Policies

Terms, disclaimer and attorney advertising

What this website is, what it is not, and what does and does not create an attorney–client relationship.

The short version

  • This website is attorney advertising.
  • Nothing on it is legal advice for your situation.
  • Reading it, or contacting the firm through it, does not make the firm your lawyer.
  • The firm becomes your lawyer only when both sides sign a written engagement agreement.
  • Do not send confidential information until that engagement exists.
  • Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Attorney advertising

This website constitutes attorney advertising under the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. It is published by The Law Offices of Christine Thea Rubinstein & Associates P.C., with its principal office at 6 S Jersey Avenue, Suite C, East Setauket, New York 11733.

The material on this site is general educational information. Law changes, and general statements about wills, trusts, Medicaid, probate, foreclosure, reverse mortgages, bankruptcy, taxes and real estate cannot account for the facts of an individual matter. Nothing here should be acted on, or not acted on, without advice from a lawyer who has reviewed your specific situation and documents.

Statements about dollar thresholds, eligibility limits, exemption amounts, tax rates and filing periods are deliberately omitted or described generally throughout this site, because those figures change. Confirm current figures before relying on them.

No attorney–client relationship

Viewing this site, sending email, submitting the consultation form or speaking with the firm in an initial consultation does not create an attorney–client relationship. That relationship is created only by a written engagement agreement signed by both the firm and the client. Until then, the firm has no obligation to protect any deadline in your matter.

Confidentiality of website communications

Information sent through this website may not be secure or privileged. Please do not send confidential, sensitive or privileged material through the contact form or by unencrypted email before an engagement is confirmed. If you are already represented by another attorney in the same matter, say so before sending anything.

Prior results

Any reference on this site to past matters, experience or outcomes is provided for informational purposes. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. Every case depends on its own facts, its own record and the decisions of judges, agencies, servicers and opposing parties that no lawyer controls.

Jurisdiction and admissions

The firm’s attorneys are admitted to practice in the State of New York. The firm does not seek to represent anyone in a jurisdiction where the material on this site does not comply with that jurisdiction’s laws and ethical rules.

This site links to courts, agencies and other organizations for the reader’s convenience. The firm does not control and does not endorse the content of those sites.

Accuracy and availability

The firm works to keep this site accurate and current, and reviews material that depends on changing law on a recurring schedule. Even so, content may become outdated between reviews. The site is provided as is, and the firm does not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Intellectual property

The text, design and other content of this site are the property of the firm unless otherwise noted, and may not be reproduced for commercial purposes without permission.

Accessibility

The firm intends this site to be usable by everyone, including visitors using assistive technology. If you encounter a barrier, call 1-800-488-6734 or write to contact the firm and the firm will work to provide the information in another form.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the State of New York.
