A Little Knowledge can be a Dangerous Thing

That old saying is a little misleading, I think there is a good argument that knowledge is always good, the more one knows the better.  The old saying comes up a lot in my line of work, I hear from people who have seen material online that tells them a little bit about how the legal system may work, but, it is not helpful, or, downright harmful to their case.  The info they find online may be completely wrong, or, it may be true for a different state, or, a different type of legal situation than what they have.  

Doing your own research online can be a good supplement to the legal advice you are getting, or, a way to get background information.  Be careful though, just because it comes up on your computer does not mean it is true, anyone can post anything, it is not fact checked, we all hear about wacky online conspiracy theories and false information floating around online.  You do not want to go to court and quote false information, or, information that may be true for a different state, but, not the one you are in.

When you are online, clicker beware.
