IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICES AND DISCLAIMERS
2.1 No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your access to, use of, or communication through the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Braver Law.
Viewing Website content, downloading materials, submitting forms, participating in chat features, sending emails, transmitting text messages, subscribing to communications, requesting information, or otherwise interacting with the Website does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a written engagement agreement executed by both the Firm and the client.
Until such an agreement has been executed, Braver Law does not undertake any duty to provide legal advice, preserve claims, investigate matters, monitor deadlines, protect legal rights, or represent your interests.
2.2 No Confidentiality Prior to Engagement; Prospective Client Disclosures
If you are not already represented by Braver Law pursuant to a written engagement agreement, you should not submit confidential, proprietary, privileged, trade secret, sensitive, or otherwise protected information through the Website or through any electronic communication with the Firm.
Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged and may be reviewed by attorneys, legal assistants, intake personnel, administrative personnel, consultants, experts, vendors, technology providers, co-counsel, referral counsel, and other persons assisting the Firm in evaluating potential claims, conflicts of interest, referrals, or possible representation.
You acknowledge and agree that submission of information to Braver Law prior to the formation of an attorney-client relationship does not obligate the Firm to represent you, does not create any duty of loyalty, does not create any duty to provide legal advice, and does not prevent the Firm from declining representation.
You further acknowledge and agree that the firm, their attorneys, affiliates, co-counsel, referral counsel, and associated law firms may represent clients whose interests are adverse to yours in matters that are unrelated to your inquiry, subject to applicable law and rules of professional conduct.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that the Firm’s receipt and review of information submitted through the Website for purposes of evaluating a potential representation, conflict check, referral, or case assessment shall not, by itself, preclude the Firm or its attorneys from representing a party adverse to you in a matter where such information may be relevant, unless otherwise required by applicable law or rules of professional conduct.
The Firm reserves the right to decline representation for any lawful reason, including conflicts of interest, jurisdictional limitations, case selection criteria, resource limitations, strategic considerations, business considerations, or professional judgment.
Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to waive any duties imposed upon the Firm by applicable law or rules of professional conduct.
2.3 No Legal, Medical, Financial, or Professional Advice
The Website and all Content are provided solely for general informational and educational purposes.
Nothing contained on the Website constitutes legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, tax advice, insurance advice, investment advice, or any other form of professional advice.
You should consult directly with qualified professionals regarding your specific circumstances before taking or refraining from taking any action based upon information obtained through the Website.
2.4 Co-Counsel and Referral Relationships
Braver Law may associate with, refer matters to, accept referrals from, collaborate with, or jointly represent clients with attorneys and law firms located throughout the United States.
Information submitted to the Firm may be shared with co-counsel, referral counsel, consultants, experts, vendors, and service providers as reasonably necessary to evaluate claims, assess representation, prosecute matters, administer cases, or provide legal services.
Any fee-sharing arrangements shall comply with applicable law and rules of professional conduct and shall not increase the fee payable by the client beyond the amount agreed upon in the applicable engagement agreement.
2.5 Consumer Communications
To ensure quality assurance, training, compliance, and accurate handling of inquiries, telephone calls, video calls, chats, text messages, and other communications between you and the firm, their affiliates, agents, employees, contractors, intake personnel, case managers, legal assistants, and attorneys may be monitored, recorded, transcribed, reviewed, stored, and analyzed.
By communicating with the Firm, you consent to such monitoring, recording, transcription, storage, and review to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Firm may contact you by telephone, email, text message (SMS), automated technology, prerecorded voice messages, artificial voice technology, or other lawful means using the contact information you provide.
2.6 Case Referrals and Lead Distribution
The Firm may evaluate inquiries received through the Website and may refer, transfer, share, or associate such inquiries with co-counsel, referral counsel, local counsel, or other attorneys and law firms for purposes of case evaluation, representation, conflict analysis, or legal services. Submission of information through the Website constitutes consent to such review and sharing, subject to applicable law and the Firm’s Privacy Policy.
2.7 No Duty to Accept Representation
The Firm reserves the right to decline any inquiry, potential claim, or proposed representation for any lawful reason. Submission of information through the Website does not obligate the Firm to investigate, pursue, preserve, or accept any matter and does not toll or extend any statute of limitations or other legal deadline
