Avoiding Liability When You Train, Shelter or Adopt Out

What people write to Attorney Phillips...

Mr. Phillips,

Thank you very much for your information yesterday. My 7 y.o. daughter has been bitten by a pit-bull. There are no words to express how grateful I was for two things. First, your website, which has all the necessary information to guide a parent. Second, the advice you gave me freely.

Before I wrote to you, I had spoken with two doctors and two vets, and all of them put together were not able to give me clear instructions on the steps I needed to take, which I have learned from you. Thank you very much for your thorough instructions.

When our child was bitten, we were in a lot of panic and were not sure what to do. During this awful time I was grateful there was someone who knows the subject completely.

With deep gratitude, Maria
