These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Stopa & Associates, LLC (“Stopa & Associates,” “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including the content, features, communications, and services available through the website (collectively, the “Website”).
These Terms also include the terms applicable to SMS/text messages sent by Stopa & Associates.
Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.
The materials and information provided on this Website are for general informational purposes only.
Nothing on this Website constitutes legal advice.
The information provided on the Website may not reflect the most current legal developments and may not apply to your particular circumstances. Laws, regulations, court decisions, and legal standards change over time and may vary depending on the applicable jurisdiction and specific facts.
You should not act, or refrain from acting, based on information contained on this Website without obtaining advice from a qualified attorney regarding your particular circumstances.
Your access to or use of this Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Stopa & Associates.
Similarly, submitting a contact form, sending an email or text message, calling the Firm, or otherwise contacting us does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is established only after Stopa & Associates has determined that it is able and willing to accept the engagement, including completion of any appropriate conflict review, and the Firm and prospective client have entered into an appropriate engagement arrangement.
You should not rely on the submission of a Website inquiry, email, or text message as confirmation that the Firm has agreed to represent you.
Unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been established, you remain responsible for protecting your legal rights, complying with applicable deadlines, and obtaining legal representation where appropriate.
Please do not send confidential, highly sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the Website or by unsolicited text message unless specifically requested by an attorney at Stopa & Associates.
Information submitted through a contact form or other Website feature may be transmitted through and stored on systems operated by third-party technology providers, including our website hosting provider.
Submitting information through the Website or by text message does not, by itself, guarantee that the information will be protected by the attorney-client privilege.
If you are already a client of Stopa & Associates, the Firm's professional obligations concerning client confidentiality and attorney-client privilege apply independently of these Terms.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive, limit, or modify any duty of confidentiality imposed on Stopa & Associates by applicable law, the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct, or an established attorney-client relationship.
