ARTICLE 01
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using this website does not create an
attorney-client relationship.
Submitting a contact form, requesting information,

calling the Firm, or otherwise interacting with this
website does not establish an attorney-client
relationship between you and Childs Legacy Law Firm,
P.C., Eraka L. Childs, Esq., or any attorney or
representative of the Firm.
An attorney-client relationship is established only
after the Firm has completed its applicable intake and
conflicts procedures and the Firm and prospective client
have entered into an appropriate written engagement or
retainer agreement.
Important Notice
Please do not submit confidential, privileged, or
time-sensitive information through a general website
form, email, or other communication channel unless
the Firm has specifically instructed you to do so.

established, information you submit may not receive
the same protections that apply to communications
within an established attorney-client relationship.
