Effective Date: April 15, 2026

These Terms of Service (these "Terms") govern access to and use of the website located at https://jacksonvillelegalteam.com and any related pages, features, content, and services made available by Law Office of Carl G. Hawkins, PLLC ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.

1. No Legal Advice or Attorney-Client Relationship

The Website is provided for general informational purposes only. Content on the Website does not constitute legal advice, does not necessarily reflect the most current legal developments, and should not be relied on as a substitute for obtaining legal advice from qualified counsel regarding specific facts and circumstances.

Your use of the Website, including sending us an email, submitting a contact form, downloading materials, or communicating with us through the Website, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a written engagement agreement signed by you and the Firm after we have completed any required conflicts review and agreed to represent you.

2. No Confidential Information Through the Website

You must not send confidential, privileged, sensitive, or time-sensitive information to the Firm through the Website, including through any contact form, chat feature, or general email address listed on the Website, unless we have expressly requested that information and you have received authorization to provide it through a secure channel. Information sent to us before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged.

3. Permitted Use

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not:

  • use the Website in any way that violates applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, accounts, or related systems;
  • interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the Website;
  • use bots, scrapers, crawlers, or automated means to access, monitor, copy, or collect content from the Website except as permitted by standard search engine indexing or with our prior written consent;
  • upload, transmit, or introduce malicious code, malware, viruses, or harmful material;
  • use the Website to harass, defame, threaten, or otherwise harm any person; or
  • impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

4. Intellectual Property

The Website and all content, features, functionality, text, graphics, logos, images, attorney biographies, articles, alerts, downloads, compilations, software, and other materials on the Website (collectively, "Content") are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Website and Content for your personal or internal business informational use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, transmit, or exploit any part of the Website or Content except as expressly permitted by these Terms or with our prior written consent.

All Firm names, logos, slogans, and related marks are the property of the Firm or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants any right to use any trademark, service mark, trade name, logo, or branding without prior written permission.

5. Attorney Advertising and Jurisdictional Disclosures

The Website may be considered attorney advertising under applicable laws and rules of professional conduct in some jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any representative matters, case studies, testimonials, endorsements, or results described on the Website do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any legal matter.

The Firm does not seek to represent anyone based solely upon a visit to the Website in a jurisdiction where the Website fails to comply with applicable laws or ethical rules. Attorneys identified on the Website may not be certified by any board of legal specialization unless expressly stated. The Firm's attorneys practice only in jurisdictions where they are properly authorized to do so.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, platforms, maps, social media pages, scheduling services, payment processors, analytics providers, or other services that are not owned or controlled by the Firm. We provide these links for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, policies, practices, products, or services. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms and policies.

7. Website Availability and Changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without notice. We do not guarantee that the Website, any Content, or any feature will be available, uninterrupted, secure, current, or error-free. We may correct errors or omissions and update Content at any time, but we have no obligation to update any specific information.
