THIS SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND WAYNE WRIGHT LLP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
WAYNE WRIGHT LLP DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY, CLAIM, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT OF OR ANY WAY RELATED TO (A) ANY ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THIS SITE AND ITS CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TECHNICAL INACCURACIES AND TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS, (B) ANY THIRD PARTY WEBSITES OR CONTENT THEREIN DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ACCESSED THROUGH LINKS IN THIS SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS THEREFROM, (C) THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THIS SITE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, (D) YOUR USE OF THIS SITE, OR (E) YOUR USE OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SITE.
Personal information submitted to the website
Any information that you send us in an e-mail message or through a website form submission is not secure and is done on a non-confidential basis. We make reasonable effort to protect personal information submitted by users of this website, including through the use of firewalls and other security measures on our servers. However, because of the absence of an attorney-client relationship, and because no server is 100 percent secure, you should strongly take this into account when submitting personal or confidential data about yourself on any website, including this one.
Additionally, while this website does not gather your name, e-mail address or similar information about you without your knowledge or consent, the website does permit you to voluntarily submit data about yourself so that we can provide you with requested information about our services. The information gathered will be incorporated into our mailing database and will never be sold to third parties for marketing purposes. At your request, we will remove your personal information from our files.
If you are interested in having us represent you, you should call us so we can determine whether the matter is one for which we are willing or able to accept professional responsibility. We will not make this determination by e-mail communication.
The telephone numbers for our office are listed in this website. We reserve the right to decline any representation. We may be required to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with our other clients.
Terms of Use may be modified
We periodically change, add, or update the material on this website without notice and assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the contents of this website. Your use of this website is at your own risk. Under no circumstances shall Wayne Wright LLP or any other person or entity involved in the creation, production or delivery of this website be liable to you or any other person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind arising from your access to, or use of, this website.
Third-party websites
This website may occasionally contain links to third party websites for the convenience of our users. We do not endorse any of these third party sites and do not intent to imply any association between our firm and the third party. Furthermore, we do not control these third party websites and cannot represent that their policies and practices will be consistent with these Terms of Use. If you use any links to websites not maintained by us, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for the contents or availability of any linked sites. These links are provided only as a convenience to the users of our website.
Legal and Ethical Requirements
The global marketplace is ever-changing and we try to keep up. In doing so, we have tried to comply with all legal and ethical requirements in compiling this website. We welcome comments about our compliance with any applicable rules. We do not want to represent clients based on their review of any portion of this website which does not comply with legal or ethical requirements. If any such requirements are overlooked on this website, it is unintentional. Generally speaking, as a baseline effort, we have endeavored to make this website primarily compliant with the laws of the State of Texas.
To the extent that the professional responsibility rules of any jurisdiction require us to designate a principal office or an attorney responsible for this website, Wayne Wright LLP designates its office at 5707 Interstate Ten West, San Antonio, Texas 78201 (USA), and its managing partner, Wayne Wright.
Laws Vary from State to State
Our lawyers are licensed to practice law only within the states or jurisdictions of Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia, but we affiliate or form relationships with lawyers throughout the United States. We may refer prospective clients to other law firms located throughout the country, who form relationships with us, and are experienced in handling such cases. We may also undertake legal representation in certain cases, and will affiliate with other legal counsel located throughout the country to provide legal representation.
The laws of each state and jurisdiction are different. This website contains information about general or common rules that apply in some states. This website may also contain information about verdicts or settlements in past cases. You cannot assume that the same rules apply, or that the same result would occur, in your case, in your state or any particular jurisdiction.
Statutes of Limitation are especially important. Every jurisdiction has laws which are referred to as statutes of limitation, which create a specific time deadline beyond which no claim or lawsuit may be pursued. This means that a lawsuit filed too late may be thrown out, regardless of the defendant’s fault or the severity of the injuries. In many cases claims or notices must be filed very soon following an injury to protect your rights. Only a competent lawyer with whom you have an attorney-client relationship should advise you on such matters. Because investigation and research is needed to identify all possible defendants and theories of recovery, if you have an accident or injury, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible—if you are planning to do so.
State Advertising Disclosures
Due to the fact that some material on this website constitutes lawyer advertising, and the fact that this website may be accessed from jurisdictions across the United States, particular disclosures may be required by the rules of some states. Accordingly, we make the following disclosures:
Alabama: No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
Colorado: Colorado does not certify attorneys as specialists in any field.
Florida: The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our qualifications and experience.
Iowa: The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. This disclosure is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC: Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or field of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist or expert in a field of law, nor do they mean that such a lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This notice is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
Kentucky and Oregon: THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT.
Mississippi: The Mississippi Supreme Court advises that a decision on legal services is important and should not be based solely on advertisements.
Missouri: Neither the Supreme Court of Missouri nor the Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialist designations.
Nevada: The State Bar of Nevada does not certify any lawyer as a specialist or expert.
New Jersey: ATTORNEY ADVERTISEMENT – NOT A REFERRAL SERVICE. Before making your choice of an attorney, you should give this matter careful thought. The selection of an attorney is an important decision.
New Mexico: LAWYER ADVERTISEMENT.
New York: ATTORNEY ADVERTISING. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Tennessee: None of the attorneys in this firm are certified as a Civil Trial, Criminal Trial, Business Bankruptcy, Consumer Bankruptcy, Creditor’s Rights, Medical Malpractice, Legal Malpractice, Accounting Malpractice, Estate Planning or Elder Law specialist by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization. Certification as a specialist in all other listed areas is not currently available in Tennessee.
Texas: Unless otherwise stated, our attorneys are not certified in any specialty area by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Wyoming: The Wyoming State Bar does not certify any lawyer as a specialist or expert. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently investigate the lawyer’s credentials and ability, and not rely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise.
****We will review a case in any state in which any of our attorneys are licensed to practice.****
Lawyer’s Listings
The information in the directory of lawyers on this website is provided by the listees. We cannot and do not warrant the validity of the information and do not guarantee the quality of their work product.
The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. We do not review the contents of the listings, which are provided by the listees or any links. We are not responsible for any material or information contained in the linked sites or provided by listees.
A description or indication of limitation of practice by a lawyer does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist or expert in any indicated field of law practice. Neither does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer.
All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.
