Terms that apply to everything on this website
This page explains what this website is, what it is not, and when a lawyer actually becomes your lawyer.
Attorney advertising
This website is attorney advertising. It is published by Blank Kim Injury Law, whose Virginia office is at4160 Chain Bridge Rd #100, Fairfax, VA 22030. The attorneys named on this site are licensed in Virginia and Maryland.
This is information, not legal advice
Everything on this site is general information about Virginia law and about the kinds of claims we handle. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice about your own situation from a lawyer who has reviewed your facts.
Law changes, and it changes particularly often in some of the areas described here. Pages may not reflect the most recent developments, and a general statement that is accurate in most cases may be wrong in yours. Do not act, or decide not to act, on the basis of anything you read here without asking someone about your own circumstances.
When we become your lawyers
Reading this website does not make us your lawyers. Neither does calling us, sending us a message through the case review form, or telling us about your situation.
An attorney-client relationship is created only when we and you both agree that we will represent you, in a signed written agreement. Until that happens, we are not acting for you and no deadline in your case is being protected by us.
That last point matters more than the rest of this page. Legal claims have deadlines, and some of them are far shorter than people expect. If you have contacted us and have not received a signed agreement, assume your deadlines are still running and follow up with us or with another lawyer.
Information you send us before we are engaged
We treat what you tell us as confidential, and we do not publish clients’ stories or name individuals on this website. However, information sent to us before we have agreed to represent you may not be protected in the same way as information from an existing client, and we may already be acting for someone else involved in the same matter.
For that reason, please do not send us documents or detailed confidential material until we have confirmed that we can consider your case.
Results
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts, its own evidence and its own law, and no lawyer can promise you a particular result.
Where we are admitted
Our attorneys are admitted to practice in the states shown on their individual profiles, which you can read on our attorneys page. We do not seek to represent anyone in a jurisdiction where doing so would not be permitted.
Links and third-party content
This site links to resources we do not control, including directory profiles, mapping services and support organizations. We are not responsible for their content, and a link is not an endorsement.
Reviews and ratings shown on this site are drawn from the platforms that publish them, and they reflect the experience of the individual reviewer rather than any prediction about your case.
