Disclaimer

Not Legal Advice.  The information contained on this Site is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as legal, financial, investment or tax advice from LLF (or the individual author), nor as a substitute for legal counsel, and should not be relied upon as such.  Users of our Site should seek the advice of an individual attorney, licensed in the user’s jurisdiction, for any legal questions concerning a specific factual situation.  By using LLF’s website, reading or commenting on posts, articles or blogs, or sending inquiries through the Site or contact email, you confirm that there is no attorney-client relationship between you and LLF. To become a LLF client, you and LLF must first establish an attorney-client relationship.  The attorney-client relationship is not formed unless and until the firm runs a conflicts check, the matter has cleared the conflicts check AND both you and an authorized attorney at LLF have executed an engagement letter setting forth the terms of the representation.   LLF RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT ANY PERSON OR ENTITY AS A CLIENT, EVEN IF THERE IS NO CONFLICT.   

Please be aware that if you send or submit any information to LLF, its employees, staff, attorneys or representatives via this Site, by email, telephone, facsimile or otherwise, such information or inquiry may not be secure and will not be treated as confidential or privileged, and any such communication may be disclosed to other persons, or used by LLF for any purpose, without regard to confidentiality considerations.   No attorney-client relationship is created by your sending to LLF any information, even if you consider such information to be confidential.   Do not send us confidential or proprietary information since such information will not be protected from disclosure until an attorney-client relationship is formed as set forth herein.  You are solely responsible for the security and confidentiality of all information you transmit to the Site, as well as the information you submit offline to LLF unless and until an attorney-client relationship is formed.  LLF reserves the right not to view, read or respond to any unsolicited transmissions or communications.  You also agree to notify LLF immediately if you suspect or have knowledge of unauthorized access to your personal information or computer equipment or other devices used to access the Site or to transmit your personal information to LLF, or if an individual is or may attempt to impersonate you or submit personal information to LLF without your permission. 

LLF’s principal offices are located in Louisiana with the main office located in Mandeville, Louisiana.  LLF has attorneys licensed to practice in multiple states as listed in their biographies. The ability of any LLF attorney to engage in any activities for a client outside of that attorney’s state(s) of licensure is subject to state statutes, professional standards and court rules.  LLF does not seek, and this Site is not intended to solicit legal engagements in jurisdictions outside of our attorneys’ states of licensure when such engagements would constitute the unauthorized practice of law in any jurisdiction.  LLF makes no representation that materials on this Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations.  Pursuant to Louisiana Rule of Professional Conduct 7.4, the Site’s practice areas do not state or imply certification, specialization, or expertise in any particular area of law.  Unless otherwise noted on the Site, LLF intends to act as primary counsel for clients that retain LLF.

No Guaranteed Results. Some of the case summaries, reports of past results or representative cases and individual attorney biographies on the Site describe current or past matters handled for clients of LLF.  These descriptions are meant only to provide information to the public about the activities and experience of our attorneys.  They are not intended as a guarantee that the same or similar results can be obtained in every matter undertaken by our attorneys.  You must not assume that a similar result can be obtained in a legal matter of interest to you.  The outcome of a particular matter can depend on a variety of factors—including the specific factual and legal circumstances, the ability of opposing counsel, and, often, unexpected developments beyond the control of any client, law firm or attorney.

The LLF attorney principally responsible for this Site is Nicole S. Loeb, Attorney & Chief Executive Officer.  LLF paid for the cost of this Site.
