EMAIL AND FIRM ENGAGEMENT POLICY

(Effective Date: January 1, 2017. Amended as of July 10, 2017)

This email message may contain privileged and confidential information and is intended only for the use of the individual(s) and/or entity(ies) identified in the address of this message. If you are not the intended recipient, or an employee or agent responsible to deliver it to the intended recipient, you are hereby requested not to distribute nor copy it. If you have received this communication in error, please notify the Nissenbaum Law Group, LLC (“Firm”) immediately by telephone (908-686-8000) or return email and delete the original message from your system. Any email messages that you wish to send our Firm of a privileged or otherwise private nature are subject to the limited security protections inherent in email, which are not complete and for which the Firm cannot vouch. For example, (1) email is not a fully secure method of communication, (2) any email that is sent to you or by you may be copied and held by various computers it passes through as it goes from the office to you, vice versa or otherwise and (3) persons not participating in our communications may intercept them by improperly accessing your computer or the Firm’s computer or even some computer unconnected to either through which that email passes.In addition, Internet usage and access encompass similar limited security protections, insofar as data, documents and other digital information can be diverted or accessed by those not authorized.Examples include, without limitation, cloud storage of documents for which unauthorized persons may gain access; online forms or applications that may be improperly accessed when submitted in connection with a legal matter; and social media posts that are meant to have limited dispersal that likewise are improperly accessed.

The Firm is communicating to you via email because you have consented to receive communications via this medium. Additionally, you have consented to utilize the Internet to otherwise store, transmit or communicate data. If you change your mind and want to communicate with us, or want us to communicate with you, in a different manner, or to not use the Internet in regard to any matter involving you, please so advise Gary Nissenbaum, Esq. in writing.

The Firm shall not be deemed retained as counsel in any matter until and if a formal written retainer agreement is fully executed and the retainer amount or other fee is deposited in the Firm’s bank account and clears as good funds. Until such time, neither the Firm, nor any of its legal professionals, will be deemed to have undertaken any duty, such as without limitation, the duty to update and follow up. The law provides for strict deadlines, such as statutes of limitations, which may vary from state to state. They will not be evaluated until and if the Firm is fully retained as counsel. For that reason, among others, you should hire a lawyer as soon as possible to advise you on any pending legal matter.
