Thank you for visiting Dean Mead’s website. We created this site to provide you with more detailed information about the legal services that we provide to our clients. It is intended for this purpose only. None of the information contained in this website is intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, legal advice or the solicitation of a particular prospective client.
Viewing our website is also not intended to and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Dean Mead. An attorney-client relationship cannot be formed with us by merely reading the information on this website. Client relationships will only be formed by specific and explicit agreements reached with an individual attorney at Dean Mead. We are not soliciting clients, nor do we propose any type of transaction by providing you with the information on this website. You should not act or rely on any information contained on this website without first seeking the advice of an attorney.

Any information that you send to us in an e-mail message might not be considered to be confidential or privileged. Sending us an e-mail message will also not make you a client of Dean Mead. If you are interested in having us represent you, please contact one of our attorneys directly; and we will determine whether the matter is one that we are willing or able to accept. We will not make such a determination solely by e-mail communication. We reserve the right to decline any representation. We are also compelled to decline representation if it would create a conflict of interest with any of our firm clients. You should not provide us with any confidential information — whether by letter, e-mail or telephone — until after we have first had an opportunity to determine whether representing you would create a conflict of interest with any of our other clients.
