We further understand that the Statute of Limitations period for any case must be investigated, and that this Agreement is made subject to that investigation as well as an investigation of the entire case. 8. RESULTS NOT GUARANTEED: No attorney can accurately predict the outcome of any legal matter, accordingly, no representations are made, either expressly or impliedly, as to the final outcome of this matter.
