Information, Not Legal Advice.  We are providing this information as a public service.  We try to make it accurate as of the date noted in the materials.  Sometimes the laws change.  We cannot promise that this information is always up-to-date and correct.

We do not intend this information to legal advice.  By providing this information, we are not acting as your lawyer.  If you need legal advice, you should contact a lawyer through your local legal aid organization.  Always talk to a competent lawyer, if you can, before taking legal action.

Lawyer Advertising.  This web site is not intended to be advertising or solicitation.  The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based on advertisements. Before hiring an attorney, you should investigate his or her reputation and qualifications.

Links.  Some of the items listed here have not been prepared by us, but are instead "links" to information prepared and posted by others.  We cannot guarantee the accuracy of information posted on other sites.  The links are not intended to imply that we sponsor or are affiliated or associated with the persons who created those sites, nor are the links intended to imply that we are legally authorized to use any trade name, registered trademark, logo, legal or official seal, or copyrighted symbol that may be reflected in the links.

E-mail.  Viewing this web site, or transmitting an e-mail message through this web site, does not create an attorney-client relationship.  Sending e-mail to an attorney mentioned in this site does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and the attorney. Unless you are already a client of the attorney, your e-mail may NOT be protected by the attorney-client privilege.  Moreover, unless it is encrypted, e-mail can be intercepted by persons other than the recipient. 

Deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters.  You may lose important legal rights if you do not obtain an attorney immediately to advise you.  Many people do not check their e-mail daily, and some attorneys do not respond to unsolicited e-mail from non-clients.

PALawHELP.org is provided as a public service by the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network, the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Legal Services Corporation.
