Incarcerated person / petitioner authorization
Petitioner name / DOC number: __________________________________
County / case number / count: __________________________________
Signer name / relationship: __________________________________
Materials covered (list documents or all materials I submit for this case): __________________________________________________
I authorize Badger Paralegal LLC to receive, store, copy, scan, reproduce, organize, accurately summarize, redact, format and use the materials I submit for the identified Wisconsin sentence-adjustment case. I authorize distribution for that purpose to the petitioner, Badger personnel and service providers handling the case, case helpers specifically authorized by the petitioner, DOC or institution Records personnel, reviewing counsel if engaged, the sentencing court and clerk, the district attorney, and other recipients required by the filing process. I confirm I own these materials or have permission to submit and authorize this use; I cannot authorize another person’s protected records merely because I possess a copy. Original statements will be preserved; substantive changes to my letter require my approval. This is a nonexclusive permission, not a transfer of ownership. Court filings may become accessible to others; confidentiality or sealing is not guaranteed. This permission does not authorize advertising, social-media publication, sale, or unrelated public distribution. I may withdraw permission for future use by written notice to Badger Paralegal; withdrawal cannot undo completed disclosures, court filings or necessary record retention. Permission lasts through completion or closure of this case unless withdrawn sooner. Separate legally required record-release forms remain necessary.
I authorize preparation of my packet and communication with the recipients described above. Only helpers I specifically approve may receive case information. This does not authorize anyone to represent me as an attorney or sign court documents for me.
