Don't make the same mistake so many others have made by falling for this gimmick! Many have sought assistance from this site by posting information about some unfortunate situation, hoping to receive genuine assistance from someone more knowledgeable about how the law works.

The way it often works is this: you find what appears to be a professionally-run helpful legal website. Then you post something that reveals some sensitive information about your matter, or information that could be recognized by someone else on the other side of your matter. Then people reply to your post often with worthless information that completely miss the point, thereby taking your post and making it into something entirely different from what you had intended. When you try to put the post back on track, someone starts lecturing and admonishing you.

Then you come to the harsh realization that everything you have posted, as well as the replies, are discoverable by the opposing side to your matter. Worse, when you are deposed by opposing attorneys, you will be asked under oath and threat of perjury if you have ever posted anything about your case on any website, and about the specifics of it, so that it can be located and read by the people on the other side of your lawsuit!

So, then you want to have your post removed from "Expert Law". But guess what? There is no way to have it removed. First of all, you probably won't find any way to contact someone for assistance, and if you do, they won't reply to your request for assistance or be able to assist you. Even if you do find a way to contact someone who does reply, you will likely be scolded "Didn't you read the Terms & Conditions, whereby all posts are the property of the website Owner, and that you have forfeited all rights to your posts?". You are now officially screwed! You came for assistance, maybe because someone is taking advantage of you, and now you have become taken advantage of again.

Just be thankful you read this BEFORE you posted sensitive information.
