Information Not Legal Advice. This web site has been
prepared for general information purposes only. The information on this
web site is not legal advice. Legal advice involves the application of
legal knowledge and skills by a licensed attorney to your specific
circumstances.
Also, court rules vary from county to county as well as from state to
state, so some information on this web site may not be correct for where
you live. Laws also change frequently so the information contained in
this web site is not guaranteed to be up to date.
Therefore, the information contained in this web site cannot replace the
advice of a competent attorney licensed in your state.
Lawyer Advertising. In some jurisdictions this web site
may be considered lawyer advertising. The hiring of a lawyer is an
important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements.
Any listing of an attorney does not constitute a recommendation of the
attorney. Before hiring any attorney, you should investigate the
attorney's reputation and qualifications.
Links. This web site contains links to other resources on the
Internet. Those links are provided as citations and aids to help you
identify and locate other Internet resources that may be of interest,

are the links intended to state or imply that we are legally authorized
to use any trade name, registered trademark, logo, legal or official

E-mail. Viewing this Web site , or transmitting an
e-mail message through this Web site, does not create an attorney-client
relationship. Sending e-mail to an attorney mentioned in this site does
NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and the attorney.
Unless you are already a client of the attorney, your e-mail may NOT be
protected by the attorney-client privilege. Moreover, unless it is
encrypted, e-mail can be intercepted by persons other than the
recipient. Deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters. You
may lose important legal rights if you do not hire an attorney
immediately to advise you. Many people do not check their e-mail daily,
and some attorneys do not respond to unsolicited e-mail from non-clients.
