These Terms and Conditions govern your use of amatteroflaw.com (the “site”), operated by Whiting Hagg & Dorsey, PLLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the firm”). By visiting or using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site. Please also review our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use the information you provide through this site. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version posted here is always the one that applies.
Attorney Advertising and Legal Information
This site may be considered attorney advertising under the South Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct. John Stanton Dorsey is the attorney responsible for its content, and our office is located at 616 6th Street, Rapid City, SD 57701. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and prior results we describe here, including case results and client reviews, do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case. For more detail, please see our Disclaimer page.
Use of This Website
You’re welcome to browse this site, read our blog and practice area pages, and use our contact form to reach out about a potential case. You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and not to:
- Copy, scrape, or republish our content without permission
- Attempt to access any part of the site you’re not authorized to use
- Interfere with the site’s security or normal operation
- Use the site to transmit anything unlawful, harmful, or infringing on someone else’s rights
We built this site to help people understand their legal options and reach our office. If you misuse it, we reserve the right to restrict or end your access.
No Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidentiality
Using this site, including our contact form or any chat feature, does not create an attorney-client relationship. We represent a client only once we’ve reviewed the facts of their situation and both sides have signed an engagement agreement.
Because this site isn’t a secure or encrypted channel, please don’t send us confidential, privileged, or sensitive information through our contact form, email, or any public area of the site before we’ve agreed in writing to represent you. We can’t guarantee the confidentiality of information sent before that point, and submitting it doesn’t obligate our firm to take your case.
Electronic Communications and Consent
If you call us, text us, or submit your information through our contact form, you agree that we may contact you by phone, text message, or email to follow up on your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply to text messages, and you can ask us to stop texting you at any time. Contacting us this way doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship and doesn’t guarantee that we’ll be able to take your case.

The text, images, logos, and design of this site belong to Whiting Hagg & Dorsey, PLLC, or to the licensors who gave us permission to use their work, and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You’re welcome to view and print pages from this site for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or republish our content, including our blog posts or case results, without our written permission.
Third-Party Links
This site may link to websites we don’t own or control, including news sites, court resources, or organizations we work with. We aren’t responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those sites, and linking to them isn’t an endorsement.

Severability
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in full effect.
