Terms and Conditions: By using this Site and continuing to use this Site, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and that you have read this entire page. If you are not willing to so agree, then you must leave this Site.

Relationship: Your use and browsing of the Site is made at your risk. No attorney client relationship is formed unless such relationship is expressly agreed to in writing between the Attorney and the Client. Therefore, if in doubt, then an attorney-client relationship has not as yet been formed.

Electronic or e-mail communications: As most people know, communications between attorneys and their clients are mostly confidential, to a similar degree as if this person talked with his or her minister or doctor. However, those rules of confidentiality were written long before the Internet and e-mail. These laws were written when one actually had to open a physical envelope or when people generally could meet in a completely private room. This is obviously not the case anymore in our fast-paced lives of cellular calls, faxes, e-mails and pagers. As such, this is all a developing area of the law. Further, the law has not caught up with these very popular methods of communications.

If you use e-mail to communicate with a lawyer, you must know and understand that such messages and communications could be intercepted by third persons who are totally unrelated to the lawyer or his firm or his computer company (ISP). Likewise, the sender could accidently misaddress electronic correspondence (like sending a fax to the wrong number) and it could be read by others. While this inappropriate interception is certainly not the norm, it is a possibility that must be considered by the sender. Neither the Law Offices of Kevin M. Healy nor Kevin M. Healy, Esq. would have any control over those persons, and it is possible that such communications which you thought were confidential could be disclosed either directly or after court process.

By placing this caveat (informing the reader of this possibility), this does not in any way waive any privilege which you might have in communicating with the Law Offices of Kevin M. Healy or Kevin M. Healy, Esq., and it is not to be taken by any third person or entity as agreeing to any waiver of confidentiality; it just let the reader know that the possibility is out there.

Many clients of the Law Offices of Kevin M. Healy and Kevin M. Healy, Esq. have conducted much of their legal affairs over the Internet. There are more secure methods to transfer information, to include encryption. If this is a concern of yours, discuss this matter with an attorney before sending any confidential information. If, however, an individual does choose to send any confidential matters over the Internet, he or she assumes all responsibility for interception and possible unwanted disclosure.

Hazards of Electronic Information: This Site may contain legal information, references, news, synopses of cases, and the like. You may also receive a reference to other sites containing this type of information. A sad reality of this information age is that information can change very quickly. A reader should treat legal information much as they would medical information; you wouldn’t diagnoses yourself regarding a medical condition just based on a website and you would talk to the doctor first.

The reader should make no decision of legal consequence to him or her solely based on information which he or she finds on this Site or any referred site. Cases change and can be overturned by higher courts or new legislation. You may have even found governmental websites quoting law that has been superseded for years. News accounts may be inaccurate or misleading, and be totally inapplicable to the reader’s situation. The reader may think that his or her case is exactly like one seen on the Internet, but truly it is not. Therefore, be very careful in your browsing and develop a relationship with your engaged professional before making any consequential decisions.
