal matter cannot be guaranteed due to the inherent uncertainties of legal proceedings.

In recognition of the trust placed in Lawyer's representation, Lawyer offers the following money-back guarantee: If, despite Lawyer's best efforts and diligent representation, Lawyer is unable to obtain either a dismissal or a plea-bargain offer for Client’s traffic ticket other than a conviction, Lawyer will refund 100% of the flat-rate amount that Client paid directly to Lawyer for representation minus any amounts paid or due to the court for fines or court costs, which Lawyer will pay. This money-back guarantee is conditional upon Client's full compliance with these Terms, including the prompt payment of any agreed-upon fees and Client's cooperation in providing necessary information and documentation.
