A message through the site does not create an attorney-client relationship. - Cruise ticket deadlines differ by cruise line. No single notice period applies to every ticket. - Some matters are handled with, or referred to, another Florida lawyer. The client signs that fee division in writing before any fee is divided. - Attorney advertising.
