Welcome to Jean-Louis Law, P.C.! We’re so glad that You’ve taken the time to read Our Terms of Use, and it’s important that You read them from beginning to end.
**Please note that this is the Terms of Use for Our Website, as defined in the answer to question 1. A different agreement, called the terms of purchase, applies to purchases of our products (such as online courses).**
We believe that a contract should answer fundamental questions about the relationship between the parties to the contract. So, We’ve set up Our Terms of Use in a question and answer format. We hope that it makes it easier to read and understand.
Let’s start by establishing the definitions of some important words that will be used throughout the Terms of Use.
• Terms (with a capital T) refers to these Terms of Use.
• We, Us, Our, or the Company all refer to Jean-Louis Law, P.C. (“Jean-Louis Law“).
• You or Your refers to any person who reads or accepts the Terms, whether acting in a personal capacity or on behalf of an organization, such as a business.
• Customer refers to any person or entity who 1) purchases Our products or services and 2) is not Client.
• Client refers to any person or entity with whom We have formed a client relationship.
• Websites refers to www.jllaw.net and other pages on other websites controlled by Us (clio.com, lawmatics.com and social media platforms).
You’ll know that these words have a special meaning throughout the agreement because they will all be capitalized. So if You see the capitalization of words that seems random, it’s not poor grammar on Our part; instead, that’s Our indication to You that those capitalized words are defined terms in this agreement.
All other important words are defined in the answer to the relevant question. You’ll know it’s a word with a special meaning because it will be in bold and italicized font like this the first time it’s used and then capitalized with every subsequent use.
The Terms are a legally binding agreement between You and Us concerning Your use of Our Website and certain services You access through Our Website. A legally binding agreement is one that can be enforced in a court of law.
We reserve the right to update or modify the Terms at any time. We will also post a “Last Updated” date on the Terms so that you can identify when it was most recently changed.

An Introductory Call is a phone or video consultation with a member of Jean-Louis Law’s team in which no legal advice is provided. A Pick Our Brain Session is a phone or video consultation in which limited legal advice is provided by an attorney who is part of Jean-Louis Law’s team. However, neither the Introductory Call nor the Pick Our Brain Session make You a Client of the Company. You only become a Client once you sign an agreement specifying the services to be provided to You and the fees to be charged by the Company.
