1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website beverlyhillslawpartners.com and related services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by Beverly Hills Law Partners (“BHLP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, submitting a form, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a law firm or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. Nature of the Service
BHLP operates a matching service that connects individuals seeking legal help (“Clients”) with independent, third-party attorneys (“Attorneys”). The Service allows Clients to submit information about a legal matter and be connected with one or more Attorneys who may be able to assist.
- BHLP is not a law firm and does not practice law, provide legal advice, or provide legal representation.
- No attorney-client relationship is created between you and BHLP by using the Service. An attorney-client relationship is formed only if and when you and an Attorney separately agree to it.
- No endorsement or guarantee: BHLP does not guarantee the quality, competence, or outcome of any Attorney’s services, and inclusion of an Attorney is not an endorsement or recommendation of that Attorney.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
4. Terms for Clients
- Consent to be contacted: By submitting the intake form, you request to be connected with one or more Attorneys and consent to be contacted by BHLP and by matched Attorneys by phone, email, or text using the contact information you provide, including where a tracked phone number is used.
- No fee to Clients: BHLP does not charge Clients for being matched. Any fees for legal services are set by, and paid directly to, the Attorney you engage.
- Your decision: you are under no obligation to hire any Attorney you are matched with, and you are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting an Attorney.
- Accurate information: You agree to provide accurate information about your legal matter so that we can attempt an appropriate match.
5. Terms for Attorneys
- Licensing and compliance: you represent that you are licensed and in good standing in each jurisdiction where you accept matters, and that your participation and communications comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct and advertising rules.
- Purchased leads/credits: Attorneys may purchase lead credits or packages as described at the time of purchase. Details of pricing, credits, and any refund or credit policy are set out in the separate Attorney Agreement, which governs in the event of a conflict with these Terms on those subjects.
- No guarantee of results: BHLP does not guarantee any number of leads, the quality or conversion of any lead, or that any lead will result in a retained client.
- Independent relationship: Attorneys are independent third parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, joint venture, or agency relationship between BHLP and any Attorney.
- Responsibility for client relationships: once connected, the Attorney is solely responsible for the attorney-client relationship, including conflicts checks, engagement terms, fee arrangements, and compliance with professional obligations.
