Troff, Petzke & Ammeson

All emails received from or sent to Troff, Petzke & Ammeson (“TPA”) are subject to the following terms and conditions

Intended Recipients

All emails sent by Troff, Petzke & Ammeson and any attachments thereto are intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s).  If you received an email by error or have reason to believe you received an email by error, you must immediately notify the sender by “reply” and permanently delete the message from your computer system. If the intended recipient(s) is a client of TPA, the email and any attachment thereto is intended to be subject to an attorney/client privilege

. 

Attorney-Client Relationship

The act of sending an email to or receiving an email from TPA does not in itself constitute an attorney-client relationship.  The clearest indication of that an attorney-client relationship exists is the execution by TPA and you of an Engagement Letter setting forth the terms of our representation.  Prior to executing an Engagement Letter, TPA will perform a search of our databases to confirm we do not represent persons and/or entities whose interests are in conflict with your interests.  Until you are informed by a TPA attorney that there is no conflict of interest, any communication with TPA will will not preclude TPA from maintaining or subsequently establishing an attorney-client relationship with persons and/or entities whose interests are in direct or indirect conflict with your interest including the subject matter of your email.  It is in your best interest to confirm we do not have a conflict of interest before disclosing information that may be adverse to your interests.

Reliance

Any legal opinion expressed in an email from Troff, Petzke & Ammeson, including any attachment thereto, may only be relied upon by those persons or entities that are clients of Troff, Petzke & Ammeson. 

Non-binding Electronic Transmission

No email, including any statement(s), symbol(s) or attachment(s), is intended to constitute an electronic signature of a TPA attorney or staff member, nor is it intended to constitute an offer, acceptance of an offer or intent to contract electronically by a client of TPA unless the email specifically indicates that it is “being sent pursuant to the Michigan electronic transaction act.”

Confidentiality Notice

The information you transmit electronically will not be treated as confidential. Please do not send any information regarding any current or potential legal matter absent a written statement confirming our engagement by you as your legal counsel.  Even if you are a client of TPA, TPA will treat the information you transmit as confidential only after it is received by TPA and not during the transmission process itself.

Circular 230 Disclosure

To ensure compliance with IRS regulations, we are required to inform you that any tax advice contained in this communication, including any attachments, is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (1) avoiding tax penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (2) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.
