You understand that We only provide legal advice to clients and the only people that are Our clients are people who have a fully executed written legal services agreement with Us.

We never create an attorney-client relationship in any manner other than a written and fully executed legal services agreement.
You agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy. You also agree that We may share any information you submit via email, website forms, telephone, messaging services, browser cookies or pixel image tags with other attorneys for the purposes of securing a potential referral for your case. You agree that if We choose to share your information with an attorney in an attempt to refer your case, that attorney may reach out to you directly via telephone or email. You may ask Us not to refer your potential case and We will not refer it if We have actual knowledge of your no-referral designation. When referring a case, We often receive a portion of attorney fees. When making a referral, We are not commenting on the ability of a particular lawyer or making any specific recommendations other than that lawyer may be willing to handle your matter. You can see a list of firms that commonly handle cases for us by viewing our Privacy Policy.

You also specifically authorize Us to send you marketing messages via text message to the phone number you provide to Us, data rates may apply and you may stop at any time by replying “STOP.”
By submitting information to Us, You are not obligating Us to respond. We receive many phone calls, emails, and messages every day and though We try to send a quick response to all people that contact us, We do not have the capacity to respond to every communication. We will respond to communications, refer them to other attorneys, or delete the communication at Our sole discretion. Lawsuits are often subject to a statute of limitations, and You agree not to rely on Us to preserve your statute of limitations unless You have become a client by fully executed written legal services agreement (and payment of applicable fees). You are encouraged to seek alternative counsel to prevent the expiration of your statute of limitations

YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST US. All Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association according to their rules. We will pay the arbitrator’s fee to the extent that it exceeds the filing fee for a similar case in an appropriate court. Unless otherwise specified herein, to the extent permitted by law, all arbitrations shall take place in either Bellingham, Washington or Chicago, Illinois. Such venue shall be at Our discretion. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
