Disclaimer
The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.
An attorney-client relationship is one that you should give careful attention to. We encourage our prospective clients to meet with and interview a lawyer before engaging the services of a lawyer.
This Web site contains general information only, and is not intended to express legal advice, or to imply attorney-client relationship by its receipt or delivery. Do not rely upon, or act upon, any of the site’s information without seeking legal advice from a lawyer licensed in your own state or country, positioned to assess your situation personally.
We cannot provide you with legal advice without first establishing a formal attorney-client relationship. However, before we can discuss your matter with you, or even receive confidential information from you, to consider entering an attorney-client relationship, we must first determine that doing so will not cause a conflict of interest or otherwise be contrary to the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct. That requires us to ask you for certain limited information (such as the identity of parties involved), so that we can conduct an initial conflicts check. Even if we determine that no conflict exists, we reserve the discretion as to whether or not to consider or undertake representation of your matter. No formal attorney-client relationship is created unless and until we agree to enter one with you, and you agree to engage our services and satisfactorily arrange for payment. We reserve the right to decline representation at our discretion.
For this reason, we do not offer or accept electronic mail dialogue through this Web site. To speak with anyone at The Law Offices of Donald R. Whitney, Chartered, we encourage you to telephone us or make an appointment to visit us in person at our offices.
