TERMS OF SERVICE, PRIVACY POLICY & LEGAL DISCLAIMER

Note: please read all of this information very carefully; it’s very important

 

Disclaimer of Website Information

The information provided on this website is extremely general and is offered purely for informational purposes. It is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship.  Nothing on this website should be relied upon as legal advice and is not a substitution for proper legal advice.

We do not promise or guarantee that the information is correct, complete or up-to-date, and no one should act based upon this information without seeking a legal advice from a qualified attorney.

The transmission of information from this or any website or social media account under the control of RM Warner, PLC is not intended to create, and its receipt does not constitute, an attorney-client relationship with RM Warner, PLC or any of its attorneys.

 

Eighteen Years of Age Requirement
If you are under the age of eighteen, please do not contact us or provide us with any information.  While we understand that people under the age of eighteen may need legal representation, please have your parent or guardian contact us on your behalf.

 

Formation of Attorney-Client Relationship

No attorney-client relationship is formed until the firm has expressly agreed to represent you in writing, and you have received written confirmation of that fact from an authorized agent of the firm.  The fact that the firm has simply agreed to do an initial consultation is not the same thing as agreeing to represent you.  The firm’s agreement to represent you may only be provided to you in writing.

However, by attempting to schedule a consultation or submitting any information through our website or social media pages, you are affirmatively agreeing to these Terms of Service, Privacy Policy & Legal Disclaimer (collectively, “Terms”).  If you do not wish to be bound by our Terms, you are not permitted to submit any information to us.   

 

Written Payment Terms and Fee Agreements

All litigation matters require a signed fee agreement and are considered binding legal contracts.  Although the firm does not require signed fee agreements for pre-litigation matters or transactional matters, clients are provided with invoices that contain standard payment terms before any work is performed.  We will not begin working on any case until payment of the required fee is received (with the only limited exception being a contingent fee case).  By making payment, you are agreeing to be bound by the payment terms contained in the applicable invoice.  If someone at the firm has agreed to perform legal work for you without sending you written confirmation of the same and/or without receiving payment, please ask to speak with one of the firm’s partners immediately.

 

No Guarantees –EVER!

No attorney, agent or employee will ever guarantee or promise you anything – especially results.  Other than trying to do our best, we simply can’t promise or guarantee anything because we cannot control third parties, including large companies like Google, judges, or juries.  If you think an attorney, agent or employee has promised you something or guaranteed a particular result or outcome, please notify the person who made this promise to you in writing immediately and ask the person to have one of the partners at the firm contact you.  To ensure that this is beyond clear, we have gone out of our way to put this on our website, as well as in our fee agreements, etc. 

Attorney Licensing

RM Warner, PLC is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, and the firm’s attorneys are licensed to practice law in Arizona only, unless specifically noted under a specific attorney’s website profile. However, given the Internet, we are a global society today, without borders.  And to the extent it becomes necessary to have local counsel in your area assist us, we have formed relationships with many firms in many different states and countries.

 

Prohibited Inquiries or Submissions

You represent and warrant that you are not submitting or otherwise using our website for any illegal, malicious or improper purpose, including, but not limiting, harassment, impersonation, or causing any loss of data or system function.  

 

Choice of Law, Forum Selection and Fees

By attempting to schedule a consultation or submitting any information through our website, you are affirmatively agreeing that any and all disputes between RM Warner, PLC (including any agent thereof) and you shall be resolved by litigation in the Maricopa County Superior Court, located in the State of Arizona USA, Maricopa County, and that you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any jurisdictional or venue defenses available for any and all disputes, whether the dispute sounds in tort, contract, or otherwise. You also agree that Arizona law will apply, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event of any dispute between you and RM Warner Law, PLC, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party, as part of the prevailing party’s costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the amount of which shall be made a part of any award or judgment rendered.

 

Privacy Policy

Our ethical rules and regulations govern how may use your information. By submitting your personal information to us, you agree that we may use your information to the extent permitted by our ethical rules and regulations.  In addition to using your information for the intended purpose for which you have provided, you agree that we may use it to provide you with additional information in the future that we deem to be of interest to you. RM Warner, PLC does not sell your personal information to third parties. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that we may retain your personal information indefinitely given that such information may be needed to ensure compliance with our ethical or other legal obligations.

Our website, as well as all of our client information, resides on computers located in the United States. We maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your personal information. However, we do not guarantee that these measures will be sufficient to protect against all efforts to gain unauthorized access to that information. We also have no responsibility or control over the security of any transmission method you may use to send us your information. If you are concerned about the potential risk involved in maintaining the security of your personal information when adding it to our website, allowing us to store it on our servers or when transmitting that information, please do not submit it to us.
