DISCLOSURE
I, Ofelia Lisa Hernandez, am not an attorney or a law firm. I am currently a law student. This website is a course-graded project in Law Practice Technology that I am currently enrolled in with Professor Ulysses N. Jaen, J.D., M.P.A., M.I.L.S. at Ave Maria School of Law. I cannot provide legal advice for any situation or case. I cannot make personal recommendations as to what documents should or should not be used and cannot attempt to predict the legal impact of any specific matter. I am not an attorney in the State of Florida or any other state; therefore, by law, I cannot explain or interpret the contents of any document for you, instruct you on how to complete a document, or direct you on the advisability of your case. By doing so, I would be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and could face legal penalties that include the possibility of incarceration. Any questions about your legal matter should be addressed to an attorney or other trusted professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you give me advice over the phone?
I can schedule a telephone conference to determine if I can assist you with your issue(s). However, once it is determined that I will be able to advise you of your options, I would need to be retained by you to discuss your matter further over the phone. At that time, I will e-mail you a legal representation agreement regarding the limited scope of the representation for which I would be responsible in advising you of your options, and my fee for such services would be collected at the time. Once payment has been received, I can continue the discussion, advising you of your options.
Under Rule 1.1 Competence - Comment
Client-Lawyer Relationship
Legal Knowledge and Skill it states that:
[1] In determining whether a lawyer employs the requisite knowledge and skill in a particular matter, relevant factors include the relative complexity and specialized nature of the matter, the lawyer's general experience, the lawyer's training and experience in the field in question, the preparation and study the lawyer is able to give the matter and whether it is feasible to refer the matter to, or associate or consult with, a lawyer of established competence in the field in question. In many instances, the required proficiency is that of a general practitioner. Expertise in a particular field of law may be required in some circumstances.
[2] A lawyer need not necessarily have special training or prior experience to handle legal problems of a type with which the lawyer is unfamiliar. A newly admitted lawyer can be as competent as a practitioner with long experience. Some important legal skills, such as the analysis of precedent, the evaluation of evidence and legal drafting, are required in all legal problems. Perhaps the most fundamental legal skill consists of determining what kind of legal problems a situation may involve, a skill that necessarily transcends any particular specialized knowledge. A lawyer can provide adequate representation in a wholly novel field through necessary study. Competent representation can also be provided through the association of a lawyer of established competence in the field in question.
Thoroughness and Preparation
[5] Competent handling of a particular matter includes inquiry into and analysis of the factual and legal elements of the problem and use of methods and procedures meeting the standards of competent practitioners. It also includes adequate preparation. The required attention and preparation are determined partly by what is at stake; major litigation and complex transactions ordinarily require more extensive treatment than matters of lesser complexity and consequence. An agreement between the lawyer and the client regarding the scope of the representation may limit the issues for which the lawyer is responsible. See Rule 1.2(c).
Do you do prenuptial or postnuptial agreements?
Yes. I do prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements. Please contact me to discuss your situation so I can properly advise you.
Do you take DWI cases?
Yes. I do take DWI cases; however, every DWI case is different and would need to discuss the specific circumstances surrounding the DWI arrest.
Do you take slip-and-fall cases?
No. I do not take slip-and-fall cases.
Do you handle adoptions?
Yes. However, there are different requirements in certain situations regarding adoptions. Don't hesitate to contact me so I can discuss your matter further to determine if this would be an option for you.
Do you give military discounts?
Yes. Depending on the legal representation you require, I do give military discounts.
Can you handle guardianship cases?
Yes. However, there are different requirements in certain situations regarding guardianships. Don't hesitate to contact me so I can discuss your matter further to determine if this would be an option for you.
Do you handle elder fraud cases?
Yes. However, there are different requirements in certain situations regarding elderly fraud. Don't hesitate to contact me so I can discuss your matter further to determine if this would be an option for you.
