It is a sad fact of modern life that an individual will pay for his or her legal ignorance. It can happen that a consumer will sign a legal document, not fully understanding what it says.

Caveat emptor, “let the buyer beware” is an age-old warning to anyone who purchases a product from someone whom they do not know.

These can be legal battles that include custody rights, contract disputes, family immigration issues, or consumer complaints. Most supervisors are not attorneys and shouldn’t even try to address these problems. If a company has a group legal plan it can help keep domestic issues outside.
