Please also be aware that the transmission of an e-mail inquiry alone
does not create an attorney-client relationship in any way. You should
NOT act or rely on any information in this site without seeking the
advice of an attorney. This information is not a substitute for legal
advice from an attorney with whom you have engaged. Please be advised
that if we do not currently represent you in an action and you communicate
with us through this web-site or via e-mail, your communication may
not be treated as privileged or confidential. Please also remember
that internet e-mail is not always secure and you should avoid sending
sensitive or confidential internet e-mail messages unless they are
adequately encrypted. Emerson Poynter LLP cannot serve as your counsel
in any matter without you and Emerson Poynter LLP expressly agreeing
in writing that we serve as your attorney. Meetings with the Firm's
lawyers are by appointment only.
Please also note that with almost all legal matters
time is of the essence. The Statute of Limitations for a particular
claim or in a particular jurisdiction may severely limit the time remaining
for you to file any potential claims you may have or may eliminate
your ability to bring such claims. Therefore, because electronic transmission
of information is not always 100% reliable, we encourage you to contact
us by phone to ensure that we receive your information in a timely
manner.
Emerson Poynter practices in federal courts throughout
the United States. Attorneys at the firm are specifically licensed
to practice in the state and Federal courts listed on their individual
attorney profiles. As such, we are individually and collectively subject
to the ethics, and applicable statutes of the State Bars of Texas,
Arkansas, and Washington. We also have affiliations with attorneys
licensed to practice in each state where we are currently litigating
but do not have a member of the firm barred in that state.
Emerson Poynter LLP does not make any guarantees regarding
case results. Past success in litigation is in no way a guarantee of
success in future litigation. To the extent the State Bar rules require
us to designate a principal office and/or single attorney responsible
for this site, Emerson Poynter LLP designates John Emerson Esq. as
the attorney responsible for this site.
