Last Updated: June 6, 2018
NO ATTORNEY CLIENT RELATIONSHIP: YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT UNTIL AMPLIFY LAW HAS ENTERED INTO A FORMAL CLIENT ENGAGEMENT LETTER WITH YOU OR A CLIENT, NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP WILL BE CREATED OR EXIST. YOU SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION TO US NOR DOES THE SUBMISSION OF ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS TO US CREATE ANY ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP.
Agreement: By visiting or using this website (including, without limitation, by browsing webpages or submitting any information to us), you agree to be bound by the terms of this Disclaimer and Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy (collectively "Terms"). If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, please exit the site now. Your agreement with use regarding compliance with these Terms becomes effective immediately upon commencement of your use of the site.
Who We Are: Amplify Law, PLLC ("Amplify Law" "we" "us" "our" "firm" "our firm" etc.) is a law firm based in Virginia and serving clients in the greater Washington, DC area throughout the United States, in compliance with applicable law and professional regulations.
SaaS Agreement Services: If you are interested in our SaaS template/form services - you can learn more here. Remember, all engagements are solely goverend by the terms of our engagement letter.
Attorney Advertising: The materials on this website (including all webpages on the website, collectively the "Site") may be considered attorney advertising in some jurisdictions. These materials are for informational purposes only and are not for the purpose of providing legal advice. Your use of this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Amplify Law PLLC. While we are happy to have you contact us, merely contacting our firm or any firm attorney does not create an attorney-client relationship until an agreement has been reached between you and the firm to handle a particular matter. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our qualifications and experience. The jurisdictions in which a lawyer is licensed to practice are listed on the lawyer's individual web page. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes. When the result achieved in a case is mentioned, that result depended on (among other factors) the facts of that case, and in other cases, the result may differ if based on different facts. Please note that certain of the clients and industry experience examples were undertaken by our lawyers when they were at previous firms (i.e. our attorneys represented those clients and worked in those industries but in certain cases, while at other firms).
Sending of Materials: Because unsolicited confidential information may not be subject to an attorney-client privilege and may not be treated as confidential, you should not send confidential information to us without first speaking to one of our attorneys and receiving authorization to provide confidential information. Receipt of unsolicited confidential information by our firm or one of our attorneys will not disqualify the firm from representing another party in any matter to which the information relates. Amplify Law will also have no duty to keep any such unsolicited information confidential prior to the formation of an attorney-client relationship except as subject to applicable law or professional regulations.
No Solicitation: Amplify Law does not desire to represent anyone desiring representation based upon viewing this website in a jurisdiction in which this Site fails to comply with all laws and ethical rules of that jurisdiction.
Chat: If you initiate a chat session with us on the website you understand that it does not establish a attorney-client relationship which can only be established through an engagement letter signed by the firm and you. You agree that you will not rely on any information provided in such chat and that we will not provide legal advice via the chat.
Disclaimer: You should not take, or refrain from taking, any legal action based upon the information contained in this Site without first seeking professional counsel. To the extent permitted by law, Amplify Law disclaims liability to any person for any loss which may arise from relying upon or by using information contained in this site.

Our Offices + Interactions: Amplify Law is based in Virginia and represents client in Virginia, the greater Washington, DC metro area and across the United States. Our work is performed in jurisdictions where our attorneys are admitted to the bar (e.g. Virginia). We interact with clients by telephone, email and electronic communication as well as in person. We meet with clients in the Washington, DC area at client offices/locations, at public locations (restaurants/coffee shops) or at short-term/virtual/co-working office locations where the firm has a relationship or agreement with the owner of such property to use such facility. When we meet with clients in a state or jurisdiction in which we are not admitted, it is generally for business development purposes. We may provide incidental and temporary legal services in such a jurisdiction as permitted by the applicable law or rules of professional conduct of such jurisdiction. For example, we may have meetings to discuss agreements we drafted at your office or our short term office space. You expressly acknowledge and agree that the offices listed on our Site are locations where we have short term access and the ability to hold a prospective client or client meeting but such locations are not full time business offices of the firm (and we may solely use it on an incidental and temporary basis to meet clients or prospective clients).
Office Hours: Our address listed on the Contact Us page is available only for pre-arranged client meetings. Please do not simply come to such office without first scheduling an appointment with us as the Firm utilizes a office sharing/flex/virtual arrangement that helps us keep our rates and costs low for the benefit of our clients.
How We Work: We execute and engagement letter with each of our clients at the commencement of a representation. We are a small firm of attorneys who focus on startup, commercial, technology, health sciences, corporate and other similar areas of transactional law. We can coordinate assistance from attorneys with subject matter and practice area expertise similar to or outside of our core areas as needed for clients. We also may use other attorneys who are independent contractors or unaffiliated third parties as appropriate, if and to the extent, set forth in an engagement letter or as otherwise agreed to by a client (whether orally or in writing). Sometimes these attorneys may interact directly with you and you will enter into a separate engagement letter with them. Sometimes these attorneys will provide support to our attorneys in ares in which we practice and we will remain the main point of interaction. You agree to such represntation model or such other representation as may be set forth in an engagement letter.
