While I am happy to have you contact me by telephone, surface mail, or email, merely communicating with me does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only established by an agreement between you and me that I will handle a particular matter. Please do not convey to me any information that you regard as confidential until an attorney-client relationship has been established. Any information I receive from you prior to the formal establishment of such a relationship may not be confidential.
