California Terms of Service

Service description

FlowLawyers operates a legal-help website for people looking for attorneys, legal aid, pro bono resources, and state-specific legal information. Some attorneys may pay for advertising placement, enhanced listings, or other visibility features on the site, but FlowLawyers does not recommend or endorse a specific attorney as the right choice for your matter.

We provide the following services:

• Collect information about your legal needs
• Show you attorney listings and public legal-help resources based on practice area and location
• Enable you to contact a participating attorney or law firm directly
• Provide legal-aid routing, guided help, and public legal information tools

No attorney-client relationship

Using our website does NOT create an attorney-client relationship with FlowLawyers or any listed or participating attorney. An attorney-client relationship is only formed when:

1. You directly contact and retain a specific attorney
2. The attorney agrees to represent you
3. You sign a written retainer agreement with that attorney
4. Any required fees or retainers are paid

Do not send confidential information through our website until you have established an attorney-client relationship with a specific attorney.

Communication consent

By providing your contact information and submitting a request through our platform, you consent to receive communications from FlowLawyers and attorneys or firms that may be able to assist with your legal matter.

These communications may include phone calls, text messages, emails, or voicemails about your request, subject to applicable law.

Your rights:

• You may opt out of future text or email communications by following the instructions in those messages where available
• You can request to be removed from our contact lists by contacting us
• Message and data rates may apply for SMS communications
• Consent is not required to purchase any services

Attorney advertising disclosure

This website contains attorney advertising. Attorneys may pay fees to participate in the directory or advertise on the site. This payment structure does not guarantee that any attorney will accept your case and does not create any endorsement or recommendation of specific attorneys.

The choice of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements. You should research attorneys' qualifications, experience, and track record before making a decision.

Attorney directory

Attorneys listed on FlowLawyers represent that they are licensed in their respective states. You should verify an attorney's license status with the State Bar of California before engaging their services.

Your responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and truthful information about your legal matter
• Update us if any information changes significantly
• Not misrepresent the facts of your case or your identity
• Use our services only for legitimate legal needs

FlowLawyers is not responsible for any consequences resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information you provide.

Privacy and data protection

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is governed by our California Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We collect information necessary for our directory services, share case information with potential attorneys, implement security measures to protect your data, and respect your privacy rights under applicable laws.

You can review and exercise available privacy rights through our California Consumer Privacy Rights page.

Service limitations and disclaimers

We do not guarantee:

• That any attorney will accept your case
• The quality or outcome of any legal services
• That any listed or participating attorney is the best choice for your needs
• Any specific results from legal representation
• The accuracy of attorney-provided information

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique and results vary significantly. Legal outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control. You should research attorneys independently before hiring.

Governing law and dispute resolution

For formal disputes:

1. Contact us first to attempt resolution
2. Disputes will be resolved in courts of competent jurisdiction in California
3. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot be waived under applicable law
