Incarcerated pro se litigants and their family members are again reminded that MPM is not a law firm; consequently, its investigative and paralegal staff does not engage in rendering legal advice nor are they authorized to do so. The incarcerated pro se litigant is expected to develop and then draft their own post-conviction relief argument and be aware that any non-attorney work-product, litigation support services, or opinions, obtained from MPM should not be considered a substitute for the advice of an attorney and it in no way creates an attorney-client relationship. If you require formal legal advice, need to develop legal strategies, have a need to prepare certain complex legal documents, or require other similar legal representation, you should seek the services of a properly licensed attorney. Under certain circumstances, MPM will assist with a formal inquiry to the court regarding whether the incarcerated pro se litigant is entitled to the appointment of either a Federal or State Public Defender or a CJA Panel Attorney.

MPM has subject expert Spanish speakers on staff and, depending on available time and resources, MPM will consider “Pro Bono” non-attorney litigation support services on a case-by-case basis.
