PERSONAL NOTE FROM MS. DRAIN:  It is sad that some members of our society have become so litigious that they believe it is acceptable, perhaps desirable, to sue anyone for anything.  The following disclaimers are intended to protect my firm from just such an attack from those with whom we have not established any attorney-client relationship and/or do not, would not or could not represent.  I apologize for having to put innocent folks through this discourse, but after all I am a lawyer and these warnings are very important.  Thank you for your understanding.
