The Firm – Who is Monica? What is a Ugliuzza? And what is the Creative Law Studio?

Creative Law Studio is the federal trademark and copyright practice of Monica Ugliuzza Law, Inc. (the “Firm.”) As owner of the Site, Monica Ugliuzza Law, Inc. reserves all rights to the information provided on this Site. Monica L. Ugliuzza (the “Attorney”) is licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and licensed federally for trademark and copyright matters under the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Attorney maintains an office within the Law Firm of Halbruner, Hatch & Guise, LLP, (“HHG”) as an of counsel attorney (independently contracted attorney).

Acceptance of Agreement – Just a baby step

By your use of the Site, you are forming an agreement to the terms and conditions herein. This agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between you, as a potential client, and us and shall supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations. Upon the engagement of an attorney-client relationship, the engagement letter shall supersede, but this agreement shall remain valid for Site use.

No Legal Advice – A little information and pretty pictures

The contents found on the Site are for advertising, educational and entertainment purposes only. These materials do not and are not intended to constitute legal advice, recommendations, mediation or counseling under any circumstances, but rather to inform the reader of legal services available. Until such time that an attorney-client relationship is created, no legal advice will be provided. We do not warrant or guarantee the accurateness, completeness or adequacy of the information contained in or linked to the Site.

Attorney-Client Relationship – This relationship is not “official” until we’re “engaged”

We welcome inquiries, phone calls and emails from prospective clients. No attorney –client relationship will be created until the proper signing of an engagement letter and specified payment. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision and we welcome your questions. Non-clients contacting us by email should refrain from disclosing information which they would consider sensitive or confidential until and unless an attorney-client relationship has been established. Upon the commencement of an attorney-client relationship, the engagement letter will set forth the understandings between attorney and client and will specify and restrict Attorney’s representation to those matters and projects contemplated.

Payment for Legal Services

The engagement letter will also provide client with a price for the legal services being purchased. There may be situations where it is not possible to provide an accurate price prior to the commencement of legal services. In such cases, you will be required to pay a specified retainer, which we will bill against at the then-current hourly rate. You represent and warrant that upon your payment to us that (i) any credit information you provide is factual and complete, (ii) charges incurred will be honored by your credit card or debit card and (iii) you will pay all fees within the timing required by us. By acceptance of a fee agreement, all payments will be made on this Site, through LawPay and are placed in the account of HHG.

Paperless Firm – Yes, we hug trees

Upon engagement with the Firm, you are agreeing to receive all communication electronically. Creative law studio strives to maintain a paperless environment and as such, electronic signatures and payments are required. We are also a web-based boutique firm, which means you are agreeing to our filing and document services such as Dropbox, AltLegal, Calendly, LawPay and HelloSign (all services subject to change without notice). Please know that all steps have been taken to ensure your privacy and security of electronic communication. We have carefully chosen the above-mentioned filing and document services based on proven security and privacy standards.
