Please read it carefully.
The materials found on this website have been prepared by The Sarnacki Law Firm PLC, a Michigan professional limited liability company, for informational purposes only and are not legal advice. The contents of this Web site should not be construed as legal advice on any specific facts or circumstances. In some states, this website may be deemed an advertisement.
No Attorney-Client Relationship Created by Use of this Website. Neither your receipt of information from this website, nor your use of this website to contact Sarnacki Law (hereinafter “the Firm”) or one of its attorneys creates an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. You will become a client of the Firm only if and when you sign an engagement agreement setting forth the scope of the Firm’s engagement and other relevant matters. As a matter of policy, the Firm does not accept a new client without first investigating for possible conflicts of interests and obtaining a signed engagement letter. (The Firm may, for example, already represent another party involved in your matter.)
No Confidentiality. You should not use this website to provide confidential information about a legal matter of yours to the Firm. Your use of this website does not make you a client of the firm or even a prospective client of the Firm. If you have confidential information that you would like to give to any lawyer at the Firm, please communicate with one of the Firm’s lawyers in person or by telephone–not by filling in any form on this website or by sending an unsolicited email to the Firm or any of its lawyers.
No Legal Advice Intended. This website includes general information about legal issues and developments in the law. Such materials are for informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current legal developments. These informational materials are not intended, and should not be taken, as legal advice on any particular set of facts or circumstances. You should contact a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction for advice on specific legal problems.
Photographs. This website contains photographs of Firm lawyers, employees and/or clients. Some images may be dramatizations or stock photos of clients to maintain privacy and confidentiality. See Michigan Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1.
No Guarantee of Results. Some of the case summaries, reports of past results and individual lawyer biographies on this website describe past matters handled for clients of the Firm. These descriptions are meant only to provide information about the activities and experience of our lawyers. They are not intended as a guarantee that the same or similar results can be obtained in every matter undertaken by our lawyers. You should not assume that a similar result can be obtained in a legal matter of interest to you. Litigation is inherently uncertain. The outcome of a particular matter can depend on a variety of factors—including the specific factual and legal circumstances, the ability of opposing counsel, and, often, unexpected developments beyond the control of any client or lawyer.

This site and the materials may be incorrect, out of date, inappropriate for any particular transaction, and may contain “bugs,” errors, problems, defects, or other limitations.

The Firm expressly hereby disclaims all warranties, express, implied or statutory of any kind.
You expressly agree that use of this Website is at your sole risk.
