No Legal Advice

The information contained in the Website is general in nature and may not apply to your particular facts or circumstances. Every legal matter is unique and depends upon its own facts, applicable law, available evidence, and numerous other factors.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

An attorney-client relationship is created only after:

1. the Firm has determined that no reason, including conflict of interest, prevents the representation and if any potential client or client is aware of any actual or potential conflict of interest it is the duty of said person to immediately notify the Firm in writing of same via email;
2. the Firm agrees in writing to undertake the representation; and
3. both the client and the Firm execute a written engagement or retainer agreement, signed by an authorized attorney and officer of the Firm.

Communications sent to the Firm through the Website, email, contact forms, text messages, social media, voicemail, or otherwise may not be secure, private or confidential.

Legal claims are frequently subject to strict statutes of limitation (e.g., time limits to settle or file suit), statutes of repose, governmental claim presentation requirements, contractual limitations periods including those set forth in insurance policies, notice requirements, filing deadlines, and numerous other procedural requirements including time deadlines.

Failure to comply with these or any deadlines and or procedures may permanently bar, end, prevent, reduce, diminish, or otherwise adversely affect your legal rights or ability to recover damages.

It is to provide general, not specific information.  You should immediately consult an attorney licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction to determine what deadlines and other procedures may apply to your specific matter.

Past Results
