Although we welcome email from potential clients, please note that the act of sending email, in and of itself, does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. In order to establish such a relationship, you need to speak with a specific attorney personally and that attorney must decide that Batts, Batts & Bell, LLP will represent you. If you do send us an email, please include your full name, address, telephone number, and a brief description of the matter as well as the full name(s) of all parties involved, including all potential adverse parties. In your email, you may request that your message be directed to a particular lawyer. However, until the message has been screened for potential conflicts, it will not be forwarded to that individual lawyer. Information provided is NOT confidential unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been established by personal contact with an attorney in our firm. See Legal Disclaimer.
