Pricing model
Monique Fernandes charges according to the service stage involved.
Consultation, review, and broader legal work are not all the same product. The applicable fee depends on the stage of service, the scope being discussed, and what has actually been agreed.
Section 02
Accepted payment methods
Only the payment methods confirmed by the practice should be used.
Accepted methods may include the options published by the practice at the relevant time. Clients should use current payment instructions and should not rely on outdated details from old messages without confirmation.
Section 03
Billing structure
Billing should reflect the work stage, not create confusion about scope.
Payment for a consultation usually covers that consultation stage. If broader work is later agreed, it should be treated as a separate or expanded service stage unless clearly stated otherwise.
Section 04
Scope versus payment
A payment should be linked to a clearly understood service stage.
Clients should not assume that payment for one step automatically includes later filings, document preparation, or ongoing representation unless that broader scope has been expressly confirmed.
Section 05
Verification, booking control, and scheduling discipline
Payment may need to be verified before time is treated as reserved.
Monique may require proof of payment and manual confirmation before consultation or other scheduled work is treated as fully booked. This helps avoid confusion, duplication, and timing disputes.
Section 06
Security and payment integrity
Payment handling should reduce the risk of mistakes and fraud.
Clients should verify payment instructions, keep proof of payment, and use official contact channels if something seems inconsistent. The practice may also review payment details before confirming the next step.
Section 07
Non-payment consequences
Work and scheduling may pause if payment has not been completed or confirmed.
If an applicable fee remains unpaid or unverified, Monique may delay booking, review, or the next service stage until the issue is resolved.
Section 08
Payment assistance and financial considerations
Questions should be raised early if payment timing or method is an issue.
If a client needs clarification about payment method, confirmation, or timing, it is better to ask before sending funds or relying on a slot.
Section 09
Relationship with legal contracts and governing terms
Payment rules work alongside the broader service terms of the practice.
These terms should be read together with the general terms, refund policy, and any specific written engagement terms that apply to the matter.
Section 10
Frequently asked questions
The most common payment questions are about confirmation, scope, and urgency.
The practical rule is simple: confirm the right payment details, understand which stage the payment covers, and wait for proper confirmation before assuming a consultation or service step is fully secured.
