In some jurisdictions this website may fall under laws and regulations governing lawyer advertising. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Any listing of an attorney does not constitute a recommendation of the attorney. Before hiring any attorney, you should investigate the attorney's reputation and qualifications.

Viewing this website, or transmitting an email message to the legal Benefits Counseling staff or to info@positiveresource.org through this website, does not create an attorney-client relationship between the legal Benefits Counseling staff or its funders and you. Until a Retainer Agreement has been signed and we agree to establish an attorney-client relationship, your email may not be protected by attorney-client privilege. Additionally, your email may not reach the intended staff and we may not respond to unsolicited email from non-clients. Unless encrypted, email can be intercepted by persons other than the intended recipient. Deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters, and you may lose important legal rights if you do not retain an attorney immediately to advise you. Please call the front desk at 415.777.0333 to be routed to a staff member within the legal Benefits Counseling Program, or to obtain information regarding eligibility criteria for potential legal representation.
