Terms of Use

Last Updated: [Date]

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) set out the conditions under which you may access and use the website operated by Brodkin Law (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The website, together with all of its pages, features, and content, is referred to throughout this document as the “Site.” Please review the following carefully before you continue.

Your Agreement to These Terms

By visiting, browsing, or otherwise interacting with the Site, you confirm that you have read these Terms and that you agree to be bound by them. If any part of these Terms is unacceptable to you, we ask that you refrain from using the Site. Your continued use following any update to these Terms will be treated as acceptance of the version then in effect.

Permitted Use of the Site

We make the Site available to you for lawful, personal, and non-commercial reference. You are welcome to read our pages and to keep or print a copy of individual pages for your own use. In exchange, you agree not to:

  • Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the Site;
  • Attempt to gain entry to areas, accounts, or systems that are not intended for you;
  • Use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or index the Site in a manner we have not authorized;
  • Introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful code, or use the Site to distribute such code;
  • Employ the Site for any purpose that is deceptive, unlawful, or intended to harm another party.

We may suspend, restrict, or withdraw all or part of the Site, or your ability to reach it, at any time and without prior notice.

Ownership of Content

The text, graphics, logos, page layouts, images, and other material appearing on the Site belong to Brodkin Law or to parties who have licensed that material to us. This content is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership right to you. Except for the limited personal use described above, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, adapt, sell, or distribute any part of the Site without our prior written permission.

Material You Submit

Should you send us comments, questions, documents, or other material through the Site, you represent that you have the right to share it and that it does not violate the rights of any other person or any applicable law. You grant us permission to use, store, and reproduce that material as reasonably necessary to respond to you and to operate the Site. Please do not transmit confidential or sensitive information to us through the Site until we have agreed to represent you.

The material on this Site is offered for general information only. It is not legal advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice tailored to your particular situation. Every legal matter turns on its own facts, and outcomes described here do not guarantee similar results in other cases.

Reading the Site, submitting a message through it, or communicating with us electronically does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Brodkin Law. Such a relationship arises only after we have checked for conflicts, agreed in writing to represent you, and you have accepted the terms of that engagement. Until that point, you should not assume that any information you send us will be treated as privileged or confidential.

The Site may contain links to resources maintained by third parties. We provide these links for convenience only. We do not control those external sites, and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Following a link is done at your own risk, and any dealings you have with a third party are solely between you and that party.

Availability and Accuracy

We aim to keep the Site current and functioning, but we provide it “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise that the Site will operate without interruption or error, or that the information it contains is complete, current, or free of mistakes. Laws and circumstances change, and content that was accurate when published may later become outdated.

Limits on Our Responsibility

To the fullest extent the law allows, Brodkin Law and its attorneys, employees, and agents will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Site. This includes, without limitation, lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, whether or not we were advised that such loss was possible. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it will be limited to the smallest amount permitted by applicable law.

Your Obligation to Reimburse Us

You agree to defend and reimburse Brodkin Law for any claims, losses, costs, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your misuse of the Site or from your breach of these Terms.

Updates to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and adjust the “Last Updated” date above. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically so that you remain aware of the terms that apply to your use of the Site.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which the Firm is located, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute connected to these Terms or to your use of the Site will be brought exclusively before the courts of that state, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

If a Provision Cannot Be Enforced

If any portion of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be limited or removed to the least extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect.

How to Reach Us

If you have questions about these Terms or about how you may use the Site, please get in touch through our contact page or by telephone at (555) 555-0100.
