The Fine Print
O.K., I’ll try to avoid legal jargon. The fact that you are reading this blog does not mean that I am your attorney or that I am giving you legal advice. I make every effort to get things right on this blog. But there may be times when I get something wrong, and if I do, you’ve been forewarned that you shouldn’t rely on the postings here as if they constituted real legal advice that you paid for, which you didn’t.
