No Attorney Client Relationship or Privilege
Your visiting this website and Cynthia's Brands, does NOT in and of itself establish an attorney-client relationship.

While Cynthia is a lawyer, any communication and information exchanged via Cynthia's Brands shall not be considered legal advice, nor is an attorney client privilege established or exists between us. The creation of an attorney-client privilege varies by state but there are many things to consider before an attorney-client relationship exists.

 

Cynthia selects limited clients to represent in her capacity as a lawyer. It is Cynthia's firm's policy to first have a separate and individual offline discussion to clear any conflicts of interests and understand your particular matter before Cynthia could represent you and second, we'd need to enter into a written engagement letter specifying the nature of the relationships, scope of legal services from Cynthia's firm and compensation structure.

 

Please understand that even if Cynthia holds a Consultation Session with you that does not in and of itself imply or create an attorney - client relationship. Likewise, Cynthia's relationship as a Brand Ambassador, an Event Partnership with MomTime Events does not and is not an attorney client relationship.
