Flanagan makes available the information and materials on the website (the “Materials”) for general informational purposes only. The Materials are not intended to constitute, and do not constitute, legal advice.

Anyone accessing the Materials should not act upon them without first seeking legal counsel. Further, the Materials are general in nature, and may not apply to particular factual or legal circumstances. We are very proud of the results we obtain for our clients, but you should know that past results afford no guarantee of future results; that every case is different and must be judged on its own merits; and that the choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.
