At Gavvl Law, we are committed to providing transparent and professional services in accordance with the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct. This refund policy applies to our Limited Scope Representation agreements and outlines how refunds are handled should the agreement be terminated before the completion of all services.

​

1. Proportionate Refunds
   Clients are entitled to a refund of any unused portion of fees for services not yet performed under the terms of the Limited Scope Representation Agreement. Any refunds issued will be calculated based on the proportion of work not yet completed in furtherance of the agreed-upon services.

2. Work Completed by the Attorney
   For any work performed by the attorney under the Limited Scope Representation Agreement, fees will be deducted based on a reasonable hourly rate of $300.00 per billable hour. This ensures compliance with Ohio Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(a), which requires legal fees to be reasonable based on the work performed and the value provided.

3. No Refunds for Case Outcomes
   Refunds will not be issued based on the outcome of any case. Legal outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and the client understands that payment for services reflects the attorney's time, effort, and expertise, not the result of the case.

4. Non-Refundable Retainer Fees (If Applicable)
   If a non-refundable retainer fee is included in the Limited Scope Representation Agreement, this will be explicitly stated in the agreement and will not be refunded, in accordance with Ohio Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(d)(3). Any such retainer will still be applied toward the work completed by the attorney.

5. Refund Process
   Upon termination of the Limited Scope Representation Agreement, Gavvl Law will provide the client with:

   • A detailed accounting of the work performed.

   • The total hours billed at $300.00 per hour.

   • The amount of any refund due, based on unearned fees.

   Refunds will be processed promptly, typically within 14 business days, unless additional clarification or documentation is needed.

6. Professional Liability Insurance
   The client acknowledges and understands that professional liability insurance is carried by the individual attorney providing services and not under Gavvl Law, LLC.

7. Disputes and Arbitration

   • Any disputes arising from this engagement with Gavvl Law shall be addressed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

   • Arbitration shall be conducted in Hamilton County, Ohio, and the non-prevailing party shall be responsible for all costs associated with arbitration, including, but not limited to, filing fees, arbitrator fees, and attorney fees.

8. Modification of Services
   Should the scope of representation change during the course of the agreement, any adjustments to fees or refunds will be handled in accordance with the modified terms and documented in writing.

This refund policy ensures that fees are fair, reasonable, and transparent, aligning with the ethical standards set forth by the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct.
