Lawyer's Assistance Request Form

In submitting this request for proposed legal services to the California First Amendment Coalition's Member Law Firm Network, I have read the sample requests to get an idea of the suggested form my request might take. I understand that:

• My request is not subject to the attorney-client privilege and should not contain sensitive information I would wish to share only with my attorney.
  
  
• Making this request does not create an attorney-client relationship with any law firm or with the California First Amendment Coalition.
  
  
• The law firms receiving this request are not obligated to respond, and I have no obligation to engage any of those that do respond.
  
  
• In order to allow the firms to determine any potential conflicts of interest, I will identify both myself and, to the extent known at this time, the public agency or other party I may be contending with in any legal action.
  
  
• In order to obtain prompt responses and yet give all firms the chance to consider my request, I will set a deadline for response and will not make a commitment to any responding firm until the deadline has passed.
  
  
• In summary, I understand that this communication is like an "attorney wanted" classified advertisement. It states a need but does not itself create any particular expectations or duties on anyone's part.
