Legal
Terms & Conditions
The rules for using this website, and an honest statement of how far anything published here can be relied upon.
These terms in full
By using queens-probatelawyer.com you accept these terms. They were last reviewed on 2026-09-30.
Attorney advertising
This website is attorney advertising. Nothing on it should be read as a guarantee, a prediction or a promise of any result in any matter. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Not legal advice, and no relationship created
Everything published here is general information about the law in New York. It is not legal advice. It is not tailored to your circumstances, and it cannot take account of facts the practice has not been told.
Reading this website, calling the office, or sending a message through the contact form does not create an attorney–client relationship and does not make the practice your lawyer. A relationship is formed only when the practice agrees to take your matter and you accept that arrangement, normally confirmed in writing after a consultation. Until that happens, do not send confidential or sensitive material.
No outcome is promised
Nothing on this site is a promise that a will will not be challenged, that probate will be completed within any period, that assets will be preserved, or that a criminal charge will be reduced or dismissed. Anyone making such promises is not describing legal practice accurately. Matters turn on their facts and on the evidence, and those are not knowable in advance.
Legal information changes
Statutes, regulations, court rules and local court practice change. Any substantive statement on this site reflects the position as at the review date shown on that page and may since have been overtaken. Publication dates are not warranties of currency.
Third-party information and trademarks
BBB accreditation and rating are stated as published on the official BBB business profile for this practice. Accreditation is not an endorsement by the Better Business Bureau, and no endorsement is claimed or implied anywhere on this site. Martindale-Hubbell® is a registered trademark of Thomson Reuters, and a peer review rating is not an endorsement of any particular outcome. Where third-party ratings are described, they are reproduced as published and are subject to change by the organisation that assigns them.
No client testimonials are published on this site. Where an experience is described, it is drawn from the practice’s own records or from a verifiable public source, and not from client endorsement.
Intellectual property
The text, layout, graphics and code of this site are the property of the Law Office of Richard Cary Spivack unless stated otherwise, and may not be republished commercially without permission. Quotations for comment are welcome.
Accuracy of the office details
The office address, telephone number and other particulars are given in good faith and are believed correct, but availability of services, office hours and arrangements can change. Confirm anything time-critical by telephone on (718) 544-1000.
External links
This site links to court websites, the Office of Court Administration, the Better Business Bureau and map services. Those sites are not under the practice’s control, their content is not endorsed, and their own terms apply once you follow a link.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the practice accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on information published here, or from inability to access this site. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the State of New York. Any dispute concerning this website falls within the jurisdiction of the courts of New York County.

If you need advice, that is a phone call away.
These terms are about the website. They have nothing to do with whether the practice can help with your matter, which is a different conversation.
