For over fifteen years this website has made available, free of charge, legal information which we believe is valuable to a wide variety of users and is nowhere else available on the web. Every month over 10,000 people use it. However, the work is not funded by any government subsidy. Therefore, requests for printed copies of these statutes or for ones not yet posted here cannot be filled. Similarly, we cannot provide free legal research services or provide free legal opinions. We do not have time to answer and will not respond to emails seeking these. Thank you for understanding.

A word of caution is in order: The laws of each state are different. The following Pennsylvania statutes, though available instantaneously over the web, may not be the current law. We attempt to post statutes which, at the time of posting, have not been repealed, the date of posting usually being referenced at the bottom of each page. However, court decisions overturning them, later statutes amending them, and a host of other factors come into play when interpreting them. They are provided here only as one resource among many available and should not be relied upon by anyone in matters of importance.

WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OF IMPLIED, INCLUDING (without intending to limit the generality of the foregoing) ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS or ANY WARRANTY OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT. This website may provide you with some information about the laws of Pennsylvania. However, a competent lawyer, who from other sources will research the law to insure what is current, should always be employed in matters of importance.

This is a free website, but we follow the shareware model. If after using this website you have found it to be helpful, we ask you to send a contribution ($20) to share in the maintenance cost to MARTIN LAW OFFICES, LLP, Post Office Box 392, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania 19348. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to keep this site on the web! Notes of appreciation we have received have been a great encouragement.

From time to time, however, we receive demanding emails. We include our email address on every web page only so that if someone discovers so called "dead links" or wants to suggest another link they will know how best to contact us about this web page. In most cases, however, we do not take the time to respond to emails seeking free answers to specific legal questions. Thanks for your understanding.

Web sites not under our control are freely referenced throughout these pages. If you find that a site marked "[off-site]" (meaning, not part of this website but linked from another website) has offensive matter or is no longer active, please advise us.

Please contact us if you know of additional links to Pennsylvania statutory laws (or other resources, for that matter) on the web. In the future, we hope to make some links among these statutes, court opinions, regulations, and treatises to utilize the potential of the web for legal research by anyone. You can be a part of the project by posting helpful resources and advising us of their web address so that we may link to them.
