Re: Subcontracting Questions

Brian,
Attorneys have to be careful not to give the impression they are
representing someone AS THEIR ATTORNEY -- unless they are, of course.
It would affect other things besides liability, for example attorney-client
privelege or conflict of interests. People might suppose that because they
chatted with an attorney, he or she represents them. If you dont have a
signed agreement, you probably shouldn't assume an attorney is representing
you.

Hope this helps.

p.s. I read that someplace, but I'm not an attorney, I didnt even go to law
school, and I'm not representing you ;-)
