No Attorney-Client Relationship Created by Use of this Website. Neither your receipt of information from this website, nor your use of this website to contact Barnes, Iaccarino & Shepherd LLP (hereinafter “the Firm”) or one of its lawyers creates an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. You will become a client of the Firm only if and when you sign a retainer agreement setting forth the scope of the Firm’s services, the fee arrangement, and other relevant matters. As a matter of policy, the Firm does not accept a new client without first investigating for possible conflicts of interests and obtaining a signed retainer.
This website is for informational purposes only. You are not our client if you submit information on our website. An attorney-client relationship does not form until there is a signed retainer agreement.
No Confidentiality. You may not use this website to provide confidential information about a legal matter of yours to the Firm. Your use of this website does not make you a client of the firm or even a prospective client of the Firm. If you have confidential information that you would like to give to any lawyer at the Firm, please communicate with one of the Firm’s lawyers in person or by telephone – not by filling in any form on this website or by sending an unsolicited email to the Firm or any of its lawyers.
No Legal Advice Intended. This website includes general information about legal issues and developments in the law and are not a substitute for personal legal advice. Such materials are for informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current legal developments. These informational materials are not intended, and must not be taken, as legal advice on any particular set of facts or circumstances. You need to contact a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction for advice on specific legal issues or problems. Legal advice cannot be given without full consideration of all relevant information relating to your individual situation.
No Intent to Refer Matters to Other Firms. Unless otherwise expressly stated on a particular page of the Firm’s website, the Firm intends to act as primary counsel in representing clients who retain the Firm.

No Guarantee of Results. Some of the case summaries, reports of past results, and individual lawyer biographies on this website describe past matters handled for clients of the Firm. These descriptions are meant only to provide information to the public about the activities and experience of our lawyers. They are not intended as a guarantee that the same or similar results can be obtained in every matter undertaken by our lawyers. You must not assume that a similar result can be obtained in a legal matter of interest to you. The outcome of a particular matter can depend on a variety of factors—including the specific factual and legal circumstances, the ability of opposing counsel, and, often, unexpected developments beyond the control of any client or lawyer.
PRIOR RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE A SIMILAR OUTCOME
