My General Policy About Questions: I welcome general questions about legal information on this blog or on my website alperlaw.com. Please send general questions by email. I try to answer many email questions each week provided that I can adequately respond in a short email reply. Keep your questions brief and to the point. My replies are meant to convey my initial impression pointing you in the right direction.

Please understand that I receive many email questions every day. Just because there is free legal information on this blog does not mean I feel obligated to answer every question from every reader.  If I do not respond to your question it may be that I don't know the answer without research, or I am busy working for clients, or I'm watching the game. Please don't take offense personally, and please don’t complain to my secretary.

I do not provide specific bankruptcy  advice to people who are not clients. Unless you have paid me legal fees you are not my client. If you are not my client, anything you tell me in an email is not protected by attorney-client privilege. Also, until you are my client I am not going to suggest in my email reply what you should do or should not do in your particular situation. Please do not ask me for, nor expect, free legal advice.

Initial Bankruptcy Consultations: This website provides readers comprehensive explanations of Florida asset protection law and Florida bankruptcy law. I have invested a substantial amount of my time providing this information to the general public without charge. Please understand that I do not have time now to provide individual readers additional free legal advice or free initial consultations to answer questions about their own situations. 

Bankruptcy Services: I file bankruptcy only in the Orlando Division serving central Florida which includes Tampa and Jacksonville. If you live in this geographical area and are considering filing bankruptcy you may call my office and speak first with my experienced bankruptcy paralegal, Jackie Royal, for an initial consultation. The purpose of an initial consultation is to determine whether or not bankruptcy will help you, whether you are eligible to file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and to discuss initially legal fees. If my paralegal finds that your bankruptcy would involve complex facts or unusual legal issues I may speak with you briefly as part of your initial consultation.

Many times I find that I can solve people' credit problems more effectively and for less money through asset protection solutions rather than bankruptcy.   If you want to meet with me to evaluate whether bankruptcy is your best option you should schedule an initial paid consultation with me in person or by phone. Your fee for this initial meeting will be credited to your bankruptcy fee in the event you decide to file bankruptcy within the following six months.

Disclaimer: If you send me an email question and you are not a client (see above) your email will not create an attorney-client relationship and neither your e-mail nor my reply will privileged or confidential communication. The information on this blog  is not all you need to know about the subject matter. These posts are just my personal opinions about different issues.  If you think you can rely on this blog to figure out answers to your personal legal problems and issues you are making a big mistake. Use common sense- if you have a legal question or problem, hire an attorney.
