Terms of Use
Please note that the following terms and conditions apply to the use of this website.
No Attorney-Client Relationship Created by Use of this Website: Please know that just consulting this website, reading the information here or on our links, or contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Legal Direction has a process for accepting new clients, including investigating potential conflicts of interest and having you sign an engagement letter that spells out both of our obligations. For that reason, please do not use this website to provide confidential information about a legal matter to Legal Direction.
No Legal Advice Intended: This website includes information about legal issues and legal developments. This information is just that -- information. Web site articles and blogs are no substitute for a detailed and individual analysis of all the facts and circumstances of your specific situation. For that reason, the content of this web site and our links are not intended, and should not be taken, as legal advice. You need to hire an attorney to get information and advice specific to your situation.
No Guarantee of Results: Any case studies, representative matters or practice summaries of individual attorneys on this website may describe results obtained in matters handled for Legal Direction clients. These descriptions are meant only to provide information about the activities and experience of our attorneys. They are not intended as a guarantee that the same or similar results can be obtained in your matter; and you should not assume that a similar result can be obtained in a legal matter of interest to you. The outcome of a particular matter can depend on a variety of factors—including the specific factual and legal circumstances, the ability of opposing counsel, and, often, unexpected developments beyond the control of any client or attorney.
IRS Circular 230 Notice: In accordance with IRS requirements, this is to inform you that any information on this website that could be construed as U.S. tax advice is not written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed on this website.
Third Party Websites: We have included links to interesting and helpful sites. We cannot control the content or accuracy of these third-party sites, and assume no responsibility for the accuracy, or unfortunately, safety of these sites.
Authorized Practice of Law: Legal Direction attorneys are licensed to practice law only in North Carolina. Whether we can engage in any activities in behalf of a client outside North Carolina is subject to state statutes, professional codes and court rules. Legal Direction does not seek, and this website is not intended to solicit, legal employment outside North Carolina that would constitute the unauthorized practice of law.
