Legal and More General Disclaimers to Cover My Ass

I, Alexander Mirvis, am not a licensed attorney in any state, nor have I ever been one. Every case I have negotiated or helped settle has gone through the necessary chain of authority. When I receive an offer from an insurance company, I relay it to the attorney, who discusses it with the client. The ultimate decision about whether to accept an offer belongs to the client. This book is not legal advice. If you have a specific question about a case or legal matter, consult a licensed attorney.

1.) This book is not legal representation or legal advice. I am not an attorney. It is not written to give you case-specific advice or teach you how to settle a claim. It is a platform for me to vent about my job and expose the stupidity I have encountered on both sides of the aisle, from plaintiffs and their attorneys to defendants and insurance carriers. After all, writing a book is cheaper than therapy and potentially more profitable.

2.) This book is not medical advice. I am not a doctor. Do not diagnose yourself based on anything in these pages. If something hurts, go see an actual medical professional. Do not be stupid!

3.) As a settlement negotiator, I do not have unilateral authority to settle cases. Any offer I obtain from an insurance company is relayed to the attorney and then discussed with the client. The attorney advises the client about whether to accept the offer, continue litigating, or take the case to trial. If the client accepts the offer, I help finalize the settlement.
