        CONSULTATIONS - (Testimonials)

• WHAT IS A CONSULTATION? A consultation is a private meeting with an attorney where the attorney: 1) listens to your concerns, 2) determines the legally relevant facts, 3) discusses what laws apply to those facts and how, and 4) Discusses your best options under the circumstances and possible outcomes.
• WHY A CONSULTATION? There are few short-answer questions about vaccine legal exemptions. They involve statutes, regulations, constitutions and legal precedent at the state and federal levels. In fact, the precise legal boundaries of vaccine exemption rights are undetermined in many instances, and the application of legal precedent can vary--sometimes dramatically--with individual circumstances and your geographic location.
• CONCERNS: As with other important legal matters, "what you don't know that you don't know" can get you into trouble with vaccine exemptions. See "An Introduction to the Law on Vaccine Religious Exemptions" for more insight. Also, attorneys who have not researched vaccine exemptions often speculate erroneously about it, so it is important to consult one knowledgeable in this specific area of the law. Finally, many credible Internet sites with good information about vaccine issues have incorrect information about vaccine legal exemptions, so make sure the information you rely on comes from a reliable source--many people have lost their exemption right due to a lack of good information. Even those whose exemptions are initially allowed may be at risk of a future challenge if they haven't complied strictly with the requirements.
• PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Local officials often resist efforts to exercise lawful exemptions to immunizations, so it is important to know your legal rights--and to be prepared to assert them in a potentially hostile environment. You can wait to see if there's a problem and consult an attorney if one comes up, but sometimes, that's too late--fixing a problem retrospectively can be difficult and costly. Getting proper legal advice in advance can prevent many problems from happening in the first place.
• COST: Alan Phillips' vaccine exemption consultations usually run about an hour and are modestly priced. If a Legal Opinion Letter or Affidavit is requested or required, there is an additional charge. Alan offers a sliding scale for low-income individuals and families--cost need never prevent you from getting the help you desire. Consultations may be in-person or over the phone. Contact Alan at the e-mail address below for more details.
• SCHEDULING: To schedule a private, confidential in-person or telephone consultation, or to request other legal services, contact Alan Phillips at the phone number below or send E-MAIL to attorney@vaccinerights.com.
• CONSULTATION ALTERNATIVE: While not a substitute for a private consultation, The Authoritative Guide to Vaccine Legal Exemptions provides valuable insight into the many legal and practical components of vaccine legal exemptions, and may help you better assess if an attorney's services are appropriate for you. top
