No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of this website, submission of a contact form, sending an email, or leaving a voicemail does not create an attorney-client relationship with Shapiro Thomas PLLC or any of its attorneys. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after conflict review and a written engagement agreement signed by both sides.

Until an engagement is in place, communications sent through this website or by email may not be treated as privileged or confidential. Do not include sensitive, privileged, or confidential information in any initial inquiry.

Not Legal Advice

Information on this website, including descriptions of practice areas, attorney biographies, frequently asked questions, and program descriptions, is general in nature. Laws change, procedures vary, and outcomes depend on the specific facts. Consult qualified counsel about your own situation before taking or refraining from action.
