Terms of Use

1. General Disclaimer & Client Relationship

While we handle many of our cases directly, we also work with co-counsel. By contacting our firm, your potential matter may be referred to an attorney in your area who may contact you.

2. This Site Does Not Contain Medical Advice

The information on this website is not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for seeking appropriate medical or other professional advice. Please discuss any health or other concerns with your doctor or other healthcare professional.

3. State Practice & Advertising Restrictions / Disclaimers

All states and jurisdictions have statutes that make it unlawful for any person or group of persons to hold themselves out as attorneys unless admitted and licensed to practice as an attorney at law. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free information about our qualifications and experience.

The firm’s attorneys litigate federal law-based cases in federal courts throughout the United States. The firm’s attorneys also litigate in state courts, including jurisdictions where they are licensed to practice, such as New York and New Jersey, or admitted pro hac vice for the particular case.

Advertising disclaimers are required in several states when law firms or attorneys indicate practice limitations or areas of concentration. For current information, see West’s Legal Directory.
