What is…?
You may have seen the Landry Law, PLLC posts on social media called “What is...?” In these posts, Landry Law, PLLC explains some common topics related to its practice, providing general advice.
In no case are these posts legal advice; specific to any situation (as they are written in the abstract); establishing any relationship between Landry Law, PLLC and the reader; or all-encompassing. Rather, they provide a general overview intended to begin the educational process for the reader, who is expected to follow up themselves with additional research or by contacting an attorney. (If you pick Landry Law, PLLC, I am thrilled, but I care most of all that you follow up with a good attorney to discuss and plan around your specific legal needs!)
