Site terms, privacy, and engagement notices.

This website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not constitute legal advice. Your use of this website does not obligate the office to review, respond to, or accept any matter.

You agree not to submit confidential, privileged, or highly detailed factual information through the website's contact tools unless and until the office has completed a preliminary review and specifically requests additional information.

The office may decline to respond to any inquiry, including because of conflicts, practice fit, capacity, incomplete information, or other reasons. You remain responsible for protecting your own rights, including all deadlines, filing requirements, hearing dates, statutes of limitation, and notice obligations, unless and until the office has expressly agreed in writing to represent you.

This website may contain general descriptions of legal services, industries served, representative topics, educational materials, or commentary. Those materials are general in nature and may not reflect the current state of the law in every respect.

No statement on this website is intended as a guarantee of outcome. Results depend on the facts, evidence, law, procedure, timing, and the conduct of third parties, agencies, tribunals, and opposing parties.

This website is directed primarily to Tennessee legal matters. No representation is made that the materials on this website are appropriate for use in every jurisdiction.

The office may revise these Terms of Use at any time by posting an updated version to this website.

The office uses that information to review potential inquiries, conduct conflict screening, communicate about potential representation, improve website operations, and maintain administrative and compliance records.

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, or detailed substantive information through initial website forms, email, or text message unless the office has specifically requested it after a preliminary review.

The office may use third-party service providers to host the website, process form submissions, provide analytics, manage communications, store data, or process payments. The office seeks to use reasonable safeguards and service providers appropriate under the circumstances, but transmission or storage of information through electronic systems always involves some level of risk.

If online payment or payment-processing services are used, certain information such as your identity and transaction information may be disclosed to the payment processor as part of the transaction.

This website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve website performance, and maintain system functionality. These tools may collect technical, device, or usage information.

Information collected through the website may be retained as part of the office's intake, administrative, compliance, marketing, or business records.

By using this website or submitting information through it, you acknowledge these practices.

When you submit a contact or intake form, this website may also record general first-touch attribution information (such as a campaign or referral parameter present in the URL when you first arrived) and a high-level summary of the public pages you visited during the same browser session. This information is stored only with the lead record you submitted and is used to understand how prospective clients find the office and to prepare for the initial conversation. It is not shared with third parties for marketing.

This website also records a one-way hashed version of your internet protocol (IP) address with each submission. The actual IP address is not stored. The hash is used solely to limit abusive submissions and to indicate when the office has received prior submissions from the same connection.

The information on this website is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice for any specific matter. Every legal issue depends on its own facts, timing, procedural posture, and applicable law.

Viewing this website, using its features, sending an email, submitting a contact form, requesting a consultation, or communicating with the office through this website does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only if and when the office has completed any necessary conflict review, agreed to the representation, and confirmed the engagement on mutually acceptable terms.

Do not send confidential, privileged, detailed, or time-sensitive information through this website, by email, or by text message unless the office has specifically requested that information after a preliminary review.

Any descriptions of prior matters, testimonials, endorsements, representative issues, or practice experience are provided for general informational purposes only. They do not guarantee, predict, or imply a similar result in any other matter.

Unless otherwise stated, this website is intended for Tennessee legal matters and information about legal services provided by a lawyer licensed in Tennessee.

References on this website to business, real estate, brokerage, property management, instructional, or other nonlegal experience are provided for background and informational purposes. To the extent any nonlegal or law-related services are offered through a separate business or entity, those services are not legal services, and the protections of the attorney-client relationship do not apply unless expressly stated in a separate legal engagement.

The office may revise the content of this website and this disclaimer at any time without notice.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Please do not send confidential information, privileged documents, detailed factual narratives, settlement communications, or other sensitive material through the initial contact process. Initial communications are intended only to allow the office to perform a preliminary conflict and fit review.

An attorney-client relationship begins only if and when the office has agreed to undertake the representation and the engagement has been confirmed on mutually acceptable terms.

Until that occurs, you should not assume that the office is representing you, protecting any deadline, monitoring any hearing or filing date, or taking any action on your behalf.

If your matter involves an upcoming deadline, hearing, statute of limitation, notice requirement, or other time-sensitive issue, you remain solely responsible for protecting your rights unless and until the office has expressly agreed in writing to represent you.

The terms in this section apply when an attorney-client relationship has been established between you and the office. An attorney-client relationship begins only after the office has completed conflict review, agreed to undertake the matter, and confirmed the engagement on terms acceptable to both parties — typically through a signed engagement letter or retainer agreement.

Scope of representation. The office's representation is limited to the matters described in your engagement letter. Work outside that scope, including new matters, expanded matters, or substantially different matters, requires a separate engagement.

Fees and billing. Fees are described in the engagement letter and are billed on the schedule set out there. Reasonable costs and disbursements (filing fees, deposition costs, expert fees, courier fees, and similar third-party charges) are billed separately. The office may suspend or withdraw from representation if invoices are not paid as agreed.

Communication. The office will keep you reasonably informed about the status of your matter and respond to reasonable requests for information. Routine email communications are appropriate for non-time-sensitive matters; please call the office for anything urgent.

Confidentiality. Information you share in connection with the representation is treated as confidential consistent with applicable rules of professional conduct, except where the rules require or permit disclosure.

File retention. After the matter concludes, the office retains client files according to its standard retention practices and applicable rules. You are entitled to a copy of any documents you provided. The office may dispose of the file after the retention period without further notice.

Termination. You may terminate the representation at any time by written notice. The office may withdraw consistent with applicable rules. On termination, fees and costs incurred through the date of termination remain payable.

Tennessee jurisdiction. The representation is governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee and by the Tennessee Rules of Professional Conduct. Any dispute about fees or services is subject to applicable Tennessee dispute-resolution procedures.

Site Terms continue to apply. Your use of this website remains subject to the Site Terms section above for as long as you interact with this website, whether or not you are a client of the office.
