In this era of electronic advances, it has become less common for people to use pens as part of their daily lives. We transact business, pay bills, correspond with friends and relatives, give ourselves reminders, draft and edit entire contracts without ever putting ink to paper. If you are holding a pen, chances are that you are about to sign something – a contract, a lease, or an agreement. If you are about to sign something, you should be contacting an attorney first.
