Questions & Answers on the Site

Generally, questions are limited to answers requiring no more than three hours of attorney time total for all answers to all questions per subscription period per Subscriber (not just per User). Once three hours of time has been reached, the Company will limit further questions from the Subscriber's account as it deems appropriate.

The answers posted are hypothetical and/or generally applicable and are not applicable to any specific set of facts or circumstance. Neither a question nor an answer establish any attorney-client relationship.
Questions must directly relate to the content of the page where the question is posted and must apply generally and not specifically to one particular HOA or unique circumstance.
