Legal Disclaimer

No Attorney-Client Relationship or Legal Advice

The content of this website has been prepared by Law Offices of William Swafford for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. The information on this website shall not be construed as an offer to represent you, nor is it intended to create, nor shall the receipt of such information constitute, an attorney-client relationship. We hope that you will find the information informative and useful, and we would be delighted to speak with you to answer any questions you may have about our firm.

Internet users, subscribers and readers should not act upon the information on this website, or decide not to act based upon the information on this website, without first seeking appropriate professional counsel from an attorney licensed in the user’s jurisdiction. Because the content of any unsolicited Internet email sent to William Swafford at any of the email addresses set forth in this website will not create an attorney-client relationship and will not be treated as confidential, you should not send us information until you speak to one of our lawyers and get authorization to send that information to us. Please understand that we cannot undertake a representation until, among other things, we are assured that doing so will not involve a conflict of interest. We therefore ask that you not send us any confidential information or information about any legal matter that may involve you without first contacting one of our lawyers and receiving a written statement from us whereby we agree to represent or advise you.

No Guarantee of Results

Certain practice summaries and individual attorney biographies on this website describe results obtained in matters handled for clients of William Swafford. These descriptions are intended only to provide information about the activities and experience of our attorneys and should not be understood as a guarantee or assurance of future success in any matter. The results portrayed were dependent on a variety of facts and circumstances unique to the particular matters described, and do not reflect the entire record of the individual attorney(s) involved. Unless otherwise noted, each matter reported was at least relatively complex, the opposing party was represented by counsel, and, in litigation matters, liability and/or damages was contested. Past results are not a guarantee of the results in future matters, and the outcome of a particular case or matter cannot be predicated upon a lawyer’s or our law firm’s past results. We do not make any guarantee, promise or other assurance that the same or similar results can be obtained in any matter we may undertake, and you should not assume that a similar result or outcome can be obtained by our law firm in your legal matter. The outcome of a particular matter depends on a variety of factors – including, among other things, the specific facts and circumstances of the matter, the applicable law, the competence of opposing counsel and unanticipated events.
