Disclaimer and Terms of Use

This website, www.attymooney.com (the “website”), is designed to provide general information about The Mooney Firm (“the firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and its mediation and alternative dispute resolution services. The information on this website is not intended to offer legal advice, nor should any action be taken based on the information contained on these web pages or any of their associated links. Laws, rules, and procedures vary by jurisdiction and by the nature of a particular dispute. Contact an attorney or other qualified professional licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before taking any action.

1. No attorney-client relationship; no legal advice

Neither viewing this website nor transmitting information through it creates an attorney-client relationship, a mediator-party relationship, or any other professional relationship, and nothing on this website constitutes legal advice to any person viewing it. The firm serves in a neutral capacity in its mediation and dispute resolution engagements. A mediator does not represent any party to a dispute and does not provide legal advice to any party. If you are seeking legal representation rather than mediation or dispute resolution services, this website does not substitute for consultation with an attorney who represents your individual interests.

You should not act or rely on any information on this site. Each matter is unique, and you should consult directly with a qualified professional to assess your specific situation. You should also be aware that there may be time limitations, filing deadlines, or notice requirements that could affect any potential claim or right you have.

2. Licensure and jurisdiction

The attorney associated with this firm is licensed to practice law in New York State. In some other jurisdictions, this website may be considered advertising. The hiring of an attorney or the retention of a mediator is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisement. Before deciding to retain the firm, you may obtain free information about the firm by visiting this website or by calling 716.932.8566. The firm cannot represent or serve anyone seeking representation or mediation services based solely on viewing this website, in any jurisdiction where doing so would fail to comply with the ethical or professional responsibility rules of that jurisdiction.

3. Electronic communications are not secure

This website is not a secure intake, document, scheduling, or payment system. The general inquiry form, responding communications, and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with this website, including Internet email, may not be secure. You should not send sensitive, confidential, or privileged information through this website or by email unless you know that it is adequately encrypted, and even then, the firm can identify a more appropriate channel if one is needed.

Any communications sent via the Internet, email, text, or SMS message could be intercepted, read, or redirected by persons other than the intended recipient. If you communicate through this website, be advised that the communication may not be considered privileged or confidential.

4. Submitting an inquiry

By submitting the general inquiry form or contacting the firm by other means, you understand and agree to the following: your inquiry may or may not be reviewed by an attorney; you may or may not be contacted by a representative of the firm about the matter; and the submission of your information does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship, a mediator-party relationship, or any obligation on the part of the firm to act on your behalf.

By contacting the firm by telephone, text message, the general inquiry form, or any other means, you consent to being contacted in response by any practical means, including by telephone at the number you provided or by a return call left as a voice message. You also consent to the firm contacting you by other means in response to your inquiry. Such communications may be sent by unsecure means.

Not all inquiries are responded to or accepted as engagements. The firm cannot serve as your legal representative or as a mediator in any matter unless you and the firm expressly agree in writing to the scope of the engagement. You should assume that the firm does not represent you and is taking no action on your behalf to protect your rights or interests unless you have signed a written agreement with the firm and, thereafter, received written confirmation from the firm that it is handling your matter.

5. No warranty; no guarantee of outcome

While reasonable steps have been taken to help ensure the accuracy of the information on this website, the firm does not make any express or implied representation or warranty about the accuracy or completeness of the information on this website or any associated links. Prior outcomes in mediation or other matters depend on the facts and circumstances of each case and do not guarantee a similar outcome in any other matter.

6. Website availability

The content of this website is not guaranteed to be available at all times. Routine maintenance or other circumstances may make the website unavailable to users for a period of time.

7. Governing law

This notice and your use of the website are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

8. Copyright

All text and graphics, the selection, arrangement, and presentation of all materials on this website, and the overall design of this website are the property of The Mooney Firm.
