3. No attorney-client relationship from site use
Visiting this website, reading its content, submitting an inquiry, uploading files, or speaking with firm staff for an initial screening does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when the Firm expressly agrees to represent you, typically after a conflicts check and execution of a written engagement agreement (or other clear acceptance consistent with applicable ethics rules). Until representation is established, do not send confidential strategy or highly sensitive materials you would not want a non-client to see.
4. No legal advice
Content on this site - including articles, practice-area descriptions, results summaries, FAQs, and form prompts - is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney who has reviewed the facts of your matter. Laws change and facts matter; information may be incomplete or outdated.
5. No confidentiality guarantee for unsolicited information
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through our intake channels. However, unsolicited information sent before an attorney-client relationship exists may not be treated as privileged or confidential to the same degree as client confidences. See our Privacy Policy for how website and intake data is handled.
