Terms of use

1. Who you are dealing with

Minnesota Junk Fees is a service of Madgett Law, LLC, a Minnesota law firm. David J.S. Madgett, Minnesota Bar No. 390494, is responsible for its content and is licensed to practice in Minnesota only. IDS Center, 80 South 8th Street, Suite 1650, Minneapolis, MN 55402. 612-470-6529.

Publishing this site is a communication about the firm's services under the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct. It is attorney advertising. It is not an offer to represent you, and it is not a promise that the firm will take any particular case. It is not a government agency, is not affiliated with the Minnesota Attorney General or any other government office, and is not a legal aid or public interest legal services organization.

2. No legal advice, no attorney-client relationship

Everything here is general information about Minnesota law on advertised prices and fees. It is not legal advice, and it is not advice about your situation. Reading this site does not create an attorney-client relationship.

One thing is different, and it is the part worth reading twice. If you send us information through the form, you become a prospective client. We will keep what you send confidential under our professional obligations to prospective clients, whether or not we take your case. That duty is not the same thing as the attorney-client privilege, which generally applies to communications inside an attorney-client relationship. You do not become a client, and we do not represent you, unless and until we both sign a written agreement.

3. You are responsible for what you send

Tell us what happened as accurately as you can, from your own paperwork. Do not send anything you know to be false, and do not send information about someone else’s transaction without their authority. Do not send Social Security, card, or account numbers; the form screens for them and refuses a submission that appears to contain one.

4. No promises about results

We do not guarantee that any fee was unlawful, that any case will be filed or succeed, that anyone will pay you anything, or that any lawyer will take your case. We make no representation about the outcome of anything.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the site to submit information you know to be false.
• Use it on someone else's behalf without their authority.
• Scrape it, overload it, or try to break it, including by automated submissions to the form.

6. Third-party sites

We link to statutes on the Minnesota Revisor’s website and to other government resources, including the Minnesota Attorney General’s. Those are separate agencies operating under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control them, we are not affiliated with them, and a link is not their endorsement of us.

7. The form

Anything you send through this site comes to Madgett Law, LLC. Sending it is not representation and does not oblige the firm to act. We may decline, including because we already represent someone whose interests are adverse to yours. Representation begins only if conflicts clear and you sign a separate written engagement agreement, which is its own contract and is not governed by these terms.

Before its first question, the form asks you to agree to two things. In its own words:

3. You agree that what you send will not conflict us out. By submitting, you agree that nothing you send will prevent Madgett Law, LLC from representing a different client in the same or a substantially related matter, including a client whose interests are adverse to yours.

4. You agree we may use what you send. By submitting, you agree that Madgett Law, LLC may use the information and documents you send in evaluating claims, including claims on behalf of other clients, and may share them, in confidence, with co-counsel or consultants helping us with that evaluation.

If you are not comfortable with any of this, do not submit the form.

The form is two steps. Step one collects structured facts about one fee and how to reach you. Step two is reachable only by a link the firm sends after a conflict check, and asks two short questions. Neither step has an upload. What you receive after each is an acknowledgment, a reference number, and a copy of what you agreed to. We are not able to take every matter, and we will tell you if we cannot.

There is no charge for sending us documents, and sending them does not make us your lawyers. What Madgett Law, LLC sells is legal representation — only if you ask for it, only if we agree to take your case, and on fee terms set out in a written agreement before any work starts.

8. Availability

The guides are available to anyone. The firm looks at Minnesota matters only, because that is where David J.S. Madgett is licensed. The site is provided as-is and may change or be discontinued. We do not promise it will always be available.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Madgett Law, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing in them is intended to disclaim any obligation a law firm owes you separately.

10. Changes

These terms are versioned. When they change materially, the version number changes, and receipts record the version in effect when you acted.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by Minnesota law.
