This website is operated by Sterling & Hayes Law (the “firm”) for general informational purposes. By accessing this website, you agree to use it only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict the use and enjoyment of, this site by any third party. You agree not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the website, server, or network on which the website is stored.

No Attorney-Client Relationship
Use of this website, including submission of the consultation request form, sending an email, or otherwise communicating with the firm through this website, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after a written engagement agreement has been signed by both you and the firm.
Until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established, you should not share confidential or time-sensitive information through this website. Information you submit before an engagement agreement is in place may not be treated as confidential, and the firm may already represent parties with interests adverse to yours.

The content on this website — including practice area descriptions, attorney biographies, articles, case summaries, and other resources — is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Legal advice depends on the specific facts of your situation, and you should consult a licensed attorney before taking or refraining from any action based on information contained on this website.
The articles and resources on this website are written for a general audience and do not address the specific facts of any particular case. Statutes, regulations, and case law change over time, and the information on this website may not reflect the most current legal developments.
