Advocacy Service Agreement — The RMR

1. Non-Legal Advocacy Services

I understand that I am purchasing non-legal special education advocacy services from Montgomery Law Group, PLLC.

These are not lawyer services. They do not include legal advice, legal analysis, legal opinions, or legal representation. No attorney is being retained through this purchase.

Purchasing or using these services does not create an attorney-client relationship with Montgomery Law Group, PLLC, Dr. Mary Montgomery, the assigned advocate, or any attorney associated with Montgomery Law Group, PLLC. Communications concerning these advocacy services may not be protected by attorney-client privilege.

An advocate may provide educational guidance, review educational records, help prepare for school meetings, participate in meetings, and assist with communications concerning a student’s educational program.

An advocate will not act as my lawyer, give me legal advice, file legal claims, or represent me in a due process hearing, administrative proceeding, or court case.

Legal services require a separate written legal-services agreement signed by Montgomery Law Group, PLLC and the client.

2. What I Am Purchasing

I am purchasing The RMR — Review, Meet, Report — for a fixed fee of $475.

• Review — Dr. Montgomery reads my child’s current IEP or 504 plan in full.
• Meet — she meets with me to go through what she found, by video anywhere in the fifty states, or in person in South Florida subject to availability.
• Report — I receive a written report setting out what the plan says, what it omits, and what to ask for next.
• The report is mine to keep and use, whether or not I engage Montgomery Law Group, PLLC again.

3. Fixed Fee

The RMR is a fixed fee of $475 for the review, the meeting, and the written report. It is a single fixed price, not an hourly charge, and it is not a time-limited or promotional rate.

4. Refunds

The fee is refundable in full until my meeting with Dr. Montgomery is scheduled.

Once a meeting has been scheduled, the fee is earned and is no longer refundable, except where otherwise required by law.

Refund requests must be emailed to contact@educationlawyers.com before a meeting is scheduled.

5. Scheduling

After I purchase The RMR, Montgomery Law Group, PLLC will contact me to arrange the meeting.

The meeting is held by video, available in all fifty states, or in person in South Florida subject to availability.

6. No Guaranteed Outcome

I understand that Montgomery Law Group, PLLC and the advocate cannot promise or guarantee any particular educational, administrative, or legal result.

Honest advice is given either way: if I do not need an advocate, I will be told so.

7. Payment Authorization

I authorize Montgomery Law Group, PLLC to charge my selected payment method $475 for The RMR.
