Welcome to the Daniel Thomann, P.C. (“DTPC”) Web site (“Website”). Please review the following terms and conditions before using the Website.
By accessing, using or viewing this Website, you hereby agree to be bound by this Terms of Use Agreement (“Terms of Use”). DTPC may revise these Terms of Use at any time by updating this posting. If you access, use or view this website after any such revisions have been made, your access and viewing of the Website will indicate your consent to be bound by them, so I advise you to periodically review this page for any such revisions. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please exit this website. DTPC and attorney Daniel Thomann are separate legal entities. This site contains information about both DTPC and attorney Daniel Thomann, and these Terms of Use are equally applicable to information about both DTPC and attorney Daniel Thomann. The materials on this site are provided for informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of DTPC or any of its attorneys or clients, and are not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date. This site is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship between you and DTPC, and you should not act or rely on any information in this site without seeking the advice of an attorney. Please note that no attorney-client relationship is created with the firm unless there is an express agreement between the firm and the client. The mere receipt by the firm of an email, or even a response by the firm to an email, does not create an attorney-client relationship. The information presented is general in nature. It is intended simply as background material, is current only as of its indicated date, and may not include important details and special rules. As a result of this, it cannot and should not be regarded as legal advice. The information presented is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all immigration considerations. Immigration regulations are complex and their meaning can vary greatly depending on the facts of each particular situation. The information presented is general and not designed to address any particular facts. Accordingly, the information presented was not intended or written to be used, and a visitor to the Website cannot use it, for the purpose of deciding what action to take or not take in immigration proceedings, or in recommending any action or omission to another party in any immigration-related matters. The same is true for international law and for any information regarding its use, meaning, or application. DTPC would be pleased to communicate with you by email, but any electronic communication not connected to a matter on which DTPC actively represents you may not be treated as attorney-client communication for privilege purposes, and may be discoverable by opposing parties, opposing counsel, and/or state and/or federal government agencies. If you communicate with DTPC by email in connection with a matter in which DTPC actively represents you, please remember that email may not be secure and you should avoid sending sensitive or confidential email messages unless they are adequately encrypted. In some jurisdictions this site may be considered advertising. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon written information about my qualifications and experience. I would be pleased to communicate directly with you about my qualifications and experience to assist you in making such a decision. DTPC has endeavored to comply with all applicable legal and ethical requirements in creating this site. This site does not reflect any intention on the part of DTPC to represent or seek to represent anyone in a state where this site may fail to comply with all laws and ethical rules of that state. DTPC is engaged in the practice of law in the state of Illinois. Attorney Daniel Thomann is a member in good standing of the bars of the U.S. state of Illinois and the U.S. state of Missouri, but is not engaged in the active practice of law in the state of Missouri. Representation by DTPC and/or attorney Daniel Thomann in other states may be permissible on certain types of federal matters or under certain conditions. Please contact DTPC directly if you have any inquiries regarding representation by DTPC or attorney Daniel Thomann in a state other than Illinois. No representation of any client will be carried out by DTPC or attorney Daniel Thomann in a state other than Illinois unless such representation is in conformity with all applicable legal and ethical requirements of that state and of the state of Illinois.
