There are two types of disclaimers/terms of use.
The first has to do with copies, etc. of the material on this site. That is detailed on the FAQ. Those terms are subject to change without notice.
The second is a typical legal disclaimer, borrowed with permission from a famous web site.
Both are in effect as to this entire web-site and both are contractual, taking effect when you use, read, copy or interact with any part of this web-site. Note that there is also a binding arbitration agreement.
In addition, at my option, both of these disclaimers/terms of use are subject to referral to binding arbitration before the arbitrator of my choice (depending on the nature and type of the claim and the specific and special needs of each situation).
Being lawyers, our homepage would not be complete without a legal disclaimer. Accepting the terms of the disclaimer is a condition to visiting our site. To our friends on the Net, we are sorry to condition our site on disclaimers. In a perfect world we wouldn't need this disclaimer, but in a perfect world, you wouldn't need lawyers either.
Our website and the materials contained in the site are copyrighted. That means terrible things can happen to you, including being drawn and quartered, if you copy or alter anything we publish at the site. We give all webbers the permission to copy our legal disclaimers, however, since limiting legal liability on the net is something we all want. Just don't blame us if it doesn't work. Also feel free to link to us.

Note, I am in a captive law firm and do not take clients, which means that I'm not going to accept a potential client as a client who approaches me directly.
