Legal Services Disclaimer and Notice of Non-Legal Practice

This website and the services provided herein are intended solely to offer general legal information, public legal resources, and educational content. At no time do we provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal document preparation on behalf of any individual.

We are not a law firm, and no person associated with this platform is acting in the capacity of a licensed attorney. We do not:

• Provide legal advice
• Represent individuals in any court or administrative proceeding
• Negotiate with third parties or government officials on behalf of users
• Complete or file legal documents for others without their authority.

All users remain responsible for determining the legal strategies or actions appropriate to their own situations.

Legal Authority and Case Law Support

Our services fall outside the definition of the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) as defined by established judicial authority and regulatory interpretation.

🔹 First Amendment Protection

The U.S. Supreme Court has long held that freedom of speech and association protect public discussion and dissemination of legal information:

“A State may not, under the guise of prohibiting professional misconduct, ignore constitutional rights.”
— NAACP v. Button, 371 U.S. 415 (1963)

🔹 Right to Pro Se Assistance

Individuals may represent themselves in court (pro se), and providing them with resources or procedural information does not constitute legal representation:

“The right of self-representation is protected by the Constitution.”
— Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975)

Providing options, references, or sample arguments without asserting authority or controlling legal decisions is not equivalent to practicing law.

🔹 Distinction Between Legal Information and Legal Advice

Courts have consistently recognized the distinction between giving general legal information and giving legal advice — the former being permissible, even by non-attorneys:

“The crucial question is whether the nonlawyer has exercised independent legal judgment... or merely provided clerical assistance.”
— In re Reynoso, 257 B.R. 260 (Bankr. N.D. Cal. 2000)

🔹 No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of this site does not establish an attorney-client relationship. No confidential or privileged communications are accepted, and users are strongly encouraged to consult a licensed attorney for legal advice specific to their situation.

Compliance with State UPL Laws

We make every effort to remain in full compliance with all applicable state laws governing the unauthorized practice of law. If there is ever a question about compliance, we are open to review by appropriate regulatory authorities.
