I understand that by asking Harry a question, I am not creating an attorney-client relationship or receiving legal advice. Any question I submit will not be treated as privileged or confidential and may be posted along with its response on www.AskHarry.info so others with similar issues can benefit from the response. However, my name, e-mail and city will not be posted or made public in association with the posted question and response. I understand that Harry may not be able to respond to my question at all, but if it does he will do so in a general manner on which I cannot rely as legal advice. If I want a specific legal response and guidance, I will seek independent legal counsel from an attorney duly licensed in my state.
