4. While there is no attorney-client relationship established by you and any third-party law firm, absent you entering into a retention of said firm, all third-party firm(s) associated with ClaimsFiler.com will keep confidential the information you provide when you ask us to evaluate a possible claim or other legal problem, to the same extent that such information would be confidential if an attorney-client relationship actually existed between you and such firm(s). All information provided by you will remain confidential regardless of whether any third-party attorney-client relationship is created.
5. ClaimsFiler.com reserves the right to reveal confidential information only if: (1) we believe it is necessary to prevent your committing a crime that is likely to result in death or substantial bodily harm; (2) we must establish a claim or to defend ClaimsFiler.com in a controversy with you; or (3) to respond to allegations about how we have represented you.
6. Not withstanding the foregoing, Professional and High Net Worth Members of ClaimsFiler.com are entitled to receive unlimited communications with personal Securities Attorneys. To take advantage of this special benefit and to submit your inquiries directly to an Attorney, a special “Contact Lawyer” email link will be provided to you on your profile page. You should use this link to initiate communication directly with your Securities Attorney. Professional and High Net Worth Members are also entitled to received fully contingent legal representation in matters relating to federal securities fraud, negligence and breaches of fiduciary duty claims against publicly traded companies. The ultimate decision to accept legal representation in any matter is subject to the legal analysis and opinion of the Securities Attorney and is final. The establishment of any attorney/client retention agreement for representation is directly between you and the Securities Attorney, independent of ClaimsFiler.com.
