6. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Information posted or made available on or through the Site, including without limitation any comments posted on the Site are not intended to create an attorney-client relationship between you and JL or any other law firm. Such information is intended for general informational purposes only and should be used only as a starting point for addressing your legal issues. It is not a substitute for an in-person or telephone consultation with an attorney licensed to practice in your jurisdiction about your specific legal issue, and you should not rely upon such information. You understand that questions and answers or other postings to the Site are not confidential and are not subject to attorney-client privilege. Contact through IQM is not an offer to represent you, nor is it intended to create an attorney-client relationship.

IQM does not select, screen, approve, endorse or limit who can contribute to IQM comments. In addition, although we reserve the right to review, remove or edit any content from the site, we do not routinely screen, monitor, or review the content of any such information. As a result, we have no control over and we do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, adequacy, applicability, completeness, currency or quality of any such information or the qualifications of those posting information. IQM SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY LEGAL INFORMATION YOU ENCOUNTER ON OR THROUGH THE SITE, AND ANY USE OR RELIANCE ON LEGAL INFORMATION IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. Establishment of an attorney-client relationship must occur outside the scope of IQM. Reporting a complaint or submitting a case evaluation does not create an attorney-client relationship and nothing contained on the Site should be considered an offer to represent you. Users should not act or refrain from acting due to information found on the Site without the guidance of a licensed attorney. Each user is solely responsible for making his, her or its own selection of counsel. Because there are time limits called “statutes of limitations” in which a lawsuit must be filed, you should consult with a licensed attorney as soon as possible. A licensed attorney can investigate your potential claim and advise you regarding any applicable deadlines.

These Site Terms and your use of the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Pennsylvania (even if your use is outside of the State of Pennsylvania), without resort to its conflict of law provisions. Any action which you or IQM brings to enforce this agreement or any matters related to this Site shall be brought in the Superior Court of the State of Pennsylvania.

If any provision of these Site Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Site Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

14. State Laws Vary

IQM is sponsored by JL. JL is licensed to practice law in New Jersey and Pennsylvania only but we affiliate or form relationships with lawyers throughout the United States. If you submit and inquiry to the site your inquiry may be reviewed by other law firms around the country including but not limited to JL.

JL may refer prospective clients to other law firms located throughout the country, who form relationships with JL, and are experienced in handling such cases. JL may also undertake legal representation in certain cases, and will affiliate with other legal counsel located throughout the country to provide legal representation.

The laws of each State are different. This web site contains information about general or common rules that apply in some states. This web site may also contain information about verdicts or settlements in past cases. You cannot assume that the same rules apply, or that the same result would occur, in your state or any particular state.

The Statute of Limitations is especially important. Every state has laws called the "statute of limitations" which set a deadline to file a lawsuit. That means that a lawsuit filed too late may be thrown out, regardless of the defendant's fault or the severity of the injuries, Some states have a two-year period for negligence injury claims; the time period in other states may be longer or shorter. Insurance policies, particularly homeowners insurance, may require that suit be filed within one year of a loss. Some states allow claims against government agencies, but require a written notice very soon after the accident, perhaps within three months. Because investigation and research is needed to identify all possible defendants and theories of recovery, if you have an accident or injury, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

15. Legal and Ethical Requirements

JL has tried to comply with all legal and ethical requirements in sponsoring this web site. We welcome comments about our compliance with the applicable rules and will update the site as warranted, upon learning of any new or different requirements. We only want to represent clients based on their review of this web site, if it complies with all legal or ethical requirements.

To the extent that the professional responsibility rules of any jurisdiction require us to designate a principal office or an attorney responsible for this web site, Jaeckel Law designates its office in Doylestown, PA.

16. State Advertising Disclosures

  • NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC: Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or field of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist or expert in a field of law, nor do they mean that such a lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This notice is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
