Clear website terms protect both visitors and the firm by setting expectations for use, privacy, and intellectual property. They explain how information is provided and limit liability so users understand the scope of available resources on the site.
An attorney can review the specific facts of your case, identify applicable law, and recommend a plan of action that aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.
Clients choose our firm for thoughtful legal guidance, clear communication, and practical solutions for business and estate matters across North Carolina.
When a matter concludes we provide closing guidance, return files where appropriate, and discuss any follow-up planning or steps to protect the client’s interests.
No. The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. It is not tailored to your specific circumstances and should not be the sole basis for making decisions that have legal consequences. If you need advice about your unique situation, contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation where we can review your facts and provide personalized guidance.
No. Viewing or using the website does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Such a relationship only arises if and when both you and the firm sign a written engagement agreement specifying representation terms. Before an engagement is formalized, treat any information you share as unadvised and avoid disclosing highly sensitive or confidential details through public channels until an agreement and secure communication plan are in place.
Communications made during a retained engagement are treated in accordance with legal privilege and firm confidentiality practices. We will explain how we handle confidential information at intake and in the engagement letter. Information shared through the public website or unsecured channels may not be protected in the same way, so we encourage clients to use secure methods when providing sensitive materials.
Third-party links are offered for convenience and do not imply endorsement of the linked content. We do not control external websites and are not responsible for their accuracy, privacy practices, or content. Before relying on or sharing information from linked sites, review those sites’ terms and privacy policies and verify the information independently.
All content on the website, including text, images, logos, and software, is owned by Hatcher Legal, PLLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Reuse or reproduction requires prior written permission. If you wish to request permission to use any materials, contact the firm with details about the intended use so we can evaluate and respond appropriately.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the firm and its affiliates disclaim liability for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on content or errors that may appear. The site is provided as-is for informational purposes. These limitations do not affect any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law, and specific legal protections will vary by jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms of Use at any time. Changes may be posted on the website and will become effective when published, unless otherwise stated. Users are responsible for reviewing the Terms periodically. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the United States and, where applicable, the laws of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes arising under these terms will be resolved in accordance with those laws. If you have specific questions about jurisdiction or choice of law, discuss them with the firm during a consultative meeting.
If you have questions about these terms, contact Hatcher Legal, PLLC at our Durham office by phone at 984-265-7800 or use the contact form on the website. We will respond to inquiries about the Terms of Use promptly. For matters requiring legal advice, ask to schedule a consultation so we can review your situation and explain representation and fee arrangements.
If you need representation after reviewing the website, call our office or submit the intake form to request an appointment. We will discuss your situation, confidentiality protections, and whether we can represent you in the matter. An engagement letter will outline the scope of services, fees, and other terms. We do not represent you until an engagement agreement is signed by both parties.
