The Prepared Expert — The H Hansen Group, LLC

By enrolling in or purchasing access to The Prepared Expert (the "Course"), you agree to be bound by the terms below. If you do not agree to these terms, do not enroll.

1. Nature of the Course — Not Legal Advice

The Course does not constitute legal advice, legal services, or legal representation of any kind. The H Hansen Group, LLC is not a law firm. Course instructor Heather Hansen is a formerly practicing attorney who now works exclusively as a communications consultant, speaker, and educator.

You understand and agree that:

The Course teaches communication skills, not legal strategy or legal advice
You are solely responsible for obtaining independent legal counsel regarding any legal matter, case, deposition, or testimony
Nothing in the Course materials should be construed as guidance on the legal merits of any matter
The Company makes no representations regarding outcomes in any legal proceeding

Your application or misapplication of any technique, method, or framework taught in the Course
Any reliance on Course content as legal advice or legal guidance
