No Attorney-Client Relationship Formed.
Much of the information on this Site is legal in nature. However, the information and materials contained on this Site (collectively the “Material”) are provided for educational purposes only, and should not be construed as legal advice or offering a legal opinion, on any subject matter.
No recipient of the Material from this Site (client or otherwise) should act or refrain from acting on the basis of any Material they’ve seen or read on the Site, without first seeking appropriate legal or other professional advice from an attorney licensed in the recipient's state.
Information sent to this Site or the Owner, via the Internet, e-mail, any 3rd party site (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), is not deemed secure. You provide such information to us on a non-confidential basis, therefore no attorney-client relationship is established between you and either the Site or the Owner.
Transmission of Information.
If you would like engage the Owner for legal assistance and counsel, the best way to initiate a discussion about representation is to call Mr. Hall at (415) 828-1408. It is important that we not create a conflict of interest between you and any of our current or past clients. This protects both you and them. Therefore, under no circumstance should you provide us with information pertaining to a matter without first speaking to Attorney Robert P. Hall, Jr. and receiving confirmation that the appropriate conflict checks have been cleared and Mr. Hall determines that it is otherwise able to accept the engagement.
If you email or otherwise provide information, materials or documents prior to your receipt of such confirmation and an appropriate engagement, we may not be able to treat that information as privileged, confidential or protected information. In addition, we can represent a party adverse to you, so long as you agree in writing to the appropriate waivers.
Limitation of Liability.
Regarding any Material on this Site, the Owner expressly and explicitly disclaims any and all liability, in respect to actions taken or not taken based on the Material.
Although the Owner makes reasonable effort to keep the Material current and updated, there are no guarantees, as the law changes quickly. For that reason, the Material may not reflect current legal developments. Therefore, you should not act upon any Material found on this Site without first seeking professional counsel. The Owner makes no warranties, representations, or claims of any kind with respect to any of the information on this Site, including without limitation the accuracy, completeness and suitability for any purpose of this information. Under no circumstance shall the Owner be liable to you or anyone else, as a result of damages from your access or use of Material on this Site.
