§ 06Before you send

The fine print, in plain words.

01

No attorney-client relationship yet

Calling, emailing or sending the form does not make you a client. That relationship begins only once the firm agrees to represent you.

02

Keep the details for the call

What you send before the firm represents you may not be privileged or confidential. Describe your situation in general terms; the specifics can wait for the consultation.

03

General information, not advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice about your situation. Every case turns on its own facts, which is what the consultation is for.

04

In an emergency, call 911

If you or your children are in immediate danger, call 911. Requests sent here are handled during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9 to 6.
