1. About Bean Kinney and Acceptance of These Terms

This website is operated by Bean, Kinney & Korman, P.C. (“Bean Kinney,” the “firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), located at 2311 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 500, Arlington, Virginia 22201. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of www.beankinney.com and any other website, page, or online feature operated by the firm that links to these Terms of Use, including all content, functionality, and services offered on or through them (collectively, the “Website”).

By accessing or using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

2. No Legal Advice; General Information Only

The Website provides general information about Bean Kinney, our attorneys, our services, and legal or business topics that may be of interest. The information on the Website is not legal advice and should not be relied on as legal advice for any specific situation. Legal rights and obligations depend on specific facts and applicable law, and legal rights can be impaired or forfeited if not asserted in a timely fashion. You should consult qualified legal counsel before acting or refraining from acting based on anything on the Website. The Website may include materials that are dated or archived and may not reflect current law or later developments.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship; No Confidential Information

Your use of the Website, your review of Website content, your submission of a contact form, your subscription to firm communications, or your communication with Bean Kinney through the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only if Bean Kinney agrees in writing to represent you after completion of the firm's conflict-check, engagement, and acceptance procedures.

Please do not send confidential, sensitive, privileged, or time-sensitive information through the Website or by email unless we have agreed in writing to represent you. Information you submit before an attorney-client relationship is formed may not be treated as privileged or confidential, we have no obligation to keep it confidential, and it will not prevent the firm from representing a party with interests adverse to yours, even in a matter where that information could be used against you.

4. Attorney Advertising; Jurisdictions; Prior Results

The Website may be considered attorney advertising under the rules of some jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter; case results depend on facts, circumstances, law, evidence, and other factors unique to each matter. The firm's attorneys practice only in the jurisdictions in which they are admitted or otherwise authorized to practice, as identified in their individual biographies, and the Website is not intended to solicit legal employment in any other jurisdiction. Selecting an attorney is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertising.
