01No Attorney-Client Relationship

Choosing to take action is a powerful step. However, browsing this website, sending us an email, or completing our online intake form does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when you and our firm formally execute a written retainer or representation agreement.

Because we do not represent you yet, we are not responsible for tracking your legal deadlines, including your statute of limitations. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any information found on this website.

02Strict Intake Confidentiality & Privilege

We handle deeply sensitive matters involving civil rights, employment discrimination, and sexual misconduct. We treat every intake submission as strictly confidential. Any information you share with us through our contact or intake forms while seeking legal representation is protected by the attorney-client privilege to the fullest extent of New York law, even if we ultimately decide we cannot take your case.

⚠ Critical Privacy Warning: To protect your information from employer monitoring or forensic discovery, do not use an employer-issued device, work email address, or company-owned network to view this site or contact our firm.
