I am an attorney (CA, USA), but NOTHING on this site is “LEGAL ADVICE.” “Legal advice” is what I give people I have agreed to take on as clients, ONE ON ONE, knowing all the facts about their particular situations and having gathered the latest, greatest law that applies. What’s in here is just the best general information I can scrounge before I post. So, if you have something important riding on an issue I write about here, PLEASE become a good attorney’s client and get her or his legal advice before deciding what to do. If you don't, I'm irresponsible - oops, I mean I'm "not responsible."
Opinions I express on this page are mine, and not necessarily those of anyone or anything else connected with me in the past, present or future. So please don’t blame them if I irritate you. Thank you.
