Confidential preliminary inquiry

Prospective Client Intake

Please read before you begin

  • Submitting this form does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. A relationship is formed only if and when you sign a written engagement agreement with a specific attorney.
  • Your responses are NOT protected by the attorney-client privilege. Consistent with ABA Model Rule 1.18, they will be treated as confidential and used only to evaluate whether an attorney can assist you.
  • No legal advice is being provided through this form, and none should be inferred from it.
  • Keep your answers brief and high-level. Do not share confidential strategies, settlement positions, privileged communications, or sensitive personal details at this stage.
Who is this legal matter for?

This lets us handle matters involving minors correctly.

1

Your contact information

Shared with the attorney you contact so they can run their own conflict-of-interest check.

2

Who is on the other side?

The person, business, or organization adverse to you — so the attorney can check for conflicts of interest.

3

General legal category

So your inquiry reaches an attorney who lists this practice area.

4

Deadlines or court dates

Have you been served, or is there an upcoming court date or deadline? This flags urgent matters.

5

Where did this occur?

City/state where the issue arose or the property/business is located — so your inquiry reaches an attorney licensed in that state.

By submitting you confirm you have read the notice above. This is not legal advice and creates no attorney-client relationship.
