The attorney will meet with me for a limited amount of time and will do his/her best to answer my questions within that time.

The attorney has not investigated the facts of my case nor done research specific to my issues and will do his/her best to provide me general advice and information based on the information that I provide today.

Although the consult is confidential, it is not intended to create an “attorney-client” relationship.

I may choose to hire an attorney to represent me in this matter.

I may request another consult regarding the same issue discussed today if there are substantial changes to my situation, new information comes to my attention, or if my case progresses to a new stage.
