We have put a tremendous amount of energy into building what we believe is the very best website possible. There is nothing like it that compares. We did not plan on including a disclaimer of any kind. Didn't think it was necessary. Any right minded person who visits here knows that "it is what it is" (immortal words, to be sure). Meaning, general information, and that unless and until you hire us and we send you back our signed retainer agreement, we are not your lawyers. We good on this point? You hire us, we are your lawyer. At that point we owe you a duty to be good, honest, competent lawyers. We welcome that task. If you don't hire us, we are just ships passing in the night, and you stopped to admire our rig. OK?
Well, we thought about this. Alot. We think the whole site is great. And we think the information we have included is useful and that people should use it, regardless of whether they hire us or not. But then we thought, too, about our own Florida Supreme Court and the forms they created. The forms with the directions even most lawyers can't understand, let alone normal people. And then there is the matter of the Florida Supreme Court's own disclaimer that it publishes on its website and places on its forms, the ones that they want you to use. The very ones that the self help clerks at the courthouse will sell you. And it made us think.
If the Florida Supreme Court feels a disclaimer is required to protect it (c'mon, after all, it it the SUPREME court, the big enchilada) from some likely totally ridiculous lawsuit (you see, lawyers cannot take divorce cases on a contingency fee basis, which is why you have to pay by the hour; but tort lawyers are a different breed, altogether, and can "take a shot" for fun and greed), that would be brought in the name of some poor unfortunate sole who's divorce case turned out badly "on account of faulty, defective or inherently dangerous" forms, we figured...when in Rome (if you have to ask...).
So, we have taken the liberty of lifting, just about verbatim and with some slight modifications, the disclaimer the Florida Supreme Court uses to protect itself. If anyone comes here and reads this site and then goes out and mucks up their own case; well, don't come crying to us. And don't go looking for that contingency fee lawyer to try and win the Florida divorce lottery on us. We don't have so much money anyway, so go chase some other ambulance. Here goes, and you do understand the spirit in which this is being offered; to protect ourselves from idiots.
If you have questions or concerns about anything in this site, it is strongly recommended that you talk to an attorney. If you do not know an attorney, you should call the lawyer referral service listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book under “Attorney.” If you do not have the money to hire an attorney, you should call the legal aid office in your area.
Because the law does change, this site and the information in it may have become outdated. You should be aware that changes may have taken place in the law or court rules that would affect the accuracy of anything here.
In no event will Miller Law Associates, P.A., doing business under the trade name DivorceYes!, a law firm, the Florida Supreme Court, The Florida Bar, or anyone contributing to the production of this site or anything contained therein be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages resulting from their use.
If you agree with this disclaimer, you may continue to visit here and enjoy. If you do not, please leave and never come back. Thank you. |
