No Attorney-Client Relationship
Provision of the material on the Site is not intended to create, and will not create, an attorney-client relationship with you. You are welcome to contact the Firm or its attorneys, but doing so does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm.

Accordingly, do not convey to us any information you regard as confidential until you speak with one of our attorneys and receive our authorization to send that information to us. Any information you convey to us via the Internet may not be secure, and information conveyed prior to establishing an attorney-client relationship may not be privileged or confidential.
