Caveats and Warnings:

Deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters. You may lose important legal rights if you do not hire an attorney immediately to advise you with your legal needs. Many people, including many attorneys, do not check their e-mail daily, and some attorneys do not respond to unsolicited e-mail from non-clients. Unsolicited e-mail to the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. The existence of this web site is not a solicitation of e-mail.

Do not rely exclusively on the internet to find an attorney. Very few attorneys have a presence on the Internet. You can miss some of the best attorneys available by limiting your search for an attorney to the Internet. The best way to select an attorney is to ask friends, relatives, co-workers, and other people that you trust for referrals to attorneys they have worked with. If you must search for attorneys on-line, you are no better off than if you were checking yellow pages listings. Just because something is on-line does not make it better or imply an special expertise. Yahoo is one of many places you may choose to search.

This firm does not provide free legal advice over the Internet. Further, we cannot respond to inquiries regarding the law of states where we are not licensed.

Warning: Electronic mail is not confidential. You should never send confidential or sensitive information by electronic mail (or by voice mail, fax, or ordinary postal mail) except in the following circumstances:

Do not provide any confidential information to someone by electronic mail or voice mail if you are not certain that the person receiving it will maintain the information as confidential. Do not post confidential information in a message sent to an internet/usenet "newsgroup," or to an internet "mailing list" or "discussion group" or any "listserv."

For example, if you are seeking legal advice and you send e-mail to an attorney whom you have not already retained, you may later discover that this attorney represents someone else in the same case, and the attorney has a duty to disclose your information to that client. Although communications between an attorney and client are confidential, your communication is not confidential if you are not the attorney's client or if your communication is made in a setting where others are likely to receive it.

You should recognize that electronic mail may be stored and forwarded through several computer systems, and it is possible that someone may (illegally) read your email and disclose it to someone.

Any e-mail sent to this firm is sent with a waiver of confidentiality and a waiver of privacy. You do not become a firm client by sending e-mail and we can not agree to keep any e-mail sent confidential. Persons become clients only by having a retainer contract signed by both the person and a partner or shareholder in the firm and payment of a retainer resulting in the actual receipt of funds.
