No Attorney-Client Relationship

Neither your sending an e-mail to an attorney, nor your receipt of information from this website, creates an attorney-client relationship.

We do not intend this website, or information contained in or transmitted by this website, to constitute a solicitation.

Attorney-Client Privilege; Confidential Information

We do want to hear from you by e-mail. But unless you are already a client of ours and have completed the engagement letter process, no attorney-client privilege exists and any information you e-mail to us will not constitute confidential information. Always exercise discretion before sending sensitive or confidential information by e-mail.

Reference to Professional Ratings and Prior Results

Reference to the inclusion of our lawyers in Super Lawyers, Chambers USA and/or any other bona fide lawyer rating services, as well as reference to prior results, does not guarantee a similar outcome on future legal matters in which we may, after execution of an engagement letter, represent you.

Such information is not intended to be a guarantee, warranty or prediction. The results portrayed were dependent on the facts of the particular matters described, among other variables. Results may differ if based upon different facts. We intend no assurance and make no guarantee or prediction that we will be successful in new matters, even if they involve similar facts and circumstances, or that we are successful in all matters. Results in any matter are not necessarily indicative of or similar to results in other matters. To the extent that this website includes statements that could be construed as testimonials or endorsements, no such statements are intended to constitute a guarantee, warranty or prediction regarding the outcome in any particular legal matter.
