01 — 03 / Website information
A clear starting point for informed decisions.
The nature of this website, the boundaries of representation, and the handling of initial inquiries.
01 / General information
Purpose of this website
This website is operated by The Messersmith Law Firm, P.A. to provide general information about the firm, immigration law, and legal services. The material is intended for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for legal advice concerning your individual facts and circumstances.
Use of this website does not create a professional obligation to provide legal services to the visitor.
02 / Representation
No attorney client relationship
Reading this website, communicating with the firm, or requesting a consultation does not, by itself, mean the firm has agreed to represent you. Representation begins only when the firm agrees to undertake the matter and the terms of the engagement are established.
Do not assume that an attorney client relationship exists until the firm has confirmed its agreement to represent you.
03 / Initial inquiries
Contacting the firm & confidentiality
Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time critical information in an unsolicited email or general website inquiry. The firm may need to review potential conflicts and determine whether it can consider your matter before requesting substantive confidential information.
An initial unsolicited communication should not be assumed to be privileged or confidential merely because it is sent to a law firm. Whether communications with a person seeking legal services are protected depends on the circumstances and applicable professional conduct rules. Nothing on this page is intended to waive any professional duty the firm may owe to a client or prospective client.
If you are already represented by the firm, follow the communication instructions provided in connection with your matter.
04 — 06 / Legal information
The law changes. Every matter is different.
Important context for website materials, previous results, and professional responsibilities.
04 / Legal information
Accuracy, timeliness & reliance
Immigration statutes, regulations, agency policies, processing practices, and judicial decisions can change. Information on this website may not reflect the most recent developments, and material that is accurate for one matter may not apply to another.
The firm strives to provide useful information but does not warrant that every page is complete, current, or applicable to a particular situation. You should obtain advice from qualified counsel before taking or foregoing action based on website content.
05 / Past matters
No guarantee of outcomes
Descriptions of prior matters, client experiences, or past results are provided for context and do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other case. Every immigration matter depends on its own facts, governing law, agency procedures, and evidence.
No statement on this website should be construed as a promise of approval, a specific processing time, or a particular result.
06 / Professional responsibilities
Attorney advertising & jurisdictional considerations
Some content on this website may be considered attorney advertising under applicable professional conduct rules. The firm's willingness and ability to accept an engagement depend on the nature of the matter, applicable licensing and practice rules, conflicts of interest, and other professional responsibilities.
The presence of website content in a particular location is not an offer to provide services where such an offer would violate applicable law or ethical requirements.

Links to outside sources, permissions for website material, and updates to these terms.
