• At no time is a lawyer-client relationship fostered or created with us through the performance of any such Lawyer Services.

Any agreements regarding legal services or fees must be done outside the scope of the Directory and are strictly between the user and the third party and do not involve us in any way. We do not receive any portion of any law firm's or lawyer's fees.
