LISA provides legal information, not legal advice. Legal information helps you understand the law and your options. Legal advice — applying the law to your specific facts and advising a specific course of action — can only be provided by a licensed attorney. LISA is designed to bridge the gap: knowledge first, so any conversation with an attorney is informed and efficient.
