Company is not a law firm and does not engage in the practice of law, and our employees do not act as your lawyer or provide legal advice or representation. The Company Services are merely self-help services that you may use in your sole discretion. Company does not provide any kind of legal advice, explanation, opinion, or recommendation to you about possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies.

Any and all such recommendations are from third parties and are inherently subjective in nature, could be inaccurate or incomplete, and are difficult or impossible to verify.
