About the practice
The law practice responsible for this website and its advertising is App Counsel Studio, Dean John Balaes, a Tennessee-licensed attorney. Its public contact is DJB@AppCounselStudio.com. Legal services are performed by an attorney licensed in Tennessee (BPR No. 037495) and only where the attorney is authorized to provide them.
What the Focused Review is
The $275 Focused Review is a limited legal service under Tennessee law for one app, one current final-form Privacy Policy, and one current final-form Terms document. The deliverable is one written issue-spotting review. It is not drafting, redlining, revision work, implementation, a compliance certification, or continuing monitoring.
When representation begins
An application, automated receipt, preliminary conflict check, upload, or unauthorized payment does not create an attorney-client relationship. A relationship begins only after conflicts, fit, and jurisdiction are cleared; both parties sign the written engagement agreement; and App Counsel Studio confirms in writing that the engagement is active.
Jurisdiction
Applications may be submitted from any location. The substantive review is limited to Tennessee law. Acceptance still depends on whether the service may lawfully be provided in every relevant jurisdiction. This website does not claim that App Counsel Studio is admitted or authorized everywhere it can be viewed.
No deadline monitoring
App Counsel Studio does not monitor claims, filing periods, platform deadlines, regulatory deadlines, or any other deadline during application review. The Focused Review does not accept disputes, demands, threatened claims, regulator matters, or deadline-driven work.
