Publisher's Disclaimer: This Internet publication is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information about the subject matter covered. This web site is published with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in rendering psychological, counseling, financial, legal, engineering, or other professional services. If one needs expert assistance or counseling, then one should seek services of a competent professional.
Media Presentation Disclaimer: The Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling requires that "When licensed professional counselors provide advice or comment by means of public lectures, demonstrations, radio or television programs, prerecorded tapes, printed articles, mailed material, or other media, they take reasonable precautions to ensure that (1) the statements are based on appropriate professional counseling literature and practice; (2) the statements are otherwise consistent with the Code of Ethics and the Standards of Practice; and (3) the recipients of the information are not encouraged to infer that a professional counseling relationship has been established." We agree with this statement. Personal Public Statement Disclaimer: The Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling requires that "When making personal statements in a public context, licensed professional counselors clarify that they are speaking from their personal perspectives and that they are not speaking on behalf of all counselors or the profession." We agree with this statement. The "We're Not Lawyers" Disclaimer: This web site is provided for your information only and should not be relied on as legal advice, mostly because we're not lawyers. Nothing transmitted from this web site constitutes the establishment of a professional relationship with Oakes & Oakes., Rehabilitation Consultants, Inc., Barry Oakes or Marilyn Oakes. Please remember that some of the information at this site deals with Alabama phenomena, but we also discuss national and federal items. Please remember that we present much information that we initially wrote for lawyers to read, especially the RCI Newsletter formerly known as "Letter Bombs.". Application of principles discussed at this site may differ substantially in individual situations. Do not rely on these materials without first seeking the advice of an attorney or other competent, relevant professional about your particular situation and facts. Rehabilitation Consultants, Inc., Oakes & Oakes., Barry Oakes, and Marilyn Oakes do not guarantee the accuracy of any information available through the links you will find at this web site. Nothing contained at this web site should be construed to constitute a recommendation or endorsement of any product, service, or site. We don't mind answering questions, but please remember that transmissions on the Internet are not always confidential. You are transmitting this information at your own risk. Please also remember that no professional relationship is established (i.e., we will not work on anyone's case or for any business, government entity, attorney or referral source) until we have reviewed the case, decided to accept the case and notified the referral source that we accept the referral. Essentially, we do not agree to help anyone just because we have received information or even because we may have answered questions. The "All Purpose" Disclaimer: No representation is made that the services described here are qualitatively superior to any other professional practitioners in our fields of expertise. First Amendment Disclaimer: Most importantly, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assembly, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Our opinions are ours, personal, and protected by the First Amendment. U.S. fighting forces died for our precious right to say what we think and we are profoundly grateful to exercise our free speech rights under the First Amendment.
