Terms of Use
Last Updated: August 14, 2026
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at decassereslaw.com, including all pages, content, features, and services available through it (collectively, the “Website”). The Website is operated by the DeCasseres Law Firm LLC, a New York professional service limited liability company (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Website.
1. Informational Purposes Only
The materials on this Website are provided for general informational purposes only. They do not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, legal advice or a legal opinion concerning any specific facts or circumstances.
Laws, regulations, court decisions, and professional standards may change, and information on the Website may not reflect the most current legal developments. You should not act or refrain from acting based on Website content without obtaining advice from a qualified attorney who has considered your particular circumstances.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your access to or use of the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm or any of its attorneys. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a written engagement agreement executed by the Firm and the client, and only after the Firm has completed any required conflict-of-interest review and expressly agreed to undertake the representation.
Neither your receipt of information from the Website nor the Firm’s receipt of information submitted through the Website creates an attorney-client relationship.
3. Communications Are Not Necessarily Confidential
Do not send confidential, sensitive, privileged, or time-sensitive information through the Website, by email, or through any contact form unless the Firm has expressly authorized you to do so in connection with an existing attorney-client relationship.
Information sent to the Firm before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged and may not prevent the Firm from representing a party whose interests are adverse to you, except as otherwise required by applicable law and professional obligations.
Electronic communications may be insecure, delayed, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, or intercepted. The Firm does not guarantee the confidentiality or security of communications transmitted through the Website or by ordinary email.
4. Attorney Advertising
This Website may constitute attorney advertising under the laws and professional rules of certain jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any descriptions of matters, results, testimonials, endorsements, representative clients, or experience are intended only to provide information about the Firm and do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any matter.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no attorney associated with the Firm is certified as a specialist by any governmental authority or private organization. Any description of a practice area indicates only that the Firm accepts matters in that area and does not claim specialization or expertise beyond what applicable professional rules permit.
5. Jurisdictional Limitations
The Firm’s attorneys are admitted to practice only in the jurisdictions identified in their individual biographies. The Firm does not seek to represent anyone in a jurisdiction where the Website fails to comply with applicable law or professional rules, or where the Firm’s attorneys are not authorized to practice.
The Website is not an offer to provide legal services in any jurisdiction in which such an offer would be unlawful. The ability of a Firm attorney to represent a person or entity in a particular matter may depend on the attorney’s admissions, applicable rules concerning temporary practice, association with local counsel, and the facts of the matter.
6. No Guarantee of Results
Legal matters involve risks and uncertainties, and outcomes depend on the particular facts, applicable law, decision-makers, opposing parties, and other circumstances. The Firm makes no promise, representation, or guarantee regarding the outcome of any legal matter.
7. Website Content
The Firm endeavors to provide useful and accurate information but does not represent or warrant that Website content is accurate, complete, current, suitable, or free from errors or omissions. Website content may be changed, removed, or updated at any time without notice.
Publications, alerts, blog posts, articles, presentations, and similar materials reflect their authors’ views as of the date originally published and may not be updated to account for later developments.
8. Permitted Use
You may use the Website only for lawful, personal, and informational purposes. You may not:
use the Website in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
interfere with the Website’s operation, security, or availability;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, server, or network;

use the Website to transmit unlawful, threatening, defamatory, fraudulent, or infringing material; or
use Website content in a manner that suggests the Firm’s sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation without written permission.
The Firm may suspend or terminate access to the Website for conduct that it reasonably believes violates these Terms or threatens the Website, the Firm, or any other person.
9. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the Website and its content—including text, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, audio, software, design, arrangement, and compilation—are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Subject to these Terms, the Firm grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to view and print reasonable portions of Website content for your personal, noncommercial use.

The Firm’s name, logos, service names, and other source identifiers may be trademarks or service marks of the Firm. No license to use those marks is granted by these Terms.
10. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, publications, or services. Links are provided for convenience only. The Firm does not control, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for third-party content, availability, security, privacy practices, products, or services.
Your use of a third-party website or service is governed by that third party’s terms and policies. You access third-party resources at your own risk.
