All materials have been prepared for general information purposes only to permit you to learn more about our firm, our services and the experience of our attorneys.

No Attorney-Client Relationship or Legal Advice
Communication of information by, in, to or through this Web site and your receipt or use of it (1) is not provided in the course of and does not create or constitute an attorney-client relationship, (2) is not intended as a solicitation, (3) is not intended to convey or constitute legal advice, and (4) is not a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney. You should not act upon any such information without first seeking qualified professional counsel on your specific matter. The hiring of an attorney is an important decision that should not be based solely upon Web site communications or advertisements.
You also should not rely upon the transmission of an e-mail message to an attorney through this Web site to create an attorney-client relationship. The transmission or exchange of information will not do so. Without an attorney-client relationship in the matter, we cannot assure you that your communications will be privileged or (unless we otherwise agree in a specific case) that we will treat them as such. Please do not send us any confidential or sensitive information until you speak with one of our attorneys and obtain prior written authorization to send that information to us.
Licensing Status
Unless otherwise expressly specified, the attorneys listed in this Web site are not certified by, or certified as specialists or experts by, any professional or governmental agency or authority.

Although we practice in many several jurisdictions, our attorneys are licensed to practice only in those of such jurisdictions designated in their respective biographies. In the event that our Attorneys appear outside of Illinois all requirements will be met including filing a motion for pro hac vice and any other local or state requirements.

Gaston, L.L.P. does not seek to represent anyone based solely upon a visit to this Web site or upon advertising, or where to do so would not comply with applicable local laws and rules.
