An attorney-client relationship is only created when explicitly agreed to, in writing, by both parties. Although this may occur in multiple forms (typically an engagement letter), it requires a signature by both the attorney (e.g., Blake Stovall) and the potential client. This means that no attorney-client relationship is formed when you contact us via this website (e.g., using the contact form) or any other means.

We are required, however, to keep any information you provide us confidential, and we will do so to the best of our ability. However, we request that you do not send us confidential information via the contact form, e-mail, or any other insecure form of communication. If you choose to do so, we are not responsible if a third party discovers that confidential information (i.e., you have been warned). If you feel that you must provide us with confidential information, please call us directly.

Certain legal issues may be time sensitive. For example, patents may have bar dates that, if not met, result in the forfeiture of the patent rights. If your legal issue is time sensitive, or if you are not certain whether it is time sensitive, please call us. Contacting us via other means (e.g., e-mail, contact form) may result in us not receiving your message in a timely fashion or at all (e.g., e-mails may be caught by a spam filter or an error may occur when submitting the contact form message). If we do not respond promptly to any form of communication, please contact another attorney as soon as possible so that they may determine whether there is a time sensitive issue that must be resolved.

Our contact information is not for use by individuals or businesses soliciting products or services. By obtaining our contact information via this website and using our contact information to market your product or service, you agree to pay a reasonable fee for the time required to review your communication.
