Sending this does not create an attorney-client relationship. What I send is reviewed first only to the extent needed to check conflicts, is not confidential until an engagement is agreed in writing, and I should not send privileged material before then.

Read by John P. Henry. An AI service under a commercial agreement extracts and summarizes submissions so they can be reviewed the same day. It does not train on what is sent, and the provider deletes inputs and outputs within thirty days. Nothing it generates is sent to you — every reply you get is written by a lawyer. If you are opposing counsel, or a party represented by counsel, do not use this form.

What we keep
We keep what you send us, including if we don't end up taking your matter. We don't delete it on a schedule — removing a file is a deliberate decision, not an automatic one.

If you'd like what you sent removed, write to us and ask. We'll tell you what we can and can't remove, and why.

Prefer email? jhenry@jhenrylaw.com with the document attached works exactly as well.
