PLEASE NOTE the following:
An attorney-client relationship is not being established because of the information provided above;
an in person consultation is always best when you have a legal problem;
DO NOT RELY on information for a legal remedy without having contacted a lawyer;
facts and circumstances of every case have to be applied to the law that is relevant for the state or location in question;
NEVER rest on a right or defense you may have - legal rights are not like wine - they don't improve with age or time
time limits can completely prohibit recovery;
