1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using https://www.perezlawfirm.com, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website. We may revise these terms at any time, and the version posted on this page governs your use of the site. These terms govern your use of the website only; the terms of any legal representation are governed exclusively by a written engagement agreement signed by you and the firm.
2. Information only, not legal advice
The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for consulting a licensed attorney about your specific circumstances, and it should not be relied upon in making decisions about your legal rights.
Every case turns on its own facts and on law that changes over time. Reading this website does not make Alan Perez or Perez Law Firm your attorney, and no information here should be treated as a prediction about how any particular matter will be resolved.
3. No attorney-client relationship
An attorney-client relationship with Perez Law Firm is formed only when the firm and the client sign a written retainer or fee agreement. Sending an inquiry through the contact form or chat feature, calling the office, sending a text message, or receiving a response to a preliminary question does not by itself create that relationship.
Any automated chat or intake feature on this website is a technology tool, not a lawyer or an employee of the firm, and its responses are not legal advice. If the chat feature uses artificial intelligence, it will be identified as automated, and you should assume you are communicating with an automated system rather than a person unless we tell you otherwise.
Until a written agreement is in place, we have no obligation to take any action on your behalf, including preserving evidence or filing anything before a deadline.
4. Confidentiality of your submissions
Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this website. Internet transmissions are not secure, and information sent before an attorney-client relationship exists may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. We may already represent an adverse party in your matter, which would prevent us from receiving your confidential information at all.
5. Text messaging (SMS) and call recording
If you check the SMS consent box on our contact form, you are expressly consenting to receive customer care text messages from Perez Law Firm about your inquiry or matter. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of contacting the firm or of any representation.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to cancel text messages, and reply HELP for assistance or contact us at 941-941-2868. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Phone numbers collected for SMS purposes and your SMS consent will not be shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. See our Privacy Policy for more about how we handle your information.
Telephone calls with the firm may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance and record-keeping. Where the law requires, you will be told at the beginning of a call that it is being recorded, and continuing the call constitutes your consent. If you prefer not to be recorded, let us know and we will communicate with you in writing instead.
6. Statutes of limitations
Florida law imposes strict deadlines on personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and claims against government entities. These deadlines vary by claim type and can be shorter than you expect. If a deadline passes, your claim may be barred permanently regardless of its merit.
Nothing on this website tolls, extends, or preserves any deadline that applies to your matter. Contact an attorney promptly to determine which deadlines apply to you.
7. Attorney advertising and prior results
Portions of this website may be considered attorney advertising under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. Alan Perez is responsible for its content. Any description of prior results, verdicts, settlements, recognitions, or certifications does not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in your case. Client reviews and testimonials reflect the individual experiences of those clients; results depend on the unique facts and law of each matter. Board certification and peer recognitions reflect past evaluation by the certifying body, not a promise of future performance.
8. Jurisdiction and scope of practice
Alan Perez is licensed to practice law in the State of Florida. This website is not intended to solicit clients in, or to describe legal services available in, jurisdictions where the firm is not authorized to practice. If you are located outside Florida, consult an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.
9. Intellectual property
The text, logos, photographs, and design of this website are the property of Perez Law Firm or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial reference. Reproducing, republishing, or distributing content for any other purpose requires our written permission.
10. Acceptable use
You agree not to use this website to transmit unlawful, harassing, or misleading material; to submit false information through the contact form or chat feature; to attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems; or to interfere with the operation of the site through automated scraping, denial-of-service activity, or similar conduct.
11. Third-party links and services
Links to external websites are provided for convenience. We do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site. Certain features of this website, such as chat and intake, are operated with third-party technology providers; their availability is not guaranteed.
12. Accessibility
We want this website to be usable by everyone. If you have difficulty accessing any part of the site or need information in an alternative format, call us at 941-941-2868 and we will be glad to assist.
13. Disclaimer of warranties
This website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the information here is current.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Perez Law Firm and its attorneys and staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website, including any reliance on its content. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of these terms or your use of this website shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Sarasota County, Florida, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
16. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
17. Contact
Questions about these terms may be directed to Perez Law Firm, 2868 University Pkwy, Sarasota, FL 34243, telephone 941-941-2868.
