What are those legal disclaimers?
The legal section was described in a previous post, Find Help With Legal Issues. Since then, we've received some questions about the disclaimers on some pages of that section. These disclaimers are part of working in the legal world and most of the ones at our site have a simple explanation.
In order to bring you the best law-related information and services, many of our featured resources allow you to resolve legal issues without consulting directly with an attorney. For example, if you generate a simple legal form online and use it, no lawyer will be directly involved (and you probably will save a ton of money as a result). Most of the disclaimers arise because of the obligation to remind you that it's always safest to consult an attorney about law-related matters. Therefore, it is a sign of a good legal-related site that a disclaimer is displayed!
The resources featured at Do The Research were selected after we made sure that they offer legitimate and useful services. Hundreds of thousands of people have used many of the resources without any problems (but we still need to include the disclaimers). We strongly encourage you to visit our directory and learn about and try them yourself.
Additionally, many of the resources make it easy to find a lawyer if you decide that would be better for your needs. We do, too. One of the favorite resources in the legal section is LegalMatch, a free service that helps people anonymously find matches to pre-screened attorneys that meet their needs. (Click here to read our directory information about them or see the ad below.)
Lastly, you might have noticed that there have been some updates to the legal section recently. They're almost done and will be discussed in a couple of upcoming blog posts--so stay tuned!
