Attorney Advertising Disclaimer

1. General Disclaimer

This website contains attorney advertising. Lexfora is a legal technology platform that operates an attorney directory and referral service, and provides practice management software for law firms. The content published on this platform — including attorney profiles, case descriptions, practice area information, and any other material — is for general informational purposes only.

Viewing this website, browsing attorney profiles, or submitting an inquiry through this platform does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and any attorney listed on the platform, or between you and GradeCircle.

GradeCircle is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal services of any kind.

2. Platform Role — Referral Service, Not Legal Counsel

Lexfora is a technology platform that connects people seeking legal services with licensed attorneys. We are a referral and directory service, not a law firm. The role of Lexfora is limited to:

• Providing a searchable directory of attorneys who have created profiles on the platform
• Routing inquiries from potential clients to attorneys based on search criteria and practice area
• Providing practice management software tools to attorneys and their firms

Lexfora does not endorse, certify, recommend, or vouch for any specific attorney listed on the platform. Inclusion in our directory is not an indication of an attorney's qualifications, competence, or fitness for any particular matter. The choice of an attorney is yours alone, and you should conduct your own due diligence before retaining legal counsel.

The attorneys listed on this platform are independent legal professionals who have created profiles on the platform. They are not employees, partners, agents, or representatives of GradeCircle. GradeCircle is not responsible for the professional conduct, competence, or advice of any attorney found through this platform.

3. No Guarantees

Case results, verdicts, settlements, and other outcomes mentioned on attorney profiles on this platform reflect the specific facts, circumstances, and legal context of those individual cases. Past results are not indicative of future outcomes.

Every legal matter is unique. The outcome of any legal matter depends on numerous factors specific to that case, including but not limited to:

• The specific facts and circumstances of your case
• Applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction
• The court, arbitrator, or tribunal assigned to the matter
• The strength of available evidence and witness testimony
• The actions and defenses of opposing parties
• Changes in law occurring after an attorney is retained

No attorney can guarantee or promise any specific outcome in any legal matter. Any statement to that effect should be viewed with caution.

4. Not Legal Advice

The information provided on this website and platform — including attorney profiles, practice area descriptions, legal articles, FAQ content, and any other material — is general in nature and is intended for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.

Laws vary significantly by jurisdiction and are subject to frequent change. The general information on this platform may not reflect the current state of the law in your jurisdiction or apply to the specific facts of your situation. You should consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for advice regarding your specific legal matter.

5. Attorney-Client Relationship

Browsing this website, viewing attorney profiles, or submitting a contact inquiry or lead form on this platform does not create an attorney-client relationship with any attorney listed on the platform or with GradeCircle.

An attorney-client relationship is a formal legal relationship established only when all of the following conditions are met:

• Both you and the attorney mutually agree to establish the relationship
• The attorney has performed a conflicts check and confirmed there is no conflict of interest
• You have signed a written engagement letter, retainer agreement, or other written evidence of the attorney-client relationship
• Any required initial retainer fees have been paid and a trust account has been established where applicable

Until an attorney-client relationship is formally established, the attorney's professional duties of confidentiality, loyalty, and competence do not apply to information you share.

6. State-Specific Disclaimers

Attorney advertising rules vary by state. The following disclosures apply to users and attorneys in the states listed:

Texas

The State Bar of Texas does not certify attorneys in specific practice areas unless explicitly noted as board-certified. Any reference on an attorney's profile to a "specialty" or focus area refers to an attorney's self-described concentration of practice, not formal board certification, unless the profile explicitly states board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization or another accredited certifying organization.

Florida

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Lexfora is a referral directory service, not a law firm, and does not itself perform legal services. Before retaining any attorney found through this platform, you may request free written information about that attorney's qualifications and experience directly from the attorney. The Florida Bar does not certify lawyers in any area of practice unless that attorney's profile explicitly states Florida Bar Board Certification.

Arizona

This platform and any attorney profiles contained herein are designed for general information only. The information presented on attorney profiles should not be construed as formal legal advice, nor does viewing a profile or submitting an inquiry constitute the formation of an attorney-client relationship.

California

This website is a communication providing public information about the availability of legal services. The State Bar of California does not endorse or recommend any particular attorney or legal services provider. No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed by any attorney listed on this platform is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other attorneys.

New York

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Attorney profiles and any associated content on this platform may constitute attorney advertising under New York Rules of Professional Conduct. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements or directory listings.

All Other States

Attorney advertising rules vary across all U.S. states and territories. Attorneys listed on this platform are individually responsible for ensuring that their profile content, case descriptions, testimonials, and any other advertising material complies with the Rules of Professional Conduct and attorney advertising rules of every state bar in which they are licensed or in which their profile is accessible. GradeCircle does not independently verify that attorney profiles comply with the advertising rules of any particular state.

If you are an attorney with concerns about compliance of your profile in a specific jurisdiction, please consult the Rules of Professional Conduct of that jurisdiction or contact your state bar association directly.

7. AI-Generated Content

Lexfora offers AI-powered tools that assist attorneys in drafting profile content, including professional biographies and headlines (the "AI Bio" and "AI Headline" tools). These tools generate draft suggestions based on information provided by the attorney.

AI-generated suggestions are drafts only and require explicit attorney review, editing, and approval before they are published to the attorney's public directory profile.

Attorneys who use AI-generated content in their profiles bear sole professional responsibility for:

• Reviewing all AI-generated suggestions for accuracy, truthfulness, and completeness before publishing
• Ensuring that all published profile content — including AI-assisted content — complies with the attorney advertising and professional responsibility rules of every state bar in which they are licensed
• Correcting or removing any inaccurate, misleading, or non-compliant AI-generated content promptly upon discovery

GradeCircle does not review AI-generated profile content for compliance with bar advertising rules and makes no warranty that AI-generated suggestions are accurate, complete, or compliant with any applicable professional responsibility rules.

8. Third-Party Links

This website and attorney profiles may contain links to external, third-party websites. GradeCircle is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, or opinions expressed on any third-party websites. Inclusion of a link to an external website does not constitute endorsement by GradeCircle. You access linked sites at your own risk.

9. Confidentiality Warning

Do not submit confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through this website before an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

Submitting a contact inquiry or lead form through this platform does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not trigger attorney-client privilege. Information submitted through public contact forms may be seen by platform operators and may not be protected as confidential.

If you have a time-sensitive legal emergency — such as an impending court date or statute of limitations deadline — you should contact a licensed attorney directly by telephone rather than through an online form.

10. Testimonials and Reviews

Client testimonials and peer endorsements on this platform represent the independent opinions and experiences of the individuals who submitted them. They are not edited for substance, though we may moderate reviews that violate our content guidelines (e.g., reviews that are abusive, fraudulent, or contain private identifying information). Moderation does not alter the meaning or opinions expressed.

FTC Compliance: In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's updated guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255, as amended effective 2023):

• Testimonials and reviews reflect the experiences of individual clients and do not constitute a guarantee or representation that all clients will achieve similar outcomes.
• Where a reviewer received any form of compensation, incentive, free service, or other benefit in connection with submitting a review, this relationship will be disclosed on the review.
• Attorneys who use Lexfora's review solicitation tools are prohibited from selectively soliciting reviews only from clients they believe will leave positive feedback, and from offering compensation, discounts, or other incentives in exchange for reviews without appropriate disclosure.
• Results described in testimonials may not be typical and depend on the individual facts and circumstances of each matter.

If you believe a review on this platform is false, defamatory, or violates our guidelines, please open a support ticket to report it for review.
