YOU ARE NOT RETAINING AN ATTORNEY
I understand and agree that submitting information through the internet,

that I am not forming an attorney client relationship by submitting this request
or forwarding information over the internet. I understand that I may only
retain an attorney by entering into a written fee agreement, and that I
am not doing so at this time. No attorney-client relationship will be formed
unless and until I execute such an agreement. Peterson & Associates, P.C. will
attempt to respond to any information you submit, but unless we do so and you

STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS MAY BAR YOUR CLAIM(S)
I understand that statutes of limitations are running and, when they expire,
will preclude me from pursuing any claims I may have. Peterson & Associates,
P.C. is not providing any legal advice as to when these statutes began running
or when their deadlines may expire. I understand that I should seek legal advice
immediately from other than Peterson & Associates, P.C. if I believe the time
for pursuing any of my claims may be near their expiration.
PETERSON & ASSOCIATES, P.C. ASSUMES NO LIABILITY
Under no circumstances shall Peterson & Associates, P.C. or any other party

PETERSON & ASSOCIATES, P.C. MAY ASSOCIATE WITH OR CONSULT OTHER ATTORNEYS
Peterson & Associates, P.C., is a law firm based in Kansas City, Missouri. It
has attorneys licensed in the states of Missouri and Kansas. It has
relationships with law firms in most other states.
I understand that in evaluating any potential claim, Peterson & Associates, P.C.
may discuss details of my claims with co-counsel, associated counsel or other
attorneys with whom we anticipate working with or who handle similar claims. I
specifically authorize discussion of intimate details of any potential claim I
may have, including disclosure of medical information and other personal or
potentially privileged information. Since this matter may require advice
regarding the laws of my home state, I further agree that local counsel may be
contacted by Peterson & Associates, P.C. for referral of this matter.
STATE SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS
I understand that various State Supreme Courts and the Bar Associations of most
states do not review or approve specialist designations. Certain states, such as
Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Oregon, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nevada, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming require specific disclaimers,
which are listed below.
State Disclaimers
Alabama: No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be
performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other
lawyers.
Colorado: Colorado does not certify attorneys as specialists in any field.
Florida: The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be
based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free
written information about our qualifications and experience.
Iowa: The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a
lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon
advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. The following is required by rule
of the Supreme Court of Iowa:
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC:
Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and
professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional
associations and societies of law or field of practice do not mean that a lawyer
is a specialist or expert in a field of law, nor do they mean that such a lawyer
is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All
potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and
evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This notice is required by rule of
the Supreme Court of Iowa.
The filing of a claim or suit solely to coerce a settlement or to harass another
could be illegal and could render the person so filing liable for malicious
prosecution or abuse of process.
Mississippi: The Mississippi Supreme Court advises that a decision on legal
services is important and should not be based solely on advertisements.
Missouri: Past results afford no guarantee of future results and each case is different and is judged on its own merits. Some cases result in no recovery. Costs and expenses will be advanced and reimbursed to us only if you recover. You have no liability for costs or expenses unless a court directs. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Some matters may be referred to other lawyers. Neither the Supreme Court of Missouri nor the Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialist designations.
Nevada: The State Bar of Nevada does not certify any lawyer as a specialist or
expert.
New Mexico: LAWYER ADVERTISEMENT
Tennessee: None of the attorneys in this firm are certified as a Civil Trial,
Criminal Trial, Business Bankruptcy, Consumer Bankruptcy, Creditor's Rights,
Medical Malpractice, Legal Malpractice, Accounting Malpractice, Estate Planning
or Elder Law specialist by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal
Education and Specialization. Certification as a specialist in all other listed
areas is not currently available in Tennessee.
Texas: Unless otherwise stated, our attorneys claiming certification in an
area of law are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
Wyoming: The Wyoming State Bar does not certify any lawyer as a specialist or
expert. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently investigate the
lawyer's credentials and ability, and not rely upon advertisements or
self-proclaimed expertise.
