California Rules of Evidence says that a communication between a lawyer and his or her client or potential client in the course of seeking legal advice does not loose its privileged nature simply by electronic transmission. Nevada has not passed a similar statute, but it seems likely to follow the California lead.  Therefore, email to us is probably entitled to be considered confidential for purposes of the admission into evidence although other jurisdictions may rule that email may not be used for attorney client confidential communication

If you use email to contact us, please note that even if it is privileged, email is not private .  An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or employer network server could intercept any message.
Communications with co-workers and non-attorneys is usually not privileged.
A message to a co-worker may be forwarded to an adverse party. Do not say anything in an email or web posting to a non-attorney that you would not say directly. Email messages to non-attorneys are often saved electronically and may have to be produced in discovery later (unless it is privileged). Typically, the computer at work belongs to the company. Do not use it for personal communications.
