E-mail Disclaimer

 

We invite you to contact us and welcome your e-mail messages.  However, contacting us by e-mail, or through the use of any other form of correspondence or communication, or even discussing a legal issue with us over the telephone, does not create an attorney-client relationship.  Although communications between an attorney and client are confidential, your communication is not confidential if you are not the attorney's client. An attorney-client relationship will not exist unless you and the Law Offices of George Merritts, expressly agree, in writing, that we will serve as your attorney.

 

If you are seeking legal advice and you send e-mail to, or leave a message for, an attorney whom you have not already retained, you may later discover that this attorney represents someone else in the same matter. Therefore, you should not send any confidential information to us until such time as an attorney-client relationship has been established.

 

Deadlines are very important in legal matters. Therefore, if you have not retained us, and we do not respond to you within 24 hours, you should immediately hire another attorney to represent you, or you may lose important legal rights.
