In reply to AKC, a question?, posted by Greg on August 15, 2001, at 12:20:13
> I think I remember you mentioning awhile ago that you are a lawyer specializing in employment law (I could be wrong, the memory isn't what it used to be). If that's correct, would you mind if I asked you a question regarding my last employer?

> GregYou got the right person, sort of -- people get this mixed up all the time. I specialize in employee benefits -- so I am an expert (or will be, I'm still fairly young as a lawyer) in drafting pension and welfare (health, cafeteria, etc.) plans and helping employers administer them. I do know a little employment law (like FMLA and HIPPA and Mental Health Parity Act), but that is because I have picked some up because you do so in my area of law (some overlap) and because I have a personal interest.
You could ask me your question, but I will be real hesistant to answer -- I worry about giving legal "advice" via the internet. It is really no different than some of the ethical issues that mental health professionals are facing in regard to the internet. But I may be able to point you in a direction where you can get it answered. Is that okay?
