Attorney Advertising

This website may constitute attorney advertising under the laws of some states. Black Nuptials does not intend its site to constitute attorney advertising but recognizes that it may be so considered in certain jurisdictions.  To clarify the purpose of the website and Black Nuptials’ intent as to its visitors, Black Nuptials states that visiting the website and interacting with the materials provided thereon does not establish an attorney-client relationship, which is only formed when you have signed an engagement agreement and complied with the terms thereof. Materials and information provided on the website are not indicative of likely results in any particular matter.  Black Nuptials cannot guarantee results; past results do not guarantee future results.

​

No Attorney-Client Relationship or Legal Advice

Neither receipt of information presented on blacknuptials.com nor any email or other electronic communication sent to Black Nuptials or its attorneys through blacknuptials.com will create an attorney-client relationship. Black Nuptials cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information provided by email through the website.  No user of blacknuptials.com should act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of information included on blacknuptials.com without first consulting legal counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.

​

Licensing Status

Our attorneys are licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey. Each attorney’s licensing credentials are indicated on the About page of blacknuptials.com. The attorneys of Black Nuptials practice law only where licensed to do so, where permitted to do so by virtue of the advice rendered being on issues of Federal law, and where permitted to do so by multijurisdictional practice rules including American Bar Association Model Rule 5.5 and individual state rules modeled after American Bar Association Model Rule 5.5.  To the extent the attorneys of Black Nuptials are contacted by potential clients seeking legal services in jurisdictions in which the attorneys are not permitted by these or other means to practice law, Black Nuptials shall decline to provide representation.  Black Nuptials does not seek to represent anyone based solely upon a visit to blacknuptials.com or upon advertising, or where to do so would not comply with applicable local laws and rules.  Access to the website from physical locations in jurisdictions in which the attorneys of Black Nuptials are not permitted to practice law is inadvertent and unavoidable due to the nature of internet access; any such access is not intended by Black Nuptials as an advertising effort or an effort to establish a systematic and continuous presence in any jurisdiction in which the attorneys are not permitted to practice law.
