  1. Legal Disclaimers:
    1. No Legal Advice: The Information is made available for general informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for advice from qualified counsel. Each situation is different and reliance upon general information in making decisions is not recommended. You should not act, or refrain from acting, or otherwise rely upon any Information on the Schatt Law Site and should seek the specific advice of an attorney before taking any action.
    2. No Attorney-Client Relationship: You agree that Your access of the Schatt Law Site or receipt of the Information, or Your transmission of electronic mail to addresses on the Schatt Law Site, does not create an attorney-client relationship between You and Schatt Law. If You are not a current client of Schatt Law and You communicate with us through the Schatt Law Site, Your communication may not be treated as privileged or confidential. Schatt Law has a policy of entering into attorney-client relationships with its clients only in accordance with certain procedures which include executing an engagement letter and addressing any and all potential or actual professional responsibility conflicts as required by the applicable Bar Associations.
  2. Advertising Notice: The Schatt Law Site is not intended to be an advertisement or solicitation, but may be deemed an ADVERTISEMENT in certain jurisdictions. Through the Schatt Law Site, Schatt Law does not seek to be retained by anyone in a state where the Schatt Law Site may fail to comply with all laws and ethical rules of that state. Before making Your choice of attorney, You should give this matter careful thought. The selection of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon written information about our qualifications and experience. Schatt Law has endeavored to comply with all known legal and ethical requirements in compiling the Schatt Law site. Schatt Law does not desire to represent clients based upon their review of any portions of the Schatt Law site that do not comply with legal or ethical requirements.
  3. Jurisdictional Issues: You agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Schatt Law Site or these Notices and Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without reference to conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, and You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Marion County, Florida. In the event that You gain access to information not intended to be accessed by You, You agree that You will immediately notify Schatt Law and lawfully destroy all copies of such information in Your possession. Schatt Law may be contacted at service@SchattLaw.com.
  4. Sensitive Communications: You agree that electronic mail sent by You to Schatt Law will not be treated as confidential or invoke an attorney-client privilege; provided, however, that if You are an existing client of Schatt Law and You send an electronic mail to Schatt Law pertaining to a matter in which Schatt Law then represents You, such electronic mail may be entitled to be treated as confidential or privileged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You acknowledge that electronic mail and the Internet are generally insecure media of communication, and Schatt Law cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any electronic mail sent to or received by it or any information submitted by You to Schat Law through the Schatt Law Site.
