IMPORTANT!!!!!!
Selecting an attorney for your legal needs, like selecting a doctor or surgeon, is one of the most important decisions a person makes in a lifetime. Because of its importance, most people do NOT feel comfortable "rushing into" such a decision. However, sometimes, circumstances do not allow for the luxury of contemplation, and fast decisions have to be made. Whatever your circumstances may be, do not lose sight of possible pending legal deadlines, enroute to your decision. Missing such a deadline could rob you of the opportunity to decide for yourself how to proceed.
Selecting an attorney for your legal needs is important. Because of its importance, great care should be taken to make sure the attorney you select understands and appreciates your unique circumstances and case facts. A Client should meet with the attorney to discuss their case and the litigation strategy of the attorney . . . BEFORE finalizing any hiring decision. It is important for the Client to understand exactly WHEN an attorney-client relationship has been officially, legally established or consummated.
Typically, this occurs once the attorney and Client have signed a contract or agreement specifying the terms, scope, conditions and nature of the legal services to be rendered (Retainer Agreement). However, a temporary attorney-client relationship DOES EXIST during a Client's initial consultation with an attorney, prior to the Client finalizing a hiring decision. This temporary attorney-client relationship entitles the Client to full confidentiality as to all legal matters discussed with that attorney, even if the Client later hires a different attorney.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!
This website is an attorney advertisement. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisements. Before you decide to hire an attorney, ask the attorney to provide you information about their qualifications and experience and speak directly with the attorney before you decide. The information you obtain at this site is not intended to be legal advice for any particular client case. You should 'personally' consult an attorney for individual legal advice regarding your own unique, specific legal situation.
Each case is unique, with a unique set of facts and circumstances involved. For this reason, direct consultation with an attorney about the facts and circumstances in YOUR case is invariably necessary before an attorney can make a responsible assessment of your case.
Clients should always remember that "Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome" in YOUR case for the reasons just stated. It is a violation of Bar Ethics for an attorney to guarantee a particular favorable result or to even insinuate such a guarantee in a particular case. Nothing in this website should be construed as asserting a guarantee about an outcome in YOUR case. While attorneys may harbor great confidence about a particular case, no honest attorney would ever GUARANTEE a favorable result. And for this reason, our office offers a FREE Initial Consultation with prospective clients, for the purpose of discussing and assessing YOUR case . . . prior to YOU, the prospective client, making a hiring decision.
