Contacting Waldrop & Colvin PLLC, submitting information, or participating in an initial consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a written engagement agreement signed by the firm and the client. Please do not submit confidential or sensitive information before the firm confirms the engagement.
