How NOT to send me an e-mail
1. Send your e-mail from a computer that your wife has access to. This is a great way to make sure her lawyer gets to read what we write to each other.
2. Send your e-mail from a shared computer, where other people can read your e-mail; there is no attorney-client privilege unless only I can read your e-mail.
3. Send your e-mail from a company computer; Gmail will probably filter it as spam and I won't see it.
4. Send your e-mail from a public computer, where a record of what you wrote might be stored on the hard drive, a record that other people can read.
5. Send your e-mail using a wireless Internet connection that is not encrypted,
so other people can intercept it.
6. Write something strange and misleading in the header of your first e-mail,
so I will think it's spam and not an e-mail from a potential client.
I recommend getting an e-mail account that you only use for writing
to me and receiving e-mails from me.
You can get a free e-mail account -- that you can access any time you can get
on the Internet and from anywhere in the world -- from Gmail, America Online, Yahoo, Inbox, Hotmail -- there are many choices.
When you use an Internet-based e-mail service, your e-mails are stored on
the Internet, not on your computer, so nobody can read them except you . . .
as long as you keep your user-name and password secret and secure.
The header of your first e-mail to me should say something like "I need help
with my divorce" or "I want more time with my kids."
