Palo Alto, CA asked in Family Law and International Law for California

Q: Can I ask a confidential question that is not published on your website?

I would have to give enough information that it would be obvious who I am and that would compromise my position if it is published on your website. Thank you.

A: If you want to consult with an attorney without posting a question here on this website, use the "Find a lawyer" link at the top of the page and call someone directly and have a one-on-one, private consultation.
