IMPORTANT: Family First Legal, LLC is a Maryland-licensed law firm. The "File It Yourself" document preparation service constitutes a limited-scope attorney-client relationship for the sole purpose of preparing the specific document(s) purchased. This limited-scope relationship means your communications with our firm in connection with this service are protected by attorney-client privilege, and our firm conducts a conflict-of-interest check before any drafting begins. This limited-scope relationship does not extend to ongoing legal advice, court representation, or advocacy on your behalf, and should not be understood as full legal representation.

Documents are tailored to your specific facts and applicable Maryland court forms. The optional 30-minute consultation is a document strategy consultation only and does not expand the scope of representation beyond document preparation.

Conflict of interest: If, during our conflict check, we determine that preparing your document(s) would create a conflict of interest, we will notify you promptly and provide a full refund. This will occur before any documents or other work product are exchanged between you and the attorney.

Document preparation fees may be applied toward a flat-rate full representation package offered by Family First Legal; this credit does not apply to hourly or retainer-based engagements.

We strongly encourage all clients to review their situation with a Family First Legal attorney before filing. If your matter is contested, complex, or involves domestic violence, emergency custody, or financial concealment, please contact our office directly for full legal representation.
