Effective Date: June 10, 2026

Legal Disclaimer

STEN Legal, PC (the "Firm") provides the material on www.stenlegal.com (the “Site”) for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice or is intended to be a substitute for legal advice from qualified counsel. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any content on this Site without first seeking appropriate professional legal counsel. The applicability of legal principles varies depending on the specific facts and circumstances of each situation, and you should consult with a licensed attorney regarding your particular matter.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Your use of this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Firm has undertaken a consultation acknowledged by both parties, considered potential conflicts of interest and professional responsibility obligations, and a formal written engagement letter has been fully executed by both parties. The mere act of visiting this Site, sending an email, completing a contact form, or otherwise communicating with the Firm through this Site does not give rise to an attorney-client relationship.

Unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established through a written engagement, you should not transmit any confidential or sensitive information to the Firm. Any information you send to the Firm prior to the establishment of an attorney-client relationship may not be treated as privileged or confidential, and the Firm shall have no duty to keep such information confidential or to refrain from using or disclosing it in any way.

Attorney Advertising Notice

This Site and its contents may be considered attorney advertising under the California Rules of Professional Conduct (Rules 7.1 through 7.5) and the rules governing lawyers in other jurisdictions. This website is not intended to be a solicitation within the meaning of California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.3. Prior results described on this Site do not guarantee a similar outcome in future matters. The outcome of any legal matter depends upon a variety of factors unique to each engagement, including the specific facts, applicable law, and the parties involved. Any results, testimonials, or endorsements presented on this Site are not intended to predict or guarantee results in any other matter. In accordance with California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1, the Firm does not make any false, misleading, or deceptive communication about the Firm or its services. Pursuant to California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.2(c), the lawyer responsible for the content of this website is identified in the Contact Information section below.

Testimonials and Past Results

Any testimonials, client reviews, or endorsements displayed on this Site reflect the individual experiences of those particular clients and are not intended to represent or guarantee that any current or future client will achieve the same or similar results. In accordance with California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1, the Firm does not publish testimonials that are false, misleading, or that create an unjustified expectation about the results the Firm can achieve. Each legal matter is unique, and the outcome of any matter depends on a variety of factors, including the specific facts, applicable law, the jurisdiction in which the matter is handled, and the conduct of the parties involved.

Any descriptions of prior results or representative matters on this Site, including but not limited to successful trademark registrations, copyright registrations, licensing agreements, or commercial contract negotiations, are provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a promise or guarantee of a particular outcome. The successful registration of a trademark or copyright in one matter does not guarantee that a similar application will be approved in another matter, as outcomes depend on the specific facts, the applicable legal standards, and the decisions of the relevant examining authority. The Firm does not make any representation that it can obtain the same results in every matter. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Testimonials and endorsements do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter. Prospective clients should not make a decision to retain the Firm based solely on testimonials or prior results, and are encouraged to make an independent evaluation of the Firm's qualifications and experience.
