Legal matters are often complex and subject to change, and the information provided may not reflect the most recent legal developments or interpretations. Furthermore, laws vary from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and the information presented on our site may not be applicable to your specific situation or case. Therefore, you should not act or rely on any information found on this Site without seeking the advice of a qualified legal professional. Your use of this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Dufault Law, LLC. If you have specific legal questions or require advice regarding your situation, we encourage you to contact us directly to discuss your concerns with one of our qualified attorneys. Please keep in mind that any communication sent through this Site or via email may not be secure and could be intercepted.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dufault Law, LLC, its affiliates, employees, agents, and representatives shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, this website or any information, materials, or services provided herein. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the operation of this Site, the accuracy of the information contained herein, or any products or services offered through the website. Your use of the Site is at your own risk, and we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall Dufault Law, LLC be liable for any errors or omissions in the information provided on this Site or for any losses, injuries, or damages arising from your reliance on any information contained on this site. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Site or with any of these Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Site.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

The use of this Site and any communication through it does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Dufault Law, LLC. An attorney-client relationship is only established when both parties mutually agree to enter into such a relationship, typically through a signed retainer agreement or similar document.

While we welcome inquiries and are happy to provide information about our services, you should be aware that any information you send to us through this Site may not be treated as confidential. Until you have formally engaged our services, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communications, and we advise against sending sensitive or personal information via email or through any contact forms available on the Site.

To establish an attorney-client relationship, it is essential that you consult directly with an attorney from our firm. During that consultation, we can discuss your specific legal needs, provide tailored advice, and determine if we are able to represent you in your matter. Our acceptance of any case is subject to our standard conflict of interest checks and other internal policies. Therefore, we cannot guarantee representation until you have received a confirmation from us in writing. If you are in need of immediate legal assistance, we recommend that you reach out to us directly by phone or schedule an in-person consultation to discuss your case. Your rights may be affected by the passage of time, and we want to ensure that you receive timely and effective legal advice.

Confidentiality

At Dufault Law, LLC, we understand the importance of confidentiality in the attorney-client relationship. While we are committed to protecting your privacy, it is crucial to recognize that any information you send to us through this Site or via email may not be secure. Consequently, we advise against sharing sensitive personal information or confidential details through these channels.

Confidentiality is a fundamental principle in our practice, and once an attorney-client relationship is established, we are obligated to keep your information private and secure. This confidentiality extends to all communications regarding your case, and we take extensive measures to safeguard your data in compliance with applicable laws and ethical standards.

However, until you have formally engaged our services, we cannot guarantee that communications will be treated as confidential. The establishment of an attorney-client relationship typically requires a signed retainer agreement or similar document. Until that point, any information shared may not be protected.
For matters that require immediate attention or involve sensitive information, we encourage you to reach out to us directly by phone or schedule an in-person consultation. This will allow us to discuss your situation in a secure and confidential environment, ensuring that your rights and interests are fully protected.

Past Results Do Not Guarantee Future Outcomes

The outcomes of legal cases can vary significantly based on a multitude of factors, including the specifics of each case, the applicable laws, and the unique circumstances surrounding individual clients. As such, any past results or case outcomes shared on this Site are not indicative of future results in any other legal matter.

While we are proud of our track record and the favorable results we have achieved for our clients, it is important to understand that each case is distinct. The legal landscape is constantly evolving, and what may have worked in one case may not necessarily apply to another. Factors such as changes in law, jurisdictional differences, and the unique aspects of your situation can all influence the outcome of a case.

We encourage potential clients to consider this variability when evaluating our services and the information presented on our Site. While we strive to provide effective legal representation and achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients, we cannot guarantee specific results. It is essential to approach each legal matter with a clear understanding of its individual complexities and to seek personalized legal advice tailored to your specific situation. Consulting directly with an attorney from our firm will allow us to assess your case and provide guidance based on the current legal environment and relevant factors.

No Guarantees of Results

Dufault Law, LLC does not guarantee any specific results or outcomes in any legal matter. The practice of law involves numerous variables, and the success of a case can depend on many factors, including the facts of each case, the applicable law, the evidence presented, and the actions of opposing parties.

While we work diligently to advocate for our clients and strive for favorable outcomes, the nature of legal proceedings means that there are no certainties. Previous results achieved in other cases do not imply or guarantee that similar results will be attained in your case. Each legal matter is unique, and the outcomes can differ based on individual circumstances.

We encourage clients and potential clients to understand that engaging our services does not assure a particular outcome. The legal process can be unpredictable, and various factors can influence how a case progresses and resolves. For personalized guidance and to better understand the potential outcomes related to your specific situation, we recommend consulting directly with one of our attorneys. This will allow us to evaluate the unique aspects of your case and provide advice tailored to your individual legal needs.
