Everyone’s situation is different. Further, no warranty or representation, express or implied, is made by CMR Associates, nor does CMR Associates LLC accept any liability with respect to the information set forth in such conversations. Further, such meetings do not constitute legal, tax, accounting, investment or other professional advice.
