Before You Contact Us
We would very much like to hear from you and we have provided our phone number on our Contacts page, as well as the e-mail addresses of our staff. However, do NOT under any circumstances send us information about any matter until we direct you to do so. We cannot represent you or hear any details of your case until we know that doing so will not create a conflict of interest for us.
States Other Than Oklahoma
Our firm is located in the State of Oklahoma and all of our lawyers are licensed to practice in the State of Oklahoma. This web site is not intended to be an advertisement, and our firm does not seek to represent anyone who desires representation, in a state where this web site does not comply with all laws and ethical rules of that state.
Further Information
The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our qualifications and experience.
Before Sending E-Mail
Receiving or responding to electronic mail by our law firm does not constitute acceptance of any legal representation. You should never send unsolicited, confidential or time-critical communications by electronic mail. Deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters, and you may lose important legal rights if you do not hire an attorney immediately to advise you with your legal needs.
We welcome you to send us an e-mail including comments or suggestions about the Site or inquiring about the firm's legal services, but we must request that you please not include details about your legal problem, or reveal any sensitive information in your message, until we have an opportunity to determine whether we are able to discuss the matter further with you.
Additional Disclaimers
The information on this site is provided free of charge as general information only and do not constitute legal, financial, or investment advice. Laws vary from state to state, and many laws have exceptions that may apply to each situation. The facts, circumstances, and the provisions of pertinent legal documents make each situation unique. WARNING: Before acting (or not acting) be sure to consult with the appropriate attorney (as to legal matters), certified public accountant (as to tax returns and tax matters), and/or an investment advisor (as to investments) who is licensed in the state whose laws apply to the situation, who has experience in the field, and who has an adequate opportunity to review the pertinent facts, documents, and laws related to your situation.
The sole purpose of this Site is to provide general information about our firm and to identify some current legal issues that may be of interest to you. The information on this Site is not intended as legal advice or as a legal opinion, and it certainly should not and cannot substitute for individual consultation with a qualified attorney. You should not consider that any information you find here necessarily applies to your specific situation or that an attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Site or by sending a message to the firm or any of our attorneys.
The law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and is continually evolving. We cannot make any representation, and cannot assume any liability, for the content, accuracy or other aspect of the information here or at any other site to which links may be provided. By including a link to another site, the firm intends no endorsement or implied association with any other site, organization or individual.
Privacy Policy
It is our policy not to disclose any personally identifiable information which may be collected on this site to any third parties without the permission of the person from whom such information is gathered, unless there are compelling reasons, such as compliance with legal process, to do so. The only contemplated uses of any information gathered on this site are to use aggregate statistics on site usage and traffic, to send e-mails relating to changes or additions to the site, to respond to queries or as a seed list for solicitation for newsletters or other projects related to this site or our legal practice. It is our hope in each such case that we will use this information to improve your experience on this site or to otherwise provide you with some benefit.
We don't like web sites that collect our e-mail address and send us lots of unsolicited e-mails, so we want to treat you as we would like to be treated. If any such contacts seems intrusive to you, you should contact me (Gary Brown). Because this site is hosted by a third party, there may be accessability to information of which we are not aware by the host. Our right to change or delete any such information may be limited or non-existent, but we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate such requests. Obviously, e-mails to us may disclose much more personal information, presumably with your permission, but we, again, do not share this information with third parties without your permission (except that in certain cases we will share the information within Brown & Associates, as part of a possible client intake process, in which case you will be deemed to have provided such permission), although we may use this information in the manner set forth above.
This site is not directed toward children under the age of 18. Any person under the age of 18 who wishes to provided any form of personally identifiable information must do so only after express parental consent has been provided to us in a manner that we deem satisfactory to ensure that we in fact have the permission of the parent. No personally identifiable information about a child will ever be knowingly collected, retained or disclosed to third parties if we know that such information is from a child.
