Legal disclaimer.

Last reviewed and updated: May 11, 2026

This page collects the legal notices and protective disclosures that govern your use of davidnaumannlaw.com (the "Site") and any communications with David Naumann & Associates (the "Firm"). It is written in plain English where possible. Where Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct require specific language, that language is reproduced verbatim. Read it together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

1. Required advertising notice

This website is attorney advertising. It is intended to provide general information about David Naumann & Associates and the matters the Firm handles. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements — Missouri Rule 4-7.1. The Firm does not promise, guarantee, or warrant any particular result through this Site or in any communication arising from it.

2. Lawyer responsible for content

Under Missouri Rule 4-7.5(c), the lawyer responsible for the content of this website is David L. Naumann, licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri. The Firm's principal office is located at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4, Florissant, MO 63031. Telephone (314) 831-9350.

3. Jurisdictional limitation

David Naumann & Associates is licensed to practice law only in the State of Missouri. The Firm does not practice law in any other state and makes no claim of competence in any other jurisdiction. Information on this Site — including practice-area pages, articles, FAQ entries, the legal glossary, and the statute-of-limitations checker — addresses Missouri law only and may not apply to your matter if it arises in another state.

Visiting this Site from outside Missouri does not establish any attorney-client relationship and the Firm does not solicit clients in jurisdictions where it is not authorized to practice. If you are located outside Missouri and the Firm is unable to assist you directly, we may provide a referral to counsel in your jurisdiction.

4. No legal advice

Information on this Site — including practice-area pages, articles, FAQ entries, the legal glossary, the statute-of-limitations checker, downloadable resources, and any case-study or hypothetical example — is general in nature and educational. It is not legal advice. Legal questions are highly fact-specific. Statutes are amended, regulations are revised, court rules are updated, and courts decide cases that shift how the law is applied. Material on this Site may not reflect the most recent legal developments.

Do not act or refrain from acting based on information you find here without first consulting a qualified attorney about your specific situation. The application of any law to a particular set of facts requires individual analysis that no website can provide.

5. No attorney-client relationship

Visiting this Site, reading content here, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, or making an initial telephone inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and David Naumann & Associates or any individual attorney at the Firm. An attorney-client relationship is created only when (a) the Firm has confirmed in writing that we have accepted your matter and (b) both parties have signed a written engagement agreement specifying the scope of representation and the fee arrangement. Until both of those steps have occurred, you are not a client of the Firm.

6. Confidentiality of unsolicited information

Information you send to the Firm before we have agreed in writing to represent you is not protected as confidential attorney-client communication and may not be subject to attorney-client privilege. Please do not send sensitive, time-sensitive, or potentially incriminating information until we have confirmed acceptance of your matter in writing. The first step is always a phone call to discuss whether the Firm can represent you and whether a conflict of interest exists with another current or former client.

7. Email and electronic communication security

Email and online communication channels are not secure. Information sent over these channels can be intercepted in transit, stored on third-party servers, accessed without authorization, or disclosed in litigation involving third parties. For sensitive matters, please call (314) 831-9350. The Firm does not accept new-client communications through online forms; this Site has none for that reason.

8. Past results — no guarantee

References to prior case outcomes, settlement amounts, verdicts, dismissals, or representative matters anywhere on this Site — including the Results page, blog articles, practice-area pages, and any case study — are descriptions of past results only. Past results do not guarantee, predict, or warrant similar outcomes in any future matter. Each legal matter is unique. The outcome of your case will depend on the specific facts, the applicable law, the court, the prosecutor or opposing counsel, the judge, the witnesses, the available evidence, and many other variables outside any attorney's control.

Missouri Rule 4-7.1(b) restricts comparisons of a lawyer's services that cannot be factually substantiated. Any statement about prior results on this Site should be read in that light.

9. Testimonials and reviews

Client testimonials, online reviews, and excerpts from third-party platforms (Google, Avvo, and similar services) presented on this Site are individual experiences of past clients. They are not paid endorsements. They have not been altered to change their substance, though some have been edited for length or to remove identifying details at the client's request. Testimonials and reviews are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of the results of your specific matter.

10. No focus or certification claim

Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct (Rule 4-7.4) prohibit lawyers from claiming to be a "specialist" or "certified" in a practice area unless that designation has been granted by an organization accredited by the Missouri Supreme Court or the American Bar Association. David Naumann & Associates does not claim to be a "specialist" or "certified" in any practice area. References on this Site to "concentrating in," "focusing on," "experienced in," or "regularly handling" particular practice areas describe the Firm's regular practice but do not constitute a focus claim.

11. Comparative statements

Statements on this Site about the Firm's experience, length of practice, or approach are factual representations the Firm believes to be accurate at the time of publication. They are not comparisons to other lawyers or law firms and should not be interpreted as such. The Firm does not represent that its services are superior to those of any other lawyer or firm.

12. Statute and case-law currency

Statute citations (RSMo references), case citations, court rules, procedural descriptions, deadlines, fee schedules, and similar legal references on this Site — including in the legal glossary, blog articles, practice-area pages, and the statute-of-limitations checker — were believed accurate at the time of writing. Missouri law changes regularly. Statutes are amended, repealed, or replaced; case law evolves; court rules are updated; filing deadlines and fees change.

Do not rely on any specific citation, definition, deadline, or procedural description on this Site as the current state of Missouri law without verifying it with a qualified attorney or with the official source. The official Missouri Revised Statutes are available at revisor.mo.gov; current court rules are available at courts.mo.gov.

13. Article content and AI-assisted authorship

The blog articles, glossary entries, FAQ answers, and similar long-form educational content published on this Site are produced with the assistance of artificial-intelligence drafting tools and are reviewed by the Firm for legal accuracy before publication. They are written for the firm's general audience and are not attributed to David L. Naumann personally as the author. The Firm (David Naumann & Associates), not any individual attorney, is the publisher and the party responsible for the content under Missouri Rule of Professional Conduct 4-7.1.

Because of the nature of AI-assisted drafting, occasional errors — including stale statute citations, outdated procedural details, or unintentional ambiguity — are possible despite the Firm's review. All of the cautions in Sections 4 (No legal advice), 5 (No attorney-client relationship), and 12 (Statute and case-law currency) apply with particular force to AI-assisted content. If you spot an error, please notify the Firm at d_naumannlaw@msn.com so it can be corrected.

14. Hypothetical examples and anonymized case studies

Any case examples, settlement ranges, hypothetical scenarios, or "Recent Case Outcomes" tiles on this Site are for illustrative and educational purposes only. Anonymized case-study descriptions, where present, may have been simplified or composited; specific facts, ages, locations, amounts, and outcomes have been changed to protect client confidentiality. They are not predictions or guarantees of results in any other matter and should not be relied upon as a forecast of what your case is worth or how it will be resolved.

15. Third-party content and links

This Site may link to third-party websites — including government resources, court websites, statute repositories, news articles, professional associations, and review platforms. Such links are provided for the reader's convenience only. The Firm does not control those sites, does not endorse the views or content found there, does not guarantee their accuracy, and does not assume responsibility for any information, advice, products, services, or privacy practices of those third parties. Use of any third-party site is at your own risk and is governed by that site's own terms.

16. Fee structure and "free consultation"

Fee arrangements vary by practice area and are described in writing in a signed engagement letter before representation begins:

• Personal injury matters (car accidents, truck accidents, wrongful death, workers’ compensation, premises liability) are typically handled on a contingency-fee basis: no fee unless we recover.
• Criminal defense, DWI, traffic, expungement, and license restoration matters are typically handled on a flat-fee basis.
• Estate planning and probate matters are handled on flat-fee or hourly-fee arrangements depending on scope.

The "Free Consultation" offer that appears on this Site applies to the initial conversation only and does not establish or imply any specific fee structure for representation. Costs and expenses (filing fees, deposition costs, expert fees, medical-record retrieval, etc.) are separate from attorneys' fees in all matters and are addressed in the engagement letter.

17. Direct contact and solicitation

The Firm does not engage in in-person, live telephone, or real-time electronic solicitation of prospective clients with whom the Firm has no prior personal or professional relationship, except as expressly permitted by Missouri Rule 4-7.6. The Firm does not pay for client referrals in violation of Missouri Rule 4-7.3. The Firm does not share legal fees with non-lawyers in violation of Missouri Rule 4-5.4.

18. Conflicts of interest

Before accepting any new matter, the Firm conducts a conflict-of-interest check under Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct 4-1.7, 4-1.9, and 4-1.10. If a conflict exists or develops, the Firm will decline the matter or, where appropriate, withdraw under Missouri Rule 4-1.16. Submitting information through this Site or by telephone before a conflict check has been completed does not obligate the Firm to represent you.

19. Trust accounts and client funds

Client funds entrusted to the Firm — including settlement proceeds, retainers, and unearned fees — are held in a Missouri Lawyer Trust Account in compliance with Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct 4-1.15 and the Missouri Lawyer Trust Account Foundation rules. Client funds are not commingled with Firm operating funds.

20. Accessibility

The Firm strives to make this Site accessible to all users, including users with disabilities. If you have difficulty accessing any content on this Site, please call (314) 831-9350 or email d_naumannlaw@msn.com and we will provide the information in an alternative format.

21. Modifications to this disclaimer

The Firm may update this disclaimer from time to time without prior notice. The current version is always available at this URL. The "Last reviewed and updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. By continuing to use the Site after a change is posted, you accept the modified disclaimer.

22. Governing law and venue

Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of this Site, the information published on it, or any communication you send to the Firm through it is governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in St. Louis County, Missouri.

23. Severability

If any provision of this disclaimer is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
