Terms of Use
What this website is, what it is not, and what reading it does and does not create between you and this firm.
Last updated September 14, 2026
These terms govern your use of this website, published by Wyatt, Underwood & Grasheim, an El Paso trial firm licensed in Texas and New Mexico. Using the site means you accept them.
This site is information, not legal advice
These pages describe Texas procedure and El Paso court practice in general terms, so that somebody with a problem can understand it before hiring anybody. That is all they are. They are not legal advice about your matter, and they cannot be: advice takes a lawyer who knows your facts, your record, your court and the deadline that actually applies to you.
Law changes, courts change their local practice, and a page written months ago can be out of date on the one point you need. Do not act, and do not decide to wait, on the strength of anything you read here. Talk to a lawyer about your own situation first.
Reading this site does not make us your lawyers
No attorney-client relationship is created by reading these pages, by using the free case review chat, by sending a message, or by leaving your telephone number. The firm becomes your lawyer only when it agrees to take your matter and you and the firm sign a written fee agreement.
Until that happens you are not a client, no deadline in your case is ours to protect, and nothing on this site is a commitment to take your case.
Do not send confidential information through this site
Please do not send anything through this website that you would not want read by someone who is not yet your lawyer. Information sent through the chat, by electronic mail or in any other form on this site may not be treated as privileged or confidential before the firm has agreed to represent you, and sending it does not create a conflict that would keep the firm from representing someone else in the same matter.
Tell us the general nature of the problem and how to reach you. Keep the details for the call. If it is urgent, telephone (915) 485-9100 rather than writing.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome
Any description of experience, past matters or results anywhere on this site describes work that is finished. Every case turns on its own facts, its own evidence, its own court and its own law. Nothing here predicts, promises or guarantees anything about your matter, and no honest lawyer would offer you that.
Attorney advertising
This website is a communication and an advertisement under Part VII of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, which govern lawyer advertising in Texas. Elena Grasheim, managing partner, is responsible for its content. The firm’s principal office is 705 Texas Ave #100, El Paso, TX 79901. No lawyer at the firm is certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Where the firm is licensed
The firm is licensed in Texas and New Mexico. Nothing on this site is an offer to practice law anywhere the firm is not admitted, and nothing here is written about the law of any other state. A matter that arose in Doña Ana County may be governed by New Mexico law even though you live in El Paso.
Links to other sites
Where a page links to a court, an agency or another outside source, it does so because the information is useful. The firm does not control those sites and is not responsible for what they say or for what they do with your information.
The site itself
We work to keep these pages accurate and available, but the site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, and the firm is not liable for any loss arising from your use of it or from your being unable to use it.
Changes to these terms
The firm may update these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed, and using the site after that date means you accept the version then posted.
Governing law
Texas law governs these terms and any dispute arising out of them, without regard to conflict of law rules. Venue lies in El Paso County, Texas.
