It should be understood that we can only provide answers to general questions, based on our knowledge of Florida and New York law. Answers to locality-specific questions and questions that deal with your Local or State laws should be addressed to a local Attorney in your area. Most local and state Bar Associations maintain a legal assistance/referral program wherein you can either get generic advice or actually speak with an Attorney, usually for a modest fee which goes to support the program.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OF GENERAL INTEREST WILL BE PUBLISHED PERIODICALLY ON THIS WEB PAGE. THE IDENTITY OF THOSE ASKING THE QUESTIONS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN ANONOMOUS, AND THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILAGE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN FORCE.
