**Full-Service, Limited-Scope / Unbundled Options
As a full-service law firm, Access Legal Care of course offers traditional, full-service representation, including attending all hearings, negotiating with the opposing party/attorney, preparing all documents throughout the case, and providing legal advice throughout. This type of service is what most typical law firms offer exclusively, and it often requires a large up-front retainer agreement in the several thousands of dollars. At Access Legal Care, we do offer full-representation, but our up-front fees are much lower, we often can break the retainer into smaller, more manageable payments over 2-3 weeks, and then we offer a weekly payment plan after that.
Unlike many traditional law firms, Access Legal Care also offers limited-scope / unbundled legal services. Unbundling, or limited scope representation, is an alternative to traditional, full-service representation. Instead of handling every task in a matter from start to finish, the lawyer handles only certain parts and the client remains responsible for the others. This allows clients to get expert legal advice and representation on a “pay as you go” or “flat-rate” basis, spending only hundreds of dollars for each step, rather than being required to come up with a much larger up-front retainer.
During our phone consultation, we can discuss both options with you to see what is right for you, your case, and your budget.

Access Legal Care Attorneys represent clients in Arbitration Actions. Arbitration is a private process where disputing parties agree that one or several individuals can make a decision about the dispute after receiving evidence and hearing arguments. When arbitration is binding, the decision is final, can be enforced by a court, and can only be appealed on very narrow grounds. There are two types of arbitration actions in which Access Legal Care Attorneys can help: 1) Standard Arbitration (usually court-ordered or contracted-for), and 2) Christian Arbitration Services resolving a dispute between two Christians, which is a free service.
Standard Arbitration Services. Typical arbitration that most people may be involved with is that which the parties either agreed by contract that they would engage in arbitration prior to or in lieu of filing any court action against one other, or that is ordered by a Judge. This type of Arbitration is usually performed under rules set by an organization such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA), arbitrated by professional neutral arbitrators, and the decision of the Arbitrator(s) are often binding on the parties. We represent clients who are submitting their case to arbitration. We charge affordable legal fees for doing so, plus the Arbitrator(s) also charge a fee.
Christian Arbitration Services. Access Legal Care also provides a very rarely-offered type of arbitration services which is biblically based, led by a Christian attorney, and is intended to help resolve disputes between two Christians.
This service is based on the biblical passage in 1 Corinthians 6:1-7, which says: “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! 7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?”
In this passage, the Apostle Paul is instructing believers to settle disputes either by: 1) just accepting the wrong, moving on, and letting God deal with it in His own way, or by: 2) appointing “a wise man among you…[a believer and Christian] who will be able to judge between his brethren.” Paul specifically instructs believers to take their matter before other believers, rather than taking another Christian to civil court to resolve a dispute in front of a potentially non-believing Judge, and much to the dishonor of the church before the public.
It is in the spirit of this bible passage that Access Legal Care offers free Christian Arbitration Services to believers who are in a dispute with other believers. Both parties in the dispute must be professed Christians; both parties must voluntarily agree to submit their case to our law firm for these services; and both parties must agree to not sue the other in civil court unless/until there is a failure of resolution at the conclusion of this arbitration service. Neither party will pay any legal fees to us (the service is free), and we will assign an experienced, Christian, licensed-attorney as a neutral arbitrator between the two parties to seek to arbitrate and resolve the dispute.

Typically, the IRS will work with the individuals who owe cash, and you have a few unique alternatives available to help settle your obligation with them. For example, some of those options are installment agreements, an installment agreement with partial payments, an offer in compromise, not currently collective programs, bankruptcy, release of wage garnishments, stopping the IRS from levying any bank accounts, and releasing you from any IRS obligations which are past the statute of limitations.

Regardless of the outcome of the criminal prosecution, or even if there was no prosecution, crime victims can file civil lawsuits against offenders and other responsible parties. Unlike the criminal justice system, civil courts determine whether an offender or a third party is liable for the injuries sustained as a result of the crime. If so, courts may order them to pay monetary damages to the victims. While money can never fully compensate a victim for the trauma from crime or the loss of a loved one, it can be a valuable resource to help crime survivors rebuild their lives. Also, the exposure to civil liability is a powerful incentive for landlords, businessmen, and other proprietors to enact the security measures necessary to prevent future victimizations.
Potential defendants who can be liable to crime victims include:

Medical malpractice is defined as any act or omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient.

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional or provider neglects to provide appropriate treatment, omits to take an appropriate action, or gives substandard treatment that causes harm, injury, or death to a patient. The malpractice or negligence normally involves a medical error.

QDRO/EDRO Retirement Order Services
A “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” (also known as QDRO), and an Eligible Domestic Relations Order” (also known as an EDRO) is a court order used to divide specific types of retirement plans, including qualified and 403(b) plans. According to the Internal Revenue Service, a QDRO is “a judgment, decree or order for a retirement plan to pay child support, alimony or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependents of a [retirement plan] participant.”
A QDRO grants a person known as the “alternate payee” the right to part of the retirement benefits a former spouse (the “participant”) earned through an employer-sponsored retirement plan.

A trademark is a brand name. A trademark or service mark includes any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used or intended to be used to identify and distinguish the goods/services of one seller or provider from those of others, and to indicate the source of the goods/services.
It is vitally important that you select or create a trademark that is both federally registrable and legally protectable. Although federal registration of a mark is not mandatory, it has several advantages, including notice to the public of the registrant's claim of ownership of the mark, legal presumption of ownership nationwide, and exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration.
If you are a foreign-domiciled applicant, you must have a U.S.-licensed attorney represent you at the USPTO. Non-U.S.-licensed attorneys and non-attorneys may give you inaccurate information and legal advice about your trademark rights and the registration process in the United States.
If you are domiciled in the United States, you are not required to have a U.S.-licensed attorney represent you, but we strongly encourage you to hire one who specializes in trademark law to guide you through the application process. Although USPTO staff can provide information about the federal application process, USPTO employees cannot give you legal advice or help you fill out forms.

Our services include: Filing of trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO); a basic federal direct-hit search of the federal trademark database for direct conflicts with your trademark; color adjustment and compilation of your trademark specimens and designs; Email delivery of your trademark application; Electronic copy of your trademark application; respond to and make changes to your application based on any initial communications from USPTO; 60 days unlimited legal advice.

Worker's Compensation Services
Workers’ compensation provides cash and medical benefits to workers who are injured or become ill in the course of their employment and provides money to the survivors of workers killed on the job. Benefits are provided without regard to fault and are the exclusive remedy for workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Nearly all workers in the United States are covered by workers’ compensation.
Access Legal Care lawyers assist people throughout the U.S.A. with their worker’s compensation claims. Our fees are always contingency fees, meaning you pay nothing unless we win money for you, and then our fee is taken out of the money that we get for you. It is a win-win situation.
