Contacting Our Firm — Important Notice

We welcome inquiries from individuals seeking legal representation. However, contacting our firm by email, through this website, or by any other means does not establish an attorney-client relationship or, by itself, create a prospective attorney-client relationship.

Please do not send us any confidential, privileged, sensitive, or nonpublic information about your legal matter unless and until we have expressly authorized you to do so.

Before discussing the substance of your matter, we must determine whether we have a conflict of interest. Your initial inquiry should be limited to your name, contact information, the names of the employer and other parties involved, and a brief, general description of the type of legal assistance you seek.

By submitting an unsolicited inquiry, you acknowledge that our firm has not agreed to receive confidential information or to consider representing you beyond conducting an initial conflicts review. You should not expect information submitted contrary to these instructions to be treated as confidential solely because you sent it to us, except to the extent confidentiality is required by applicable law or professional obligations.

We may already represent a person or organization whose interests are adverse to yours. We reserve the right to continue representing our existing clients, subject to our obligations under applicable law and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

An attorney-client relationship is established only when our firm expressly agrees to undertake your representation.
