Legal Notices

Attorney advertising

This website constitutes attorney advertising under the rules of the New York State Unified Court System. The material on this site has been prepared for informational purposes only.

No legal advice

Nothing on this website is legal advice. New York foreclosure law is fact-specific, and general information about the foreclosure process, loan modifications, short sales, or lien settlement cannot substitute for advice about your particular case. Do not act or refrain from acting on the basis of anything you read here without consulting an attorney.

No attorney-client relationship

Visiting this website, calling the office, or submitting information through any form does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with the Law Offices of Edward R. Rimmels is formed only when a written retainer agreement is signed by both the client and the firm. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information until that agreement is in place, as unsolicited information may not be treated as privileged.

Prior results

Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. Every foreclosure case turns on its own facts, the applicable law, the lender involved, and the court in which it is heard.

Not a debt relief agency representation

Descriptions of bankruptcy on this site are provided for general educational context only and do not constitute an offer of bankruptcy representation unless expressly stated in a signed retainer.

Acceptance

By accessing this website you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

No warranty

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While the firm makes reasonable efforts to keep the information current, it does not warrant that the content is complete, accurate, or up to date, and the law changes over time.

Your information may be shared with the firm's staff and, where necessary to provide services, with vendors bound to confidentiality. Information may also be disclosed where required by law, court order, or applicable rules of professional conduct.

Confidentiality of unsolicited submissions
