This Policy applies to paid consultations booked with Somireddy Law Group PLLC through Calendly, an embedded scheduling page, or another SLG-authorized booking channel. By completing a booking and payment, the person making the booking (“you” or “prospective client”) agrees to this Policy.
The purchased service is one preliminary consultation of the duration, format, attorney or attorney category, date, time, time zone, and price displayed on the booking page and confirmed in the appointment notice. The consultation is intended to discuss the general legal matter, identify potential issues, provide preliminary legal information or advice when appropriate, and evaluate possible next steps.
Unless the booking page or an attorney expressly states otherwise in writing, the consultation fee does not include representation, filing, appearance, legal research after the meeting, document preparation, document revision, written legal opinion, agency or court fees, translation, expert services, or work performed after the scheduled consultation. Review of documents is not included unless SLG specifically requests and agrees to review them.
SLG will use reasonable efforts to provide the attorney or consultation category identified in the confirmation. When necessary, SLG may substitute another appropriately authorized attorney, propose a different appointment, or issue a refund. Booking or paying for a consultation does not guarantee that a particular attorney will be available or that SLG will accept the matter.
No attorney-client relationship is created solely by booking, payment, or attendance at a consultation. Representation begins only after required conflict review, attorney approval, agreement on scope and fees, and written acceptance by SLG. Unless that occurs, SLG has no continuing duty to act, investigate, file, appear, monitor, or protect a deadline.
Every appointment remains subject to conflict review, jurisdictional authority, professional obligations, and matter suitability. You must provide accurate names of all known persons and entities whose involvement is reasonably necessary for conflict screening. SLG may request additional information before confirming that the consultation can proceed.
SLG may decline or cancel a consultation when a conflict, professional restriction, jurisdictional issue, safety concern, false submission, inability to provide the requested service, or other lawful reason exists. If SLG cancels before the consultation occurs for such a reason, SLG will refund the consultation fee to the original payment method unless the payment is reasonably associated with fraud, a chargeback, or another unresolved payment dispute.
You may cancel through the cancellation link in the confirmation notice or by contacting SLG. A cancellation received at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time is eligible for a full refund to the original payment method. A cancellation received less than 24 hours before the scheduled start time is not refundable because the reserved attorney time may no longer be available to another person, except where SLG determines that exceptional circumstances justify a refund.
The time shown in the booking confirmation and its identified time zone control the cancellation deadline. A cancellation is effective when recorded by the booking system or received by SLG, not when it is drafted or sent to an incorrect address.
You may reschedule once without an additional consultation fee if the request is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time and the new appointment occurs within 30 days of the original appointment, subject to availability. A request made less than 24 hours before the appointment, a second rescheduling request, or failure to complete the rescheduled appointment may be treated as a late cancellation and may require a new booking and payment.
SLG may waive or modify this rule in documented exceptional circumstances, but is not required to do so. A requested attorney or appointment time may not remain available after rescheduling.
You should join or arrive promptly using the instructions in the confirmation. An attorney will ordinarily wait up to 15 minutes. If you join late, the consultation may end at the originally scheduled time and the full fee remains due. If you do not join within 15 minutes and have not received a written accommodation from SLG, the appointment will be treated as a no-show and the fee will not be refunded.
If SLG must cancel or materially delay an appointment, SLG will offer a reasonable opportunity to reschedule. If no mutually acceptable replacement time is available, SLG will issue a full refund. SLG is not responsible for consequential losses, missed opportunities, travel costs, or legal deadlines arising from a rescheduled or canceled preliminary consultation, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be limited.
If a remote consultation cannot be completed because of a material technical failure attributable to SLG or its meeting system, SLG will offer a rescheduled consultation or full refund. If the failure is attributable to your device, Internet connection, incorrect contact information, inability to access the meeting, or failure to follow connection instructions, SLG may attempt a reasonable alternative method but is not obligated to refund the fee. Promptly notify SLG during the scheduled appointment window if a technical problem occurs.
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method through the applicable payment processor. SLG will ordinarily initiate an approved refund within 10 business days after approval. The financial institution or processor may require additional time to post the credit. Processing fees, exchange-rate differences, bank charges, and cross-border charges outside SLG’s control may not be recoverable except where applicable law requires otherwise.
A person who believes a charge is incorrect should first contact SLG at the contact information below and provide the booking name, appointment date, and transaction reference. Initiating a chargeback does not create a right to a refund and may suspend booking access while the payment dispute is investigated.
A consultation fee pays for the attorney’s reserved time and professional services, not a promised opinion, strategy, eligibility determination, case acceptance, or result. After a consultation has been substantially provided, the fee is not refundable merely because you disagree with the advice, are dissatisfied with the assessment, do not qualify for a requested benefit, or SLG does not accept the matter.
Booking information is handled under the Privacy Policy. You authorize SLG and its scheduling and communications providers to send transactional email and text messages reasonably related to the appointment, payment, reminders, changes, and follow-up. This authorization does not constitute consent to unrelated marketing. Message and data rates may apply.
This Policy supplements the Website Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Legal Disclaimer. A later written engagement agreement controls any accepted representation. The version presented and accepted at the time of booking governs that booking unless a change is required by law or agreed in writing. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains effective to the fullest extent permitted by law.
