Website Disclaimer

General Information Only

Website content is provided for general informational purposes.

It is not legal advice and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice concerning a specific matter.

Legal rights, obligations, procedures, deadlines, defenses, and available remedies depend on the jurisdiction, facts, parties, evidence, and current law. Information that is accurate in one matter may not apply to another.

Website content may not reflect the most recent legal development or address every exception, qualification, or procedural requirement.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Viewing the website, submitting a contact inquiry, sending an email, calling the office, scheduling an appointment, paying an appointment fee, or attending a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship begins only after:

1. The firm has reviewed the proposed matter;
2. The firm has completed a conflict check; and
3. Both the firm and the prospective client have signed a written engagement agreement.

Do not assume that the firm represents you unless all three steps have occurred.

The 60 Minute Strategy Session, if accepted, is a limited-scope engagement governed by its own written agreement. It does not create ongoing representation after the session ends.

A preliminary discussion, request for information, document review, fee payment, or statement that the firm is considering the matter does not constitute acceptance of the representation.

Confidential, Sensitive, and Unsolicited Information

Do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the public Contact form or scheduling notes.

Do not send documents unless the firm provides appropriate delivery instructions.

Before an attorney-client relationship begins, provide only the limited information requested for preliminary conflict and intake review.

Receiving information does not mean that the firm has accepted the matter or agreed to represent you. Unsolicited information may also affect the firm’s ability to represent another person involved in the matter.

Deadlines and Urgent Matters

Do not rely on:

• Website content
• A Contact-form submission
• An email
• A voicemail
• An appointment request
• A scheduled future appointment
• A pending conflict check
• A request from the firm for additional information

to preserve a legal right or deadline.

Court, administrative, licensing, contractual, insurance, notice, limitation, and other deadlines may apply before the firm reviews or responds to an inquiry.

If a deadline may apply, call the office promptly at (470) 561-5612.

The website is not an emergency-response service, and the firm does not guarantee that an inquiry, email, or voicemail will be reviewed before an applicable deadline.

No Guarantee of Results

No lawyer can guarantee the result of a legal matter.

Descriptions of the firm’s services, experience, current matters, prior matters, representative matters, settlements, verdicts, dismissals, reductions, or other outcomes do not guarantee a similar result.

Every matter depends on its own:

• Facts
• Evidence
• Applicable law
• Procedural posture
• Opposing parties and counsel
• Witnesses
• Decision-makers
• Available insurance or assets
• Client objectives
• Other circumstances

Past performance does not predict or guarantee a future outcome.

Testimonials and Reviews

Each matter is different. Testimonials and reviews reflect individual experiences.

They do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter.

A testimonial may address communication, professionalism, service, or the reviewer’s personal impressions without describing every aspect of the representation or the result.

The publication of a testimonial does not mean that the firm accepts every matter resembling the reviewer’s matter.

Representative Matters

Descriptions of current or prior matters are provided for general information.

A matter description may be shortened or anonymized to protect confidentiality. It may not include every fact, issue, claim, defense, procedural development, or outcome.

Each matter depends on its own facts, evidence, law, opposing parties, and other circumstances. Prior matters and results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Practice Descriptions

Descriptions of practice areas identify types of matters the firm handles or considers.

They do not mean that:

• The firm accepts every matter within a described category
• The firm represents every type of client or claim
• The firm is available in every jurisdiction
• A particular legal claim, defense, or remedy applies
• A described service is appropriate for a particular matter
• The firm has agreed to represent a website visitor
• The attorney is certified as a specialist

The firm evaluates each proposed matter individually.

Attorney Qualifications and Court Admissions

Enoch P. Hicks is admitted to practice in the jurisdictions and courts identified on the Attorney Biography page.

References to matters in another jurisdiction do not imply permanent admission in that jurisdiction.

Representation outside the attorney’s existing admissions may require:

• Pro hac vice admission
• Association with local counsel
• Referral to another attorney
• Another legally permitted arrangement

The website is not intended to solicit or provide representation in a jurisdiction where the communication or representation would violate applicable professional rules.

No Professional or Technical Advice Outside the Engagement

Website content should not be treated as accounting, tax, financial, insurance, medical, engineering, architectural, or other nonlegal professional advice.

Some legal matters require assistance from professionals in other disciplines. Website discussion of those subjects does not mean that the firm provides those professional services.

External Links

The website may contain links to external scheduling, directions, court, government, professional, informational, or other resources.

External links are provided for convenience or reference.

The firm does not control an external website’s:

• Content
• Accuracy
• Availability
• Privacy practices
• Security practices
• Cookie practices
• Products
• Services
• Terms

An external link does not necessarily indicate affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement.

Review an external service’s terms and policies before providing information through that service.

Website Accuracy and Availability

The firm attempts to maintain accurate and useful website content but does not guarantee that every page will always be:

• Complete
• Current
• Available
• Free from error
• Appropriate for a particular matter

The website may be revised, corrected, suspended, or removed without notice.

Do not rely on a website error, outdated page, broken link, or unavailable service to determine or preserve a deadline.

Electronic Communications

Internet and email communications may be:

• Delayed
• Intercepted
• Misdirected
• Corrupted
• Incomplete
• Accessed by unintended recipients

Do not use the public website or ordinary email to send highly sensitive information unless the firm provides appropriate delivery instructions.

The firm does not guarantee that an electronic communication will be received, reviewed, or answered within a particular period.

Website Security

The firm uses reasonable safeguards appropriate to the website and the information it collects.

No website, Internet transmission, email system, or electronic-storage method can guarantee complete security.

Use of the website is subject to the risks inherent in Internet communications.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the firm’s original website text, branding, graphics, design elements, and other firm-created content are owned by The Law Office of Enoch P. Hicks, LLC or used with permission.

Website content may not be copied, republished, distributed, or presented in a manner that falsely suggests:

• The firm’s authorization
• An attorney-client relationship
• Affiliation with the firm
• Endorsement by the firm
• Participation by the firm

Lawful linking, citation, commentary, and limited quotation do not imply endorsement.

Third-party names, marks, and content remain the property of their respective owners.

Changes to This Disclaimer

The firm may revise this Website Disclaimer as the website, services, law, or applicable professional requirements change.

The effective date at the top of the page will be updated when the Disclaimer is revised.
