These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at www.srapllc.com (the "Website"), operated by Stephens Reed & Armstrong, PLLC ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our"), a law firm located at 4203 Montrose Blvd., Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77006.
These Terms are intended to be truthful, accurate, and non-misleading, in accordance with the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct (TDRPC), which govern attorney communications, advertising, and client interactions. By using this Website, you affirmatively agree to these Terms in their entirety.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
An attorney-client relationship is only established when both you and the Firm have expressly agreed in writing to such a relationship, typically through a signed engagement letter or retainer agreement. Until that agreement is executed, no information you submit will be treated as confidential attorney-client communication, and no attorney at the Firm is your attorney.
Do not send or include any confidential, time-sensitive, or privileged information in any communication submitted through this Website unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.
General Information Only — Not Legal Advice
The content provided on this Website — including descriptions of legal services, information about attorneys, case results, practice area overviews, blog articles, and any other materials — is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.
Every legal matter is unique. You should consult a licensed attorney about your specific situation before taking or refraining from any legal action. The Firm expressly disclaims any liability for actions taken or not taken based on information appearing on this Website.
Past results described on this Website do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes in future matters. Each case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances.
