Terms & Conditions

The program

Abogado Alfonso León ("the firm," "we," "us") pays $750 to a person ("you") who refers a new client to the firm, when that referral results in a signed representation agreement and the case qualifies under these terms.

The program is a thank-you for an introduction. It does not make you an employee, agent, partner, contractor, or representative of the firm, and it does not authorize you to act or speak on the firm's behalf.

Who can participate

You may participate if you are at least 18 years old and legally able to receive payment in the United States.

The following are not eligible to receive a referral fee:

• Employees, owners, and contractors of the firm, and their immediate family members
• Anyone whose profession or licensing rules restrict receiving payment for legal referrals — including attorneys, medical providers, chiropractors, and insurance adjusters
• Anyone who obtained the referral's information through employment at a hospital, clinic, body shop, towing company, police agency, or similar business, where sharing it would breach a duty of confidentiality or that employer's policy
• Anyone acting as a paid solicitor, "runner," or "capper," or who is compensated by a third party to route accident victims to law firms

The firm may decline to pay a referral fee to anyone it reasonably believes falls into these categories.

What counts as a qualifying referral

A referral qualifies when all of the following are true:

• The person you referred is a new contact to the firm — not an existing or former client, and not someone already in contact with the firm at the time of your referral
• You are identified as the referral source at or before the person's first substantive contact with the firm, either through the referral form on our website or by the person naming you when they call
• The firm accepts the case and the person signs a representation agreement with the firm
• The matter is a personal injury matter the firm handles in Arizona

The firm decides which cases it accepts, in its sole discretion, and is not required to explain a decision to decline. Not every referral will qualify. We will let you know either way.

If two or more people refer the same person, the firm pays one fee, to whoever the client identifies as their referral source. If the client does not identify anyone, no fee is payable.

The referral fee

• The fee is $750 per qualifying case, in U.S. dollars.
• There is no cap on the number of referrals you may make and no waiting period between them.
• The fee is paid by the firm out of its own funds. It is never taken from the client's recovery, and it never increases what the client pays.
• The fee is not a share of any attorney's fee, settlement, or judgment, and is not tied to the value or outcome of the case.

Payment and taxes

Payment is issued within 30 days of the date the person you referred signs a representation agreement with the firm — not when the case resolves.

• Payment is made by [CHECK / OTHER METHOD], sent to the address you provide.
• Before your first payment, you must provide your legal name, current mailing address, and a completed [W-9 / TAX FORM]. We cannot issue payment without it.
• Referral fees are taxable income. The firm will issue a [FORM 1099-NEC] where required by law. You are responsible for your own taxes, and the firm does not give tax advice — please speak with your own tax professional.

What you must not do

Your role is to give someone the firm's phone number or send us a name. Nothing more. You must not:

• Solicit anyone in person, by live telephone call, or by real-time electronic contact about hiring the firm. Share the number in ordinary conversation or by text, message, or social post — never as live, in-the-moment pressure.
• Approach accident victims, or their families, at a hospital, clinic, crash scene, tow yard, funeral home, or anywhere similar.
• Give legal advice, estimate what a case is worth, or predict any outcome.
• Say or imply that you work for, represent, or speak for the firm.
• Make any promise to anyone on the firm's behalf, including that the firm will take a case.
• Submit someone's contact information without their knowledge, or submit false, misleading, or made-up information.
• Pay, or offer to pay, anyone else for names.

Violating this section disqualifies you from the program and voids any unpaid fee.

Consent and privacy

Before you submit someone's name or phone number, that person must know you are sharing it and be willing to hear from us. The referral form requires you to confirm this.

We use the information you submit to contact the person you referred, to evaluate the potential case, and to administer your referral fee. We do not sell it.

Submitting a referral does not make the person you referred a client, and the firm has no obligation to contact them or to accept their case.

No attorney-client relationship

Participating in this program does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the firm, and it does not create one between the firm and the person you referred. That relationship begins only when the firm and the client sign a written representation agreement.

Nothing you say to the person you refer is confidential or privileged, and nothing you say binds the firm. You are not responsible for the case, its costs, or its outcome — and you have no claim to any part of the client's recovery.

No guarantee of outcome

Nothing on this page or on the referral page is a promise about the result of any case. Every case is different, and prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other matter.

Changes and ending the program

The firm may change these terms, change the fee amount, suspend the program, or end it at any time, for any reason, without notice. Any change takes effect when posted on this page.

Referrals submitted before a change or the program's end will be honored under the terms in effect on the day they were submitted.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. [DISPUTE RESOLUTION — venue, and whether the firm wants arbitration. Attorney to decide.]

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, call us before you refer someone. A real person will pick up.
