Refund Guarantee and Engagement Agreement: Tecle Law PLLC

  1. PARTIES & SCOPE: This agreement is between Tecle Law PLLC (“Firm”) and Client for a civil lawsuit seeking an Expunction (“Clear My Record”).
  2. FLAT FEE STRUCTURE: Client agrees to a total flat fee of $1,500.00, consisting of a $1,050.00 Legal Fee and a $450.00 Initial Investigative Audit Phase
  3. INITIAL INVESTIGATIVE AUDIT PHASE: The $450.00 is a fixed, flat fee. This is deemed earned by the Firm upon completion of the Investigative Audit Phase. This phase includes the verification of case dispositions, checking for disqualifying criminal history, finalizing a Statutory Eligibility Memo (when a memo is necessary), seeking an Agreed Order of Expunction from the State, and maintaining and tracking waiting periods for expunction eligibility, and creating the client file during the intake process. Once these tasks are completed, this portion of the fee is non-refundable as it represents payment for completed legal and investigative services.
  4. MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: If the Court denies the Petition for Expunction through no fault of the Client, the Firm will refund the $1,050.00 Legal Fee in full. Refund applies to the $1,050 legal fee only.
  5. GUARANTEE REVOCATION: This guarantee is strictly contingent on the Client’s total transparency; any material misrepresentation or withholding of relevant information (such as undisclosed prior arrests or failed PTI conditions) revokes this guarantee at the sole discretion of the Firm.
  6. AFFIRM FINANCING: Client acknowledges that Affirm is a third-party lender, not the Law Firm, and the Firm is not responsible for refunding any interest, late fees, or financing charges paid by the Client to Affirm.
  7. LOW-PAYMENT DISCLOSURE: While Client may qualify for payments as low as $63/month through Affirm, Client remains responsible for the full $1,500.00 balance; specific monthly amounts, APR (10–36%), and term lengths are determined solely by Affirm based on Client credit. Payment options through Affirm are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required.
  8. TERMINATION & TIMELINE: Fees are considered earned in stages ($450 initial investigative audit phase, $750 filing, and remainder upon Final Order), and while the Firm works diligently, delays from court dockets or prosecutor reviews are common and outside the Firm’s control. All payments are deposited in the Firm’s IOLTA account until earned or spent on fees/costs. Firm guarantees no result and guarantees no timeline.
