NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

This Site and the materials on this Site have been prepared by Hilgers Graben for informational purposes.

We cannot represent you until we know that doing so will not create a conflict of interest. Accordingly, do not use any of the supplied e-mail interfaces to send us any confidential information until you speak with one of our attorneys and receive our authorization to send that information to us. Internet subscribers and online readers should not act upon any information in the Site without first consulting legal counsel of their own directly. The information in the Site is not provided in the course of an attorney-client relationship and is not intended to constitute legal advice or to substitute for obtaining legal advice from an attorney licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction.
