In the State of Florida, there are way too many attorneys.

That makes it convenient for those who what to blame someone else for their mistakes to respond to the attorney ads on TV.

If you don't have your records locked away, you will pay.

And there are lots of other reasons to retain records, but it is only an illusion of security if those records are online. So take great care before agreeing to accept confidential or identity related data from those who hire you.
