AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE.

OF USE, YOU MUST NOT USE OR MUST IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE YOUR
USE OF THIS WEB SITE.
1. Purpose of Web Site. This Web Site is
a service made available by PERSONAL-INJURY Law Firms.com. (“Provider”).
The information in the Web Site is for educational purposes,
and to give you general information and a general understanding
of the law in the United States, not to provide specific legal
advice. Although care has been taken to provide accurate and
current information, the general principles and information
presented at this Web Site may differ depending on local,
state and federal laws, regulations, and court cases. Because
the law constantly changes and varies from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction, and is subject to varying interpretations, the
reader is urged to consult professional legal counsel in his
or her state regarding the applicability of any points of
law discussed at this Web Site to any specific problem. This
Web Site should not be used as a substitute for competent
legal advice from a licensed professional attorney.
2. Lawyers Listings. This Web Site also
contains a searchable directory (the “Law Directory”) of lawyers
and law firms (hereinafter referred to as “Listees”). The
Listees provide the information in the Law Directory. Provider
does not warrant the validity of the information, nor does
it guarantee the quality of the work product of the Listees.
The determination of the need for legal services and the choice
of a lawyer or law firm are important decisions and should
not be based solely upon listings or a Listee's self-proclaimed
areas of practice. Provider does not review the content of
the listings that are provided by the Listees or any links
to the Web Site. Provider is not responsible for any material
or information contained in the linked sites or provided by
Listees. A description or indication of limitation of practice
by a lawyer does not mean that any agency or board has certified
such lawyer as a specialist or expert in any indicated field
of law, nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any
more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All users
of the Web Site are encouraged to make their own independent
investigation and evaluation of any Listee they might consider
hiring for professional legal advice.
