Legal notices

Disclaimers & privacy

The plain-English version first: this site is advertising, nothing here is legal advice, no outcome is ever guaranteed, and reaching out doesn't make me your lawyer until we both sign an agreement.

Attorney advertising

This website is an advertisement and a communication concerning the availability of legal services. Responsible attorney: Rudyard "Jake" Jewell-Cohen, State Bar of California No. 298384, 1301 Dove St., Suite 120, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Practices law in California only. This site is not directed at, and legal services are not offered for, matters outside California.

No guarantee of results

Nothing on this website promises, guarantees, warrants, or predicts the outcome of any legal matter. Any case results described were dependent on the specific facts of those cases; results differ from case to case, and past results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in your matter. Results identified on this site were obtained while an attorney at Bisnar Chase; every case is different and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Fees and costs — the full disclosure

Personal injury matters are accepted on a contingency-fee basis: no attorney's fee is owed unless there is a recovery, and the fee is a percentage of that recovery. Contingency fee rates are not set by law and are negotiable. Case costs and expenses (such as filing fees, records, and experts) are separate from the attorney's fee. If there is no recovery: under the firm’s standard written agreement, you are not asked to repay the case costs the firm advanced, but only if all of these are true: you followed the firm’s advice throughout the case; the firm represented you through to the end of the case; you were fully honest with the firm about the facts, past claims and medical history; and there was no recovery. If any of those is not true, you may owe the costs the firm advanced. Costs a court orders you to pay the other side are separate and are not covered by this. The agreement you sign controls. Every client receives a written agreement compliant with Business & Professions Code §6147 before representation begins.

No attorney-client relationship

Reading this site, calling, emailing, or submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no such relationship exists until both you and the attorney sign a written engagement agreement. Until then, please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information. Submitting an inquiry does not stop any statute of limitations or other deadline from running — deadlines remain entirely your responsibility until representation is confirmed in writing.

Not legal advice

All content on this site — including practice-area pages and the "How Cases Work" explainers — is general educational information, not legal advice, and may not reflect the most current legal developments. Do not act or refrain from acting based on anything here without obtaining advice about your specific situation.
