No attorney-client relationship is formed by using this website. An attorney-client relationship is created only if and when a written engagement agreement is signed by both you and a licensed attorney. By using this website, you agree to our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
No Legal Advice. This website provides general information and AI-assisted intake tools only. Nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice, a legal opinion, or the practice of law. Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship.
No Attorney-Client Relationship. Submitting information through this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only if and when you receive and sign a written engagement agreement with a licensed attorney.
No Guarantee of Acceptance. Submitting your case does not guarantee review, response, referral, or acceptance of representation. Whether your submission is reviewed depends on factors such as jurisdiction, practice area alignment, conflicts of interest, attorney availability, and case volume. We receive many inquiries and are unable to respond to all submissions.
If Selected. If your submission is reviewed, you may be contacted by an attorney for further discussion. If the firm determines that it cannot represent you, we may, at our discretion, provide contact information for another licensed attorney in California or New York. Any such referral is not guaranteed and does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of any particular attorney.
You are free to retain any attorney of your choosing.
If you retain an attorney to whom we refer you, the firm may receive a referral fee in accordance with applicable professional conduct rules. Any such fee will not increase the total amount you pay for legal services. Where required, you will be informed in writing and asked to provide consent.
No Guaranteed Results. No outcome is guaranteed. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case depends on its specific facts and applicable law.
Confidentiality & Conflicts. Do not include highly confidential or time-sensitive information until an attorney-client relationship has been confirmed in writing. Submissions may be reviewed solely for purposes of determining potential representation, including conflict checks and preliminary intake screening. If representation is not undertaken, the firm may have no further obligation regarding the matter.
Jurisdiction & Limitation of Review. This service is limited to matters arising in California or New York and to individuals located in those states. Any review of your submission is conducted solely for the purpose of determining whether the firm may be able to represent the matter. Our attorneys are licensed only in California and New York and are not acting as your attorney unless and until a written agreement is signed.
Consent to Contact. By starting the intake process, you consent to being contacted by phone, text, or email regarding your submission. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message.
AI Disclosure. The AI assistant used on this platform is not a lawyer, is not licensed in any jurisdiction, and does not provide legal advice. It is used solely for intake and information-gathering purposes. All representation decisions are made by a licensed attorney.
Response Time. A response may take several days. Not all submissions will receive a response. You should not delay seeking legal counsel elsewhere while awaiting a reply.
Seek Independent Counsel. You are strongly encouraged to seek independent legal counsel promptly, including through the State Bar of California or the New York Unified Court System Attorney Search. Do not rely solely on this platform, particularly if your matter may be subject to filing deadlines or other time-sensitive requirements.
