Terms, Conditions, Disclaimers, Warnings and Other Law Talk
You knew this had to be somewhere — lawyers can’t go two minutes without qualifying themselves. So here’s mine.
If you cannot or will not accept my discussion below, please direct your browser somewhere else. If you read the content on the site, I’ll conclude that you agree to every word I have on this page.
Most importantly, I want to prevent any misunderstanding about the purpose of this website or about the relationship between me and you. Unless you have signed a written agreement with my employer, I am not your lawyer, and you are not my client.
My ramblings, digressions, statements, opinions, and thoughts here are not legal advice. You should not base any action involving your life, liberty, or the pursuit of property or happiness on anything I say here. Neither is this ongoing discussion an advertisement for legal services — I talk about things that I find interesting, and I do it as my version of public service and anyone who cares to take the time read what I have to say.
Because I am not your attorney, anything you post here is unprotected by any privilege, most specifically the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. Likewise, anything you email to me should not include anything privileged, confidential, secret, proprietary, or in any way sensitive information regarding any potential or current legal matter. There is no reason for you to think that I will not share everything you send to me with my wife, my family, my friends, and my coworkers, and even complete strangers. Emails that you send to me do not create an attorney-client relationship and any information or statements in those emails is not privileged, and not protected from disclosure.
Since I have taken great pains to not tell you who I work for, you should already know that my statements, opinions, thoughts, and digressions here may or may not coincide with the opinions and positions of my employer.
The statements and opinions I put forth here are not set in stone. They may change over time, as I grudgingly obtain more information, reflect in more detail on the issue, or just because my mood differs from day to day. Accordingly, do not expect me to hold these opinions or support my positions any longer than the time it takes me to type it and click the “publish” button.
In addition, while I do my best to provide good information, I do not promise, guarantee, or even claim that what I say here is complete, accurate, or remotely adequate for the purposes for which you might possibly try to use it. I trust even less (and so should you) the information residing on any link you might find in this blog.
Everything changes all the time, and the law is no exception. Adequate legal opinions, advice, and representation can only exist when specifically matched between a particular client, attorney, factual circumstance, and applicable law. Nothing that I say can, should be, or is intended to substitute for competent, in-person, legal counsel.
I am only licensed to practice in the great State of Wisconsin, and that’s why I geographically limit the topics that I discuss to the Badger State. Go Bucky!
As benevolent dictator of my blog, I reserve the right to reject any comment at any time for any reason.
