What are lawyers really? To me a lawyer is basically the person that knows the rules of the country. We're all throwing the dice, playing the game, moving our pieces around the board, but if there's a problem, the lawyer is the only person that has actually read the inside of the top of the box. -- Jerry Seinfeld
The Law Office of A. Joseph Ross, J.D. was a general civil practice concentrating in residential real estate closings and landlord-tenant matters. We remain available for non-litigation matters, such as legal advice, document review, and real estate transactions. Due to our semi-retirement, we can no longer take on new litigation matters.
WE CANNOT ANSWER LEGAL QUESTIONS OR GIVE LEGAL ADVICE BY E-MAIL. Sending e-mail to this office does not, of itself, create an attorney-client relationship. DO NOT SEND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BY E-MAIL. It may not be secure against being intercepted by outsiders.
