Website Terms of Use

Use of this Website constitutes your acceptance of the terms below. Our privacy notice is located below the legal disclaimer.

The materials located on this Website are for general informational purposes only and shall not constitute legal advice. It is the goal of this Website to provide accurate information, but since laws change frequently and may become out of date, we cannot guarantee that the information provided herein is accurate or appropriate for an individual's specific situation. Any visitors to this Website should, therefore, obtain professional advice from licensed legal counsel in his/her state before acting on any of the information contained in this Website. External websites linked to this website are subject to their own terms of use. Linking of websites does not imply endorsement by Berns & Berns ("Firm").

Under no circumstances does this Website, directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, correspondence by any means to or from Firm, establish or intend to establish an Attorney-Client relationship between you and Firm. Firm is available for consultation regarding legal matters; however, the act of sending electronic mail to this law firm or making an Online Contact Form submission does not alone create an Attorney-Client relationship. This office is under no obligation to respond to your messages, and if such response is given, it is done solely as a courtesy. No legal advice will be given over the Internet, by telephone, fax, or otherwise before an Attorney-Client relationship is established. The Attorney-Client privilege will not protect your message, as you do not have an Attorney-Client relationship with this office solely as a result of your initial inquiry. The proper way to establish an Attorney-Client relationship with this office is to sign a written Retainer Agreement, which we will provide to you. The Retainer Agreement describes the matter upon which you initially engage this office. You will be charged for professional services and advice pursuant to the Retainer Agreement.

Because of the inherent properties of Internet transmissions, this law firm cannot guarantee the confidentiality of e-mail and/or Online Contact Form submissions. Please do not send any confidential information via email or the Online Contact Form.
