with Peterson & Associates, P.C. or another firm to
speak with an attorney directly, or respond through our

Associates, P.C. will attempt to respond to any

This website is not intended for soliciting clients and
does not propose any type of such transaction. The
determination of whether you require legal services and
your choice of which lawyer to retain are very important
matters that should not be based on websites or
advertisements.
YOU ARE NOT RETAINING AN ATTORNEY
I understand and agree that submitting information
through the internet, or submitting information through the
web page to Peterson & Associates, P.C. and/or any other
associated counsel constitutes a request for legal advice
and 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
thereafter enter into a written agreement to be provided
with legal representation or legal advice, you are not
retaining Peterson & Associates, P.C. or any attorney
associated with Peterson & Associates, P.C., or relying
upon the submission of information in any way. I agree
that any information I may receive in response to
information I submit over the internet or in verbal
communications with any representatives of Peterson &
Associates, P.C. is general information and I will not
be charged for any response at this time. I further
understand that the law for each state may vary, and
therefore I will not rely upon this information as legal
advice. STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS MAY BAR YOUR CLAIM(S)
I understand that statutes of limitations are running
and that when they expire I will be precluded 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 its
expiration.
PETERSON & ASSOCIATES, P.C. ASSUMES NO LIABILITY
Under no circumstances shall Peterson & Associates, P.C.
or any other party involved in the creation, production
or hosting of this website be liable to you or any other

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.
