The purpose of our website is to inform our clients and friends about our firm. It is not a substitute for legal advice; we only give legal advice to our clients about their particular situations. While we would like to hear from you, an attorney/client relationship cannot be established until we know that doing so will not create a conflict of interest and until we reach an agreement on terms of representation. Unless we have an attorney/client relationship, do not send us information that you want to remain confidential.
