Further, by using VY Law Group’s website you agree to all of the terms listed below. In the Policy, You means you, the user, visitor and client ("You" and "Your"), while We and Us means VY Law Group.

GENERAL TERMS

The materials located on VY Law Group’s website are for general informational purposes only and shall neither constitute legal advice nor an agreement for legal services. It is the goal of this website to provide accurate information, but since laws change frequently and may become out of date, VY Law Group cannot guarantee that the information provided herein is accurate or appropriate for an individual's specific situation. Any visitors to this website should, therefore, obtain professional advice from licensed legal counsel in his/her state before acting on any of the information contained in this website.

Under no circumstances does the use of VY Law Group’s website establish or create, directly or indirectly, an attorney-client relationship between you and VY Law Group. VY Law Group and its attorneys are available for consultation regarding legal matters; however, the act of sending electronic mail or making an online contact, asking a question, and/or scheduling a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. VY Law Group is under no obligation to respond to your messages, and if such response is given, that alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. The attorney-client privilege will not protect your message, as you do not have an attorney-client relationship with the firm solely as a result of your initial inquiry. If VY Law Group and you agree to enter into an attorney-client relationship, you will be required to sign a written agreement letter which VY Law Group will provide to you. The engagement letter will describe the matter upon which you initially engage VY Law Group. You will be charged for professional services and advice pursuant to the Retainer/Fee Agreement.
