Last Updated on December 18, 2010.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEB SITE (HEREINAFTER "WEB SITE") YOU (HEREINAFTER "USER" or "USERS" or "YOU" or "YOUR") AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE WEB SITE AND ALL SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE WEB SITE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, YOU MUST NOT USE THE WEB SITE AND/OR MUST IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THIS WEB SITE, AND THE SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO YOU THROUGH THIS WEB SITE (HEREINAFTER "SERVICE").

1. Description of this Web Site

This Web Site and Service are made available by DotCO Law Marketing, L.L.C. (Hereinafter "PROVIDER"). PROVIDER IS NOT A LAWYER, ATTORNEY OR LAW FIRM. THIS WEB SITE IS AN ADVERTISEMENT OF LEGAL SERVICES, and may not reflect current legal developments or variances in the law of different jurisdictions. Nothing on this site should be construed as legal advice or used as a substitute for legal advice.

YOU SHOULD NOT ACT OR RELY ON THE BASIS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THE WEB SITE WITHOUT SEEKING AND RETAINING THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU SUBMIT INFORMATION REQUESTING THAT YOU BE CONTACTED BY AN ATTORNEY, YOU SHOULD NOT STOP SEEKING ADVICE FROM AN ATTORNEY UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY  HAVE RETAINED OR HIRED AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU.

This Web Site allows Users (You) to submit their personal information, which may then be forwarded to a law firm who pays Provider a marketing licensing fee. These law firms (Hereinafter "Subscriber[s]") pay Provider the licensing fee to receive information that is voluntarily submitted by Users on this Web Site. Once again, Provider, is not a law firm. Provider will not, cannot, and should not handle your legal case, matter, or legal issue if you have one. Rather, Provider merely facilitates your initial, voluntary submission of personal information to a paying Subscriber lawyer, attorney or firm. Provider does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant any services or information about the Subscribers. Provider does not receive any portion of any lawyer's, attorney's or law firm's fees and any arrangements subsequently made by You and Subscriber [or any lawyer, attorney, or law firm that is not a Subscriber of Provider] to pay them/her/him attorneys' fees are strictly between You and such Subscriber, lawyer, attorney and/or law firm and absolutely do not involve this Web Site, or Provider in any way. That being the case, Provider strongly encourages each User to carefully research any Subscriber, lawyer, attorney and/or law firm You consider using to represent You in any legal matter. For more information and guidance, please refer to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions of Use.

Again, this Web Site does not, and is not intended to, provide legal advice. Web Site and the Service are intended for User's personal use only. Neither Provider nor the Web Site, nor the Service is a lawyer referral service.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION THROUGH THIS WEB SITE?

  • Your submission of information on this Web Site DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP in any way. By submitting information to provider, You agree that we may release all of your submitted information to the Subscribers, and/or to other law firms and attorneys which are not part of the immediate Subscriber pool, and you further agree and understand that they may contact you directly should they have any interest in discussing your matter, case and/or legal issue with you, unless you requested in writing your desire not to be contacted. In no event, however, shall we be obligated to release any submitted information to our Subscribers or any other law firms, including contact names, but rather may or may not do so at our sole discretion.
  • Furthermore, in no event, is any Subscriber or other law firm or entity obligated to contact You with regard to your matter, case and/or legal issue, but rather may or may not do so at his/her/their/its sole discretion.
  • By Provider accepting the submission of your information, we do not offer any advice on whether you may have remedies under current law.
  • If a Subscriber elects, or chooses, to contact You, and after discussing your specific matter, case and/or legal issue with You, the Subscriber is willing to represent You in the specific matter, case and/or legal issue you have presented to him/her/them/it, the Subscriber will send you a retainer and/or employment agreement in the mail, and/or electronically, that you will need to sign and return before he/she/they/it can represent you in that specific matter.
  • If either the Subscriber or You do not agree in writing to create an attorney-client relationship, none will exist. In the meantime, you are encouraged to seek and retain the advice of other counsel so as to meet all applicable deadlines that govern your case.
  • You hereby agree that, by taking any of the actions described above, you are soliciting and requesting a contact by telephone, writing and/or electronically and, as such, you may be contacted by telephone, in writing and/or or e-mail as set forth in this Terms and Conditions of Use. This true notwithstanding the listing of Your telephone number and/or e-mail address in any applicable Do-Not-Call registries.

2. Content on Web Site Does Not Constitute Legal Advice

Again, content on this Web Site is not intended to, and does not, constitute legal advice and no attorney-client relationship is formed, nor is anything or any of the information you submit to Provider through this Web Site treated as confidential. The accuracy, completeness, adequacy or currency of the Content of this Web Site is not warranted nor guaranteed. Your use of the Content on this Web Site or materials linked from this Web Site is at your own risk.

3. Attorney & Law Firm Listings

All of the following provisions apply:

(a) Subscriber Info. The information about the Subscribers in the Service is provided by the Subscribers themselves. Provider does not review the content of the listings that are provided by the Subscribers or any links to/from the Web Site . Therefore, Provider does not guarantee, recommend, or endorse any information regarding the Subscribers abilities, certifications, representations, specialties, or information otherwise relating to Subscribers.
(b) Subscriber Qualifications. Provider does not guarantee, recommend, endorse, or otherwise have an opinion on the quality of any Subscriber's legal services, capabilities and/or expertise.
(c) No Warranty. Provider does not warrant the validity of the information provided by Subscribers to the Service or the information submitted by or exchanged between Users and Subscribers.
(d) User's Own Risk. Your (User's) use of this Web Site is entirely at Your (User's) own risk, and therefore Provider encourages each User to make his/her own independent investigation and evaluation of any Subscriber you might consider hiring/retaining for professional legal advice and legal services.

4. User's Discretion to Use this Web Site

Users have sole discretion whether to contact or be contacted by any Subscribers via the Service and nothing in the Service is intended or should be interpreted as directing a User to contact or select a particular attorney or firm. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of an Attorney, Lawyer or Law Firm are very important decisions and should not be based solely upon web site listings or a Subscriber's self-proclaimed areas of practice or expertise. Users are solely responsible for verifying a Subscriber's credentials and qualifications for determining the necessity and adequacy of a Subscriber's insurance coverage, and for the ultimate selection of any attorney, lawyer and/or Law Firm they might make.

5. No Attorney-Client Relationships or Agreements for Legal Representation Within Scope of Web Site or Service

All of the following provisions apply:

  • (a) No Privileges. Again, use of this Web Site, or Service, is not intended to and does not create a privileged, confidential or attorney-client relationship between Users and either Provider or its Subscribers.
  • (b) No Agreements. Any agreements regarding legal services or attorneys' fees must be done outside the scope of this Web Site and the Service and are strictly between the User and the Subscriber(s) and do not involve Provider in any way. Information contained on, or made available through the Web Site and the Service, is not intended to and does not constitute legal advice or counseling under any circumstance.
  • (c) Non Law-Firm Status and No Fee Collection. Provider is not a law firm. Provider does not receive any portion of any attorneys' fees or law firm's attorneys' fees.
  • (d) Provider's Non-Involvement. Provider is not involved in, nor responsible for, any transactions that might occur between Users and Subscribers. In fact, Provider does not, and cannot, guarantee that such transactions will even occur. Users and Subscribers are solely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations governing their interactions via the Service, including, with respect to Subscribers, compliance with all ethics and applicable state bar association's rules and regulations applicable to their practice. The attorneys names on this Web Site are attorney advertisements and do not constitute a referral, recommendation or endorsement by this Web Site or, except as otherwise provided in the Florida Rules, any approved or authorized lawyer referral service.

6. WARNING: Do Not Disclose Confidential Information

Again, nothing submitted to this Web Site is treated as confidential. Because of the nature of the World Wide Web, any and all information provided by You through this Web Site and its Service is subject to interception by third parties. You acknowledge that disclosure of electronic communications sent through the Web Site and its Service may occur. Therefore, You should not disclose any privileged, confidential and/or specific information regarding matters for which you are using the Web Site or its Service. Specific information to avoid disclosing includes, by way of example only, names of persons, businesses, and specific facts that would readily identify the other parties involved in the legal issue or dispute. Users must describe their issue or dispute in general terms only. Specific information should only be revealed outside the scope of the Service and after the User has selected an attorney and been in further contact outside the Web Site and the Service (e.g. via telephone or appointment).

7. Disclosures Regarding Attorney Advertising

THIS SITE MAY CONTAIN ADVERTISING MATERIAL OR LAWYER ADVERTISEMENTS
Some jurisdictions and geographical areas may consider the Web Site to be a form of advertising for legal services and, as such, may require specific disclosures. Please read the following carefully:

  • THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently investigate the lawyer's credentials and ability, and not rely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Hiring a lawyer is an important process that should not be based solely upon advertisements.

Neither Provider nor any of the Subscribers operate as a lawyer-advertising cooperative, lawyer referral service, prepaid legal insurance provider, or similar organization the business or activities of which include the referral of customers, members, or beneficiaries to lawyers for the performance of fee-generating legal services or the payment for or provision of legal services to the customers, members, or beneficiaries in matters for which they do not bear ultimate responsibility.

  • FREE BACKGROUND INFORMATION AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
  • Before you decide to hire any of the Law Firms, ask them to send you free written information about their qualifications and experience. Additional information about the lawyers or firms may also be obtained by contacting the Bar Association in the State in which such lawyers or law firms are licensed.

No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers who are not Subscribers.

Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or fields of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist, expert, authority or is certified in a particular field of law, nor do such memberships or licenses held by Subscribers mean that such a lawyer, attorney and/or law firm is more expert or competent than any other lawyer, attorney and/or law firm who is not a Subscriber.

  • A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist, expert or authority in an indicated field of law practice, nor does it mean that such lawyer is more expert or competent than any other lawyer. We urge all Users, or potential clients of lawyers, to truly make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.
  • Except where otherwise indicated by the Subscriber, neither Provider nor any of the Lawyers, Attorneys and/or Law Firms are certified by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education, the Texas Board of Legal Specialization ("Not Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization"), or any other entity or body. The fact that certain attorneys or firms concentrate their practices in the field of Immigration cases (or any other field) is not meant to imply that they have gained any specific type of certification in these areas. Indeed, many states do not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law and explicitly state that any such certificate, award or recognition is not a requirement to practice law in those states. You should check with the State Bar Association of Your particular state to learn how it handles attorney certifications in particular fields of practice. For Your ease, click HERE to locate Your state and local Bar Associations.
