Operation of this Web site is not intended to create, and will not create, an attorney-client relationship with you.

The formation of an attorney-client relationship requires prior satisfaction of multiple factors including resolution of possible conflicts of interest, an appropriate fee arrangement, and mutual agreement on the terms of the engagement. Please do not convey to us any information you regard as confidential until a formal attorney-client relationship has been established. Any information you convey to Adam Grodman via the Internet may not be secure, and information conveyed prior to establishing an attorney-client relationship may not be privileged or confidential.
