Providing Personal Information to us through Marketing or our Site does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Rather, an attorney-client relationship is established only if you and we, together, agree to and execute an appropriate client engagement letter.

Document Retention & Destruction Policy
Updated: January 20, 2026
This policy addresses how we organize, retain and destroy client information while providing legal services to our clients. We will maintain a client file for matters where we are engaged as counsel for you. At the conclusion of a matter, or upon termination of our representation of you, we will return personal property and original documents to you as appropriate, dispose of materials in the file whose preservation we deem unnecessary, convert remaining paper documents to digital form where practical, and assign to the file a “Retention Period” of a length deemed reasonable for the general subject matter of the representation. The Retention Period may be as short as seven years from the date the matter is concluded or we send you our final invoice. We will store the file during the Retention Period, after which we will destroy it without further notice. Should you wish to receive a copy of your file, please notify us before the applicable Retention Period has elapsed. If you would like us to retain your file for a period longer than those provided by this policy, please notify us accordingly. This policy is subject to modification from time to time without further notice.
