No Attorney-Client Relationship; Submissions Are Not Confidential
Submitting information through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship with Shifrin Legal. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when a written engagement agreement is signed.
Information submitted through the Site's forms or tools is not confidential and is not protected by the attorney-client privilege. We may review submissions to check for conflicts of interest before responding. Please do not send sensitive or confidential details about a legal matter until we have confirmed in writing that we can represent you.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, and as required by applicable law and our professional obligations as a law firm. Newsletter subscription information is retained until you unsubscribe.
