Contact
Don't jeopardize your case or even your personal
safety by revealing your efforts to obtain legal counsel.
Contacting an attorney can invite scrutiny and even
retribution from your employer, business partners,
spouse, or even government agencies. If you have a
sensitive legal issue, contact us using a method
that is likely to evade detection.
Telephone
There is nothing simpler than picking up the phone and
dialing 214-443-9900. But remember, the party paying the
phone bill can obtain a record of your call and easily
identify who you were calling. That's why we encourage
you to call from your personal phone and not your
work phone.
In some cases, like divorce for example, it is prudent
to avoid both work and personal phones. Consider
borrowing a phone from friends or family in order to
make your initial contact undetected and we will arrange
a discreet method for future contacts.
Regular Email
Expect no privacy when using regular email, and be aware
that your email messages and any attachments will likely
persist
forever.
Do not contact us using your work email address, especially
if you work in financial services, legal services, healthcare,
or government. In these and other occupations, your employer
may be required to monitor and retain all email traffic.
You may wish to contact us using your personal email account.
Just make certain you are not using a computer, smartphone, or
Internet access point provided by your employer when you access
your personal email account. Even if you're confident
about the privacy of your personal emails, it is best to
make your initial contact with us both brief and vague.
"I am aware of a company defrauding the government on a
construction contract"
is sufficient detail to alert us to your issue.
Encrypted Email
This is the most secure method for contacting us, but it
can be technically challenging and it is not necessary
in every case. Still, if you possess evidence of fraud,
corruption, mismanagement, or illegal practices perpetrated
by your employer or co-workers consider using encrypted
email.
Configuring encrypted email is a complicated topic that we
do not cover here. PC users will find instructions along
with a free, open source implementation of the OpenPGP
encryption standard at
www.gpg4win.org.
Apple users should visit
gpgtools.org.
If all this leaves you baffled, check with your friendly
local computer wizard. Many people in the tech world use
encrypted email and are familiar with its operation.
Our public key, which you will need in order to send us encrypted
email, is available
