hawk01, you should read the "Important Notice" at the bottom of this page.
While there are several attorneys who respond to posts on this site, you should take all advice offered on this site (regardless of who offers it) as general information only. The volunteers may or may not have a legal background, but most of the volunteers will have legal knowledge or be skillful researchers, and most of the volunteers who post here regularly are really really really smart (although there are, admittedly, a few idiots who post here, too
).
So, you should take what you learn here and then seek legal advice from an attorney in your area, who has access to all of the facts, and can personally review all of these facts, and advise you accordingly.
(as a note: You Are Guilty is one of the best and the brightest of the volunteers on this forum, so you have been advised well)
