TERMS OF USE

The McPhillips Law PLLC website provides information as a service to the general public. While the information on this website may concern legal issues, the information is provided merely for educational purposes. You acknowledge and agree that the information provided on this website does not constitute legal advice. The website does not offer legal advice about specific situations or problems. Nothing on this site creates an express or implied contract. McPhillips Law PLLC does not intend to create an attorney-client relationship by inviting you to contact the firm, and an attorney-client relationship is not being formed in any manner by submitting information through this website or by sending an e-mail via the e-mail links on this website. The services of an attorney can only be obtained by entering into an engagement agreement after a conflict of interest check and jurisdiction check has been performed. No such engagement agreement is being entered into by accessing or submitting information via this website.

Please do not send any confidential or sensitive information via this website until you speak with Candice McPhillips and enter into an engagement agreement. Unless and until Candice McPhillips agrees to represent you, she will not have any duties to you, including any duty to keep what you send her confidential or any duty to protect your interests. This means that nothing you send her will be kept confidential, unless mutually agreed that it will be kept confidential. In general, please refrain from sending privileged or confidential information through e-mail at all as the firm is unable to ensure the security of your e-mail. Once you enter into an engagement agreement with the firm to establish an attorney-client relationship, you will be provided with secure access to a client portal site to be used for exchanging communications and other documents. The client portal site is protected by encryption and other industry standard security measures. By sending sensitive or confidential e-mail messages that are not encrypted, you accept the risks of such uncertainty and possible lack of confidentiality inherent in such communications.

Your submission of information through this site is also governed by the Privacy Statement.  Please review the Privacy Statement regarding the collection, protection, use and storage of personal data.

The information and articles on this website are provided as is without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Each individual document published on this website may contain other proprietary notices and copyright information relating to that document.

At times, this website may contain links to other resources on the internet. Those links are provided solely to assist you to find other internet resources that may be useful or informative. The presence of such links on the website are not intended to state or imply that McPhillips Law PLLC sponsors, endorses, recommends, guarantees, is affiliated with, and/or is associated with, such linked sites or the accuracy, reliability or currency of the information found on those sites.

Past legal successes described on this website are not indicators of future results. The outcome of particular legal matters is dependent upon the facts and law applicable to the matters.

McPhillips Law PLLC is a Virginia professional limited liability company. Personal liability of its attorney is limited to the extent allowed by applicable professional rules, regulations and statutory law.  Candice McPhillips is an attorney admitted to practice law in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Arizona, and New York.  However, neither Candice McPhillips nor McPhillips Law PLLC currently practice law in New York or intend to solicit clients from New York; as such, New York is not one of the jurisdictions in which the firm operates or intends to operate.

Professional rules and regulations in some jurisdictions may require McPhillips Law PLLC to designate a “principal office” as well as a lawyer responsible for the contents of this website. Solely for the purpose of these rules, McPhillips Law PLLC designates its office at 1750 Tysons Boulevard, Suite 1500, McLean, Virginia 22102 as its principal office and Candice McPhillips as the lawyer responsible for this website.
