ATTORNEY ADVERTISING

ATTORNEY ADVERTISING. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

This disclaimer contains vital information about this website. Please read it carefully. This website has general information about our law firms, but it and any other information we send you is not legal advice. We are not offering to provide you with legal representation through this website.

Neither your use of this website nor any e-mail you send to any of our lawyers will create an attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship can be formed only through a personal conversation between you and one of our lawyers, after a thorough screening for potential conflicts that we might have. You will only become a client of Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise if and when you sign an agreement setting forth the scope of Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise’s engagement and other relevant matters.  If these materials are inconsistent with the rules governing attorney communications in a particular jurisdiction, and the materials result in a client contact in such jurisdiction, Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise may be prohibited from assuming representation of the client contact.

This site contains only information and not legal advice. The information on this website is for informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current legal developments. Nothing on this site is a solicitation to represent you. Nothing on this site suggests that you need or do not need legal services. No attorney-client relationship is created by the information at this website. You should not take any action or decline to take any action concerning a legal matter based on the information on this website without first obtaining the advice of a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction.

Do not send us any information or materials you consider to be confidential without first obtaining a statement from us in writing that we represent you, as well as the authorization by one of our lawyers to send us the information. We will not treat any information you send us as confidential without an express written statement and authorization from our law firm. Your use of this website does not make you a client or prospective client of Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise.

The materials on this Website may not reflect the most current legal developments, verdicts or settlements, and should not be considered an indication of future results. We have included information on this website about matters we have handled for our clients, and in some cases, information about money judgments or other outcomes we have obtained. Information of this sort is not a guarantee or prediction of results in matters that we may handle in the future because all matters, clients, and circumstances are unique.

The inclusion of prior matters and prior results are meant only to provide information about the experience of our lawyers.

You can find information about the jurisdictions in which our lawyers are licensed to practice in the “Attorneys” section of this website. The ability of any lawyer to engage in any activities for a client outside that lawyer’s states of licensure is subject to state statutes, professional codes, and court rules.  Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise does not seek, and this website is not intended to solicit, legal engagement in jurisdictions outside our lawyers’ states of licensure when that engagement would constitute the unauthorized practice of law in any jurisdiction.

Unless a lawyer’s biography explicitly states otherwise, no lawyer makes a claim of “expertise,” “specialization,” or “board certification.” Unless explicitly noted in a lawyer’s biography, no lawyer is certified or recognized as a specialist or an expert in any area of law, and they are not licensed to practice law in any state except the state in which they actually reside. The descriptions of our lawyers and our firm’s areas of practice do not state or imply that our lawyers hold certifications or are specialists or experts in any particular areas of law.

We handle cases in our practice areas in most states. However, our firm’s lawyers are not admitted to practice law in every state. In those jurisdictions in which our firm’s lawyers are not admitted to practice, we will associate with co-counsel from the relevant jurisdiction who actively participate in both the investigation and prosecution of any potential claims, as per the requirements of each such jurisdiction, at no additional cost to our clients, to assist with the matter. In cases in which we associate with local co-counsel, we will typically act as primary counsel and the local co-counsel will actively participate. Unless it is expressly stated on a particular page of this website, Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise intends to act as primary counsel in representing clients. Occasionally, it is possible that our co-counsel will take the leading role. Whenever that is the case, we will obtain the client’s advance, written permission.

In accordance with Internal Revenue Service requirements, any information on this website that could be construed as United States tax advice is not written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed on this website.

The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions.  Individuals in need of an attorney should not make such determination and choice solely based upon advertisements, certification, specialization or self-proclaimed expertise.
