Will the real lawyer please stand up?

Monday, July 9, 2007 by Kathleen A. Hunt

I just got a call from a woman in another state. She’d been
reading my blog, she said, and she just wanted someone to talk to about her
situation. Well, I’m only qualified to give legal advice in California,
so that’s what I told her - and then I listened. She had some real concerns, so
