To all:
I just wanted to briefly address the issue of PMs. I have been flooded with PMs, concerning very specific legal questions about individual cases. Besides the fact that I am quite busy and have very little time to answer, these also present some ethical issues.
I am always happy to answer basic factual questions, provided that the person has demonstrated that he or she has done some research first. I do ocasionally offer an OPINION as to the merits of a particular course of action or decision, which may or may not involve some analysis. All these responses are subject to my general disclaimer.
It would be unethical for me to give answers to very specific legal questions regarding specifically YOUR legal case. First, I could not possibly give you a correct and well-researched answer, since I do not have time to do thorough research, nor do I have all the facts of your case. Second, I am NOT YOUR ATTORNEY.
Therefore, I shall no longer answer PMs directed to me. I will be happy to answer questions on the public forum when I have time. I apologize to those who have PM'd me recently, but I have decided that that would be the best and most ethical way to deal with it. Best of luck to everyone on here.
