disclosures. Please read the following carefully:
* THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT. The determination of the need
for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely
important decisions and should not be based solely upon
advertisements. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently
investigate the lawyer's credentials and ability, and not
rely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Hiring
a lawyer is an important process that should not be based
solely upon advertisements.

services to be performed is greater than the quality of
legal services performed by other lawyers. Memberships and
offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical
and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific,
technical and professional associations and societies of
law or fields of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a
specialist, expert, authority or is certified in a particular
field of law, nor do such memberships or licenses mean that
such a lawyer is more expert or competent than any other
lawyer.
* A description or indication of limitation of practice
does not mean that any agency or board has certified such
lawyer as a specialist, expert or authority in an indicated
field of law practice, nor does it mean that such lawyer
is more expert or competent than any other lawyer. We urge
all potential clients to make their own independent investigation
and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.
