Navigating the legal system can be daunting, especially when facing criminal charges in Minnesota. You might be searching online for a Minnesota Criminal Lawyer and come across websites like InternetLawyers.net. It’s crucial to understand the nature of online legal information and the limitations of websites like ours. This page outlines important disclaimers to ensure you understand our role and how to properly seek legal counsel.
No Attorney-Client Relationship Through Website Use
Simply using the InternetLawyers.net website, whether you are reading articles or contacting us through forms, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and our firm, Lundgren & Johnson, PSC (“the Firm”), or any of our lawyers. An attorney-client relationship is only established when you formally agree to hire us by signing a retainer agreement. This agreement will clearly define the scope of our legal services, the fees involved, and other essential terms.
Our firm policy requires a thorough conflict of interest check and a signed retainer agreement before we can officially represent a new client. This is to protect both you and our firm, ensuring we can provide you with the best possible legal representation without any ethical conflicts. For example, we must ensure we do not already represent another party involved in your case, which would prevent us from representing you.
Confidentiality is Not Guaranteed Online
Please be aware that using this website to send us confidential information about your legal situation does not mean that information is protected by attorney-client privilege. Until you become a client by signing a retainer agreement, any information you share through the website is not considered confidential. Using the website does not even make you a prospective client in a legal sense.
If you have sensitive or confidential details about your legal matter that you wish to discuss with a Minnesota criminal lawyer at our firm, we urge you to contact us directly by phone or schedule an in-person meeting. Do not use website forms or send unsolicited emails containing confidential information. Direct communication ensures your privacy and allows us to properly assess your situation.
Website Information is Not Legal Advice
The content on InternetLawyers.net provides general information about legal topics and developments. This information is for educational purposes only and may not reflect the most current changes in the law. It is important to understand that the materials on our website are not intended as legal advice for your specific circumstances. Every legal case is unique, and general information cannot replace the personalized guidance of a qualified Minnesota criminal lawyer.
For legal advice tailored to your specific situation and legal problems, you must consult directly with a lawyer licensed to practice in Minnesota. They can analyze the specific facts of your case and apply the current law to provide you with accurate and reliable advice.
Past Results Do Not Guarantee Future Outcomes
Our website may contain case summaries, reports of past successes, and lawyer biographies that mention previous cases handled by our firm. These examples are intended to provide general information about our lawyers’ experience and the types of cases we have handled. They are not a guarantee that we can achieve the same or similar results in every case.
You should never assume that past successes predict future outcomes in your legal matter. The result of any legal case is influenced by numerous factors, including the specific facts and applicable laws, the skill of opposing counsel, and unforeseen circumstances. These elements are often beyond the control of both the client and the attorney. While we strive for the best possible outcome in every case, past performance is not a promise of future success.
No Claims of Specialization or Board Certification Unless Explicitly Stated
internetlawyers.net lists the areas of law in which our attorneys practice, including criminal defense in Minnesota. This listing is for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as any lawyer at our firm claiming to be an “expert,” “specialist,” or “board certified” in criminal law unless explicitly stated in their individual biography.
If any of our attorneys are officially certified as specialists by a recognized board or authority, this distinction will be clearly indicated in their professional biography on our website. Otherwise, no claim of specialized expertise is made simply by listing criminal law as an area of practice. When seeking a Minnesota criminal lawyer, it is important to inquire about their specific qualifications and experience in handling cases similar to yours.
