Website Terms of Use

This website is attorney advertising. The attorney responsible for this website is Benjamin A. Shore, Esq., a Maryland attorney.

The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney who has reviewed the facts and circumstances of your matter.

Your use of this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. Contacting Ben Shore Law through this website, by email, by phone, by text message, or otherwise does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when a written engagement agreement is signed.

Ben Shore Law may decline representation for any reason permitted by law, including conflicts of interest, jurisdictional issues, case evaluation, workload, deadlines, or other professional considerations.

Depending on the facts, location, legal issues, deadlines, conflicts, availability, and other professional considerations, an inquiry submitted through this website may be reviewed by Benjamin Shore, referred to another law firm, handled jointly with co-counsel, or declined.

By submitting an inquiry, you authorize Ben Shore Law to review the information provided and, where appropriate, share that information with other attorneys or law firms for the limited purpose of conflict checks, case evaluation, referral, co-counsel review, or potential representation.

If your matter is referred to another law firm or handled with co-counsel, that firm may be primarily responsible for the representation. Any attorney's fees, referral fees, fee divisions, litigation expenses, and client obligations will be governed by the written engagement agreement you sign. A referral or co-counsel relationship will not increase the total attorney's fee charged to you unless disclosed in and permitted by the written fee agreement.

Do not send confidential, privileged, highly sensitive, or detailed information through this website unless specifically requested. Initial contact should be limited to your name, contact information, general matter type, opposing party or employer name if applicable, relevant dates, and a brief description sufficient for a conflict check and preliminary evaluation.

Nothing on this website guarantees or predicts the outcome of any legal matter. Past results, testimonials, case descriptions, settlements, verdicts, or examples do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts, law, evidence, witnesses, procedural posture, decision makers, opposing parties, and other circumstances.

Any discussion of fees on this website is general and does not create a fee agreement. A fee agreement is effective only if set forth in a written agreement signed by the client and the attorney or law firm providing representation.

If this website states that there is no attorney's fee unless there is a recovery, that statement applies only where a written contingency-fee agreement so provides. Clients may remain responsible for case costs and expenses depending on the written fee agreement and applicable law.

Do not use this website for urgent, emergency, or time-sensitive communications. Ben Shore Law does not guarantee that website submissions, emails, voicemails, text messages, or other messages will be reviewed immediately. Legal deadlines can expire quickly. If you have an urgent legal deadline, you should promptly contact qualified counsel directly.

You may use this website only for lawful purposes. You may not use this website to interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, transmit malware, scrape content in a manner that burdens the website, impersonate another person, submit false information, or violate any applicable law.

This website may use third-party services, including hosting providers, website builders, analytics tools, email systems, form processors, scheduling tools, or embedded content. Ben Shore Law is not responsible for third-party websites, services, policies, security, or practices. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

By contacting Ben Shore Law through this website or by email, phone, text message, or other method, you consent to receive responsive communications using the contact information you provide. You understand that electronic communications may carry security and privacy risks.

Benjamin A. Shore, Esq., is licensed in Maryland. Ben Shore Law accepts matters only where representation is permitted by applicable law and professional rules. This website is not intended to solicit clients in jurisdictions where the website would violate applicable law or professional rules.

This website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Ben Shore Law does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure, current, complete, accurate, or error-free. All warranties are disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ben Shore Law and its attorneys, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for damages arising from or related to your use of this website, reliance on website content, inability to access the website, transmission of information through the website, or use of third-party links or services.

Nothing in these terms limits any responsibility that cannot be limited under applicable law or professional rules.

Ben Shore Law may update these terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
