Advertising

that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you full

Such keyword phrases encompass the types of cases

as search terms used on the web. It is not a designation or classification by any official body,
Bar, or organization, and does not signifiy any specialty.

There is No Attorney-Client
Relationship Unless and Until We Have a Written & Signed Fee Agreement
You should not consider this information as legal
advice or creating any attorney-client relationship. The only way you and I can create an
attorney-client relationship is through a written and signed fee agreement I provide to you, review
with you, and to which we both consent in writing.
While you may be interested in hiring us as your
lawyer, you may always seek the advice of competent counsel in the your State. We do not want to
represent anyone viewing this website in a State or jurisdiction where this website fails to comply
with all laws and ethical rules of the State.
