Dear Prospective Client,  

We appreciate your visit to our website and your interest in retaining our office for legal services.  The email address below is an unmonitored email address and is only used for the purpose of having prospective clients provide contact and any adverse party’s contact information. If for any reason you do not receive a response within one business day, please call our office at (860) 599-1111 extension number 1

First, however, we need to give you this important message:  

Information you send by email through this link is not protected by the attorney-client privilege and is not confidential.  Therefore, your email should not include confidential information.  

To obtain legal advice, you must establish an attorney-client relationship with us by signing and returning a signed retain agreement and a retainer payment as requested.  Until you do so, we are not your attorney, you are not our client, and nothing you tell us is privileged or confidential.  

If in doubt about whether any information is confidential, please exclude it. Your failure to follow this directive may enable us to use this information against you if we are representing an adverse party in any other matter. We need only information to perform a conflict check to determine whether we can represent you. You will need to review our Introductory Letter, Policies and Procedures and completed our Background Information Form. Upon receipt of your test email, we will forward a copy of our introductory forms.

DO NOT PROVIDE ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. ONLY AFTER WE ARE RETAINED WILL YOU BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION OR PERSONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION SUCH AS DATE OF BIRTH, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR MATTER.   

Thank you,  

Ritacco Law
