The telephone numbers and other contact information for our offices are listed on our Website. If you submit information to us by email or otherwise, you acknowledge that it will not be considered to be confidential absent an express written agreement by Lavelle Law to maintain your information in confidence. We reserve the right to decline any representation, and may be required to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with any of our current or former clients.

The outcome of each legal case depends upon many factors, including the facts of the case, and no attorney can guarantee a positive result in any particular case. Any testimonial or endorsement does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
