1. General Use of the Site
The information on this Site is intended for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for legal advice. You should not rely on any information provided on the Site without seeking legal counsel. Use of the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship.

2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
By using this Site or submitting information to us, including but not limited to your email address or phone number, no attorney-client relationship is formed. An attorney-client relationship can only be established once a formal engagement agreement has been executed by both you and our firm. Communication through the Site, including email, phone, or text, does not create an attorney-client privilege, and any such communication is not confidential unless and until an attorney-client relationship is formally established.

3. Consent to Contact
By submitting your email address, phone number, or any other personal information to us via the Site, you explicitly consent to receive communications from our firm. These communications may include follow-up emails, phone calls, or text messages for the purposes of responding to your inquiries, offering legal services, or providing you with information related to your submitted request.

You acknowledge that your consent to receive communications is voluntary, and you may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us at  631-920-3848 or by following the unsubscribe instructions in any communication you receive.

The content provided on this Site, including blog posts, articles, and informational materials, is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any information provided on this Site without first consulting with an attorney.

Important Considerations:
Email and Phone Communication Consent: The sections regarding consent to contact ensure you have obtained express consent to send communications via email, phone, and text. This is essential for compliance with laws like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and CAN-SPAM Act.

Attorney-Client Relationship Disclaimer: The disclaimer clearly states that no attorney-client relationship is formed by simply using the Site or submitting information. This is important to avoid any misunderstandings about the nature of the relationship.

Opt-Out and Unsubscribe: The opt-out mechanism ensures that users can withdraw consent for communications at any time, which is a requirement under both the TCPA and CAN-SPAM.

Privacy and Data Use: Ensure that your Privacy Policy is aligned with these terms and that users are aware of how their personal data will be used, stored, and protected.
