Terms & Conditions
This site is owned by Stein-Conaway Law Firm, P.C. (the “Firm”). Use of steinconawaylaw.com or any Firm-sponsored blog linked to this Site (collectively, the “Site”) is governed by the following terms of use.
Please read the “Terms of Use” carefully. By using the Site you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to these terms of use, do not use the Site.
We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited right to access, use and display the Site, as long as you fully comply with these Terms. The Firm may modify the Terms from time to time and your continued use of the Site thereafter will confirm your agreement to those modifications.
1. No Attorney-Client Relationship or Legal Advice Through Website
The Site is for general information purposes to allow you to learn more about the Firm. The information on the Site is not intended as legal advice and is not to be acted upon as such. It may not be current and may be changed without notice.
Your use of this Site or communication with the Firm through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship. This Site is not intended as a solicitation, is not intended to convey or constitute legal advice, and is not a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney. You should not act on any information presented in the Site without consulting with a qualified attorney.
Email or other written communications to the Firm will not establish an attorney-client relationship. The Firm cannot and does not accept a proposed new client or matter until a determination is made that a proposed representation would not conflict with other clients and matters being handled by the Firm and would otherwise be acceptable to the Firm. Unless you have prior written authorization from one of our attorneys, do not send or communicate any confidential information to the Firm, through the Site or otherwise, as we cannot assure that it will be treated as confidential or privileged without an attorney-client relationship in place.
2. Compliance
The Firm’s attorneys are licensed to practice law in California. This Site is not intended to promote or advertise the Firm’s services in any other state. The Firm is not willing to accept representation of clients from those states where the marketing materials do not comply with state bar requirements and where the client is generated as a result of that communication. This Site may be considered a “legal advertisement.” The Firm does not seek to represent anyone based solely upon a visit to this Site. In situations in which the Firm’s fees are contingent or partially contingent on the outcome of the matter, the client is obligated to pay for court costs and expenses regardless of the outcome. None of the attorneys of the Firm are “specialists” certified by the California State Bar.
3. Disclaimers; No Warranty or Liability
In accordance with the rules of professional responsibility, the Firm emphasizes that the testimonials and other information on this Site do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any legal matter, including yours. No representation is made or intended that the quality of the legal services to be provided by the Firm is greater than the quality of legal services that are offered by other lawyers, or that you will obtain a better result in your matters by using our Firm instead of others. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each representation has unique facts and circumstances that affect results. You should not assume that your matter will achieve a similar or better outcome than any described on the Site.
The Site content is provided “as is” and without representation or warranty of any kind. The Firm makes no warranty, express or implied, concerning suitability, reliability, accuracy, fitness, merchantability, or otherwise.
