Thank you for your interest in Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP.

Our Web site is not intended to and does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP. The only way to become our client is by specific and explicit agreement with an individual attorney at Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP. Sending us an e-mail message will not make you a client of Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP. If you are interested in having us represent you, please call us at (585) 987-2800; we will 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. We may be required to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with our other clients. You should therefore not provide us with any confidential information until after we have had an opportunity to determine whether representing you would create a conflict of interest with any of our other clients. Only when you receive an engagement letter from an attorney at Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP, will you be our client, and we may then exchange information freely.
