Terms of Use
Last Updated: October 1, 20261. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the website located at nycriminalappealsadvocates.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use this Site. New York Criminal Appeals Advocates reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Site following any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
The information provided on this Site is for general informational purposes only. Accessing this Site, reading its content, or submitting an inquiry through any contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and New York Criminal Appeals Advocates, Criminal Appeals Advocates PLLC, or any attorney associated with the firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only upon execution of a written engagement agreement signed by the firm. Do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this Site until you have confirmed an attorney-client relationship in writing.
3. No Legal Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice. The information published here is general in nature and may not reflect the most current legal developments. Laws vary by jurisdiction and fact pattern.

4. No Guarantee of Results
Prior results described or referenced on this Site do not guarantee a similar outcome in future matters. All post-conviction work is difficult to win. Criminal appellate work involves reviewing courts that rarely reverse, procedural bars that frequently foreclose review, and highly deferential standards of review. The outcome of any matter depends on its specific facts, the applicable law, the court, and numerous variables outside any firm's control.
5. Jurisdiction and Admission
New York Criminal Appeals Advocates is the marketing name of Criminal Appeals Advocates PLLC, a New York law firm. The attorneys associated with the firm are admitted to practice in New York State and, where indicated, before specific federal courts.

All content on this Site, including text, design, graphics, and layout, is the property of the firm and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property law. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content on this Site without prior written permission.
