DISCLAIMER:

Good day! The aforementioned wish for a good day does not constitute a guarantee or warrantee that you will have a good day. The Levin Legal Group, P.C. assumes no responsibility for any pre-existing condition of unhappiness, grumpiness or abject misery.

More seriously, the hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements or information that is received on the Internet. Materials in the Levin Legal Group, P.C. Web Site have been prepared to permit you to learn more about the services we offer to clients. These materials do not, and are not intended to, constitute legal advice. Neither transmission nor receipt of such material will create an attorney-client relationship between the sender and receiver. Internet subscribers and users and online readers are advised not to take, or refrain from taking, any action based upon materials in this Web Site without consulting legal counsel.

NOTICE: Although we would like to hear from you, we can not represent you as our client until, among other things, we know that doing so will not create a conflict-of-interest and that we are qualified to meet your legal needs. Accordingly, please do not send us any information about any matter that may involve a potential legal representation until you receive a written statement from us that we represent you (i.e., an "engagement letter" or "fee agreement"). Unless you are already a client of ours, and an engagement letter or fee agreement has been signed by both of us, your e-mail may not be treated as privileged or confidential.

The best way for you to initiate a possible representation is to call our main switchboard at (215) 938-6378. We will put you in contact with someone who will first take you through our conflict-of-interest procedure and see that you are referred to a lawyer suited to handle your matter. If and when you receive an engagement letter from that lawyer, you will be our client and we may exchange information freely.

If you communicate with us by e-mail in connection with a matter for which we already represent you, please remember that e-mail is not fully secure. Unless other arrangements have been made specifically, you should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential e-mail messages without taking the step of ensuring the security of such messages.
