Editorial policy

How we write and review

Clear, careful information — and honesty about what we don't know.

Purpose

Each page focuses on one situation so readers find answers without wading through repetition.

Sources

Statements about rules, standards and deadlines should be tied to current official or primary sources. Where a rule varies by state, we say so rather than guess.

Review

Articles on this site are written from research and official sources, and are reviewed by the attorney named at the foot of every page.

What we won't publish

Invented testimonials, results, ratings, credentials or promises about outcomes or availability.

Corrections

If something looks wrong, tell us through the contact page and we'll review it.
