Washington General Rule 27 Disclaimer is a legal document used by Washington state attorneys to inform the public of the limits of their legal advice. It is primarily used to protect the attorney from any claims by the client that may arise from the attorney's advice. The disclaimer typically includes a statement that no legal advice has been given and that the attorney is not responsible for any damages that may arise from the client's reliance on the advice. There are two types of Washington General Rule 27 Disclaimer: a standard version and an expanded version. The standard version includes a statement that the attorney is not providing legal advice and that the client should seek independent legal counsel. The expanded version includes additional language that further clarifies the limitations of the attorney's advice and the extent of the client's responsibility.
