Terms of Use:

This website presents general information about Megawatt Law and is not intended as legal advice nor should you consider it as such. To obtain legal counsel or legal services from Megawatt Law, you must first establish an attorney-client relationship with the firm. Until you do so and receive, sign, and return an engagement letter, you have not hired an attorney and have not become a client of the firm. Whether you are a new or existing client of the firm, Megawatt Law cannot represent you on a new matter until James Schmidt determines that there is no conflict of interest and that James Schmidt, dba Megawatt Law, is willing and otherwise able to accept the new engagement. Unless and until Megawatt Law has informed you it is willing and able to accept your new matter, do not send James Schmidt or Megawatt Law any information or documents that you consider private or confidential. Such information will not be treated as private, confidential, or otherwise protected from disclosure until Megawatt Law has communicated it is willing and able to accept your new matter. 

The materials on this website have been prepared by Megawatt Law for information purposes only and are not legal advice. This information is not intended to create, and your receipt of the information does not constitute, an attorney-client relationship. Internet subscribers and online readers should not act upon this information without seeking professional counsel. Photographs are for dramatization purposes only and may include models. Likenesses do not necessarily imply current client, employee, or other status.

This website is not intended to be a source for legal advice, and thus the reader should not rely on any information provided in this website as such. Readers should not consider the information provided to be an invitation for an attorney-client relationship, which can be established only by an engagement letter.  For questions of law solely within your jurisdiction, you should always seek the advice of competent counsel in your jurisdiction. Communicating with Megawatt Law through this website by email or otherwise does not create an attorney-client relationship for any legal matter for which we do not already represent you. Accordingly, your communication may not be treated as confidential.

If you are interested in having Megawatt Law represent you in a matter, please email James Schmidt at JASchmidt@MegawattLaw.com, or call at +1 804.596-9288.   You can also email James to set up a Skype voice or video call.  Before accepting the representation of your matter, James will need to ensure that doing so does not create a conflict of interest with any other client.
