Disclaimer

DISCLAIMER UPDATE (4/21/21):  In addition to the full disclaimer below, please be aware that as of 2021, no further updates are being made to this blog.  As a result, the information on this blog may be outdated.  You should consult with an attorney to understand the current state of the law.  For more information, please review the final post on this blog by clicking here.

Since this is a legal blog, you must know there is a disclaimer. There are a number of important points to consider when reading my blog. First and foremost is that laws vary, sometimes dramatically, from state to state. This blog is only intended for readers whose legal issues are in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you have a legal issue in another state, I must recommend you review a blog by an attorney in your state. I will try to remind everyone that my blog applies to Virginia only in each post, but I may forget, so this is important to keep in mind. Unless I say otherwise, this blog only applies to Virginia.

My second disclaimer is that the advice in this blog is only general. Every case is different, and the general advice in my blog may not be applicable to your case. My purpose is to arm you with basic information. Only an attorney meeting you individually can say if the advice I give on this blog is applicable to your case.

My final disclaimer is that this blog is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. In other words, reading this blog does not make you my client in any sense of the word.  As a result, inquiries sent to me regarding this blog, outside of an effort to set up an actual consultation with me, are not protected by attorney-client privilege. Further, there is no warranty as to the validity of this advice, as stated above, to your specific case. It is always best to have an attorney when dealing with a challenging legal issue. If you choose to follow advice on this blog and not hire an attorney, you do so at your own risk.

If you have any questions about the contents of this blog, this disclaimer, or any related matter, my name is Samuel Leven, I am the attorney responsible for the content of this blog, and my office address is 2915 Hunter Mill Road, Suite 18, Oakton, Virginia 22124.  All opinions expressed in this blog are my own and are not endorsed or approved by The Baldwin Law Firm, the Virginia State Bar or any other entity.
