Payments & Refund Policy
This page explains how the Law Office of Jarod Morris (“the Firm,” “we,” “us”) bills for legal services, how online payments are handled, and our refund and cancellation policy. These terms supplement any written fee agreement you sign with the Firm; if there is a conflict, your signed fee agreement controls.
1. Fees for Legal Services
The Firm may charge for legal services on a flat-fee, hourly, or retainer basis, as set out in your written fee agreement. Court costs, filing fees, and similar expenses are generally the client’s responsibility and may be billed in addition to attorney’s fees.
2. Invoices & Online Payments
You will receive an itemized invoice for amounts due. Invoices may be paid online through a secure link. Online card payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a PCI-compliant payment processor. Your card information is transmitted directly to and handled by Stripe; the Firm does not receive or store your full card number. You will receive a receipt for each payment.
3. Payment Plans
For qualifying matters, the Firm may offer a payment plan that spreads fees over scheduled installments. If you enroll in a payment plan:
- You authorize the Firm, through Stripe, to automatically charge your payment method on file for each scheduled installment on its due date.
- You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file and for ensuring sufficient funds are available on each due date.
- If a scheduled payment does not succeed, the payment processor may re-attempt the charge, and the past-due installment remains payable using the link provided in your invoice or reminder emails.
- Missed payments may result in suspension of non-essential work on your matter and, if the default is not cured, may constitute a breach of your fee agreement. The specific consequences of missed payments are described in your written payment-plan agreement.
- You may contact the Firm at any time to discuss your payment plan.
4. Refund & Cancellation Policy
Because the Firm sells legal services rather than physical goods, refunds are governed by the following principles and by the Oklahoma Rules of Professional Conduct:
- Advance fees and retainers. Funds paid in advance for services not yet performed are held in a trust bank account on the client’s behalf and are earned only as legal work is performed. Any portion of an advance fee or retainer that has not been earned at the conclusion or termination of the representation will be refunded to the client.
- Flat fees. Where a flat fee is charged, the written fee agreement identifies specific points in the representation at which a set portion of the flat fee is earned. Any portion of the flat fee that has not yet been earned at the time the representation ends is refundable to the client.
- Earned fees and costs. Fees for work already performed, and court costs or expenses already incurred or advanced on your behalf, are generally non-refundable.
- Requesting a refund. To request a refund or to raise a billing question, contact the Firm by phone or email (below). We will review your account and respond promptly. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method through Stripe.
- Cancellation. You may end the representation at any time, subject to the terms of your fee agreement and any court approval required to withdraw. The Firm may also withdraw as permitted by the applicable rules of professional conduct.
