Yes. Both of those are crimes and are serious. Any crime has potential jail time and fines, not to mention a potential criminal record. If you have a serious medical problem, you should contact a doctor. If you have a serious legal problem, you should contact a lawyer.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
