Visitors should consult a qualified attorney before making decisions concerning their legal rights or obligations.

Accessing this Website, reading its content, submitting an online inquiry, sending an email, using website chat, calling our office, or sending an SMS message does not automatically establish an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only when JD Law agrees to provide representation in accordance with applicable California law and professional responsibility requirements.

Do not assume that JD Law represents you until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

Communications from prospective clients may nevertheless be subject to confidentiality duties under applicable California professional responsibility rules.

Nothing in these Terms limits any confidentiality duty that JD Law owes to a prospective or existing client under applicable law.

JD Law does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices.

We may share information with authorized service providers that assist in delivering text messages, subject to appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

For additional information, review our Privacy Policy.

SMS Confidentiality

Text messaging may not be appropriate for highly sensitive criminal defense communications.

JD Law may recommend alternative communication methods when confidential legal information or documents must be exchanged.

Opting out of SMS messages does not terminate an attorney-client relationship or eliminate obligations under an existing engagement agreement.

By contacting JD Law electronically, you acknowledge that certain communications may be transmitted through electronic systems.

Where permitted by applicable law, JD Law may use electronic communications, electronic signatures, and electronic records.

Electronic transactions and signatures will be governed by applicable laws, including the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and California's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Nothing in these Terms requires you to waive statutory rights concerning electronic records, consent, or signatures.

Where affirmative consent is legally required, JD Law will obtain it through an appropriate process.

Separate agreements may govern electronic execution of attorney-client engagement documents.

This Website may constitute attorney advertising under applicable California law and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

Descriptions of legal services, prior case results, client testimonials, professional experience, or attorney qualifications are provided for informational purposes.

Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future legal matter.

Every criminal case depends on its own facts, evidence, procedural circumstances, and applicable law.

JD Law does not guarantee a particular legal outcome.

Any representation concerning attorney certifications, professional distinctions, or specialized qualifications is subject to applicable California attorney advertising requirements.

JD Law does not guarantee acceptance of any particular case or legal matter.

Legal representation is subject to considerations including:

• Conflicts of interest
• Attorney availability
• Nature and scope of the legal matter
• Applicable professional responsibility rules
• Agreement concerning representation

Any attorney-client engagement, legal fees, and scope of representation will be governed by a separate agreement when required by law.

No information on this Website constitutes a promise or guarantee of a particular case outcome.

JD Law makes reasonable efforts to maintain Website functionality and availability.

However, Website access may be interrupted by:

• Scheduled maintenance
• Technical difficulties
• Hosting or network interruptions
• Security incidents
• Third-party service disruptions
• Events beyond our reasonable control

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue Website features when reasonably necessary.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Website.

Website interruptions do not modify JD Law's obligations under an existing attorney-client engagement agreement or applicable law.

The Website may occasionally contain typographical errors, outdated legal references, inaccurate descriptions, or other omissions.

JD Law reserves the right to correct, modify, or update Website information without prior notice, except where notice is required by law.

Visitors should not assume that Website content reflects the most current developments in California or federal law.

The Website and its general informational content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, JD Law disclaims warranties concerning Website availability, uninterrupted operation, and the accuracy or completeness of general Website content.

Nothing in this section limits or disclaims duties arising from an attorney-client relationship, applicable professional responsibility rules, or other nonwaivable legal obligations.

These disclaimers apply to general Website use and do not replace or modify any separate legal services agreement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, JD Law will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising solely from ordinary Website access interruptions, technical errors, or reliance on general informational Website content.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for professional negligence, attorney misconduct, fraud, intentional wrongdoing, violations of applicable law, or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Nothing in these Terms constitutes a prospective limitation of malpractice liability or requires a client to waive rights protected under California law or the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

Any applicable limitation is subject to controlling federal and California law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses or claims resulting from your intentional unlawful misuse of the Website, infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, or unauthorized interference with Website security.

This provision does not require you to indemnify JD Law for its own negligence, professional misconduct, unlawful conduct, or breach of professional duties.

Nothing in this section limits the rights of prospective or existing clients under applicable California law.

JD Law may maintain information submitted through the Website for legitimate administrative, operational, security, and legal service purposes.

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, or loss.

Information handling and retention are governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable legal obligations.

Nothing in these Terms transfers responsibility for protecting confidential client information solely to the Website user.

We cannot guarantee that every internet transmission or electronic system will be completely secure.

These Terms and your use of the Website are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law controls.

Subject to applicable law and any separately enforceable agreement, disputes concerning these Website Terms may be brought before courts of competent jurisdiction in San Diego County, California.

Nothing in these Terms prevents an individual from exercising rights or pursuing remedies available under applicable California or federal law.

JD Law encourages individuals to contact our office directly regarding concerns related to Website use.

Where appropriate, the parties may attempt to resolve Website-related disputes through informal communications.

These Terms do not impose mandatory binding arbitration, a class-action waiver, or a shortened limitations period.

Any agreement to arbitrate a dispute must be separately established and comply with applicable California law, including professional responsibility requirements governing attorney-client relationships.

Nothing in these Terms restricts a person's right to file a complaint with the State Bar of California or another appropriate government authority.

Disputes concerning legal representation, fees, or professional conduct may be subject to separate agreements and applicable statutory procedures.

California residents may have additional protections under applicable consumer protection, privacy, and other laws.

If you have an unresolved consumer complaint, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

For complaints concerning attorney professional conduct, you may contact the State Bar of California through its official website:

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies provided by California law.

These Terms remain applicable while you access or use the Website.

JD Law may restrict or terminate Website access when reasonably necessary to:

• Prevent unlawful activity
• Protect Website security
• Address violations of these Terms
• Prevent unauthorized access
• Protect the rights and safety of Website users or others

Termination of Website access does not automatically terminate an existing attorney-client relationship.

Any termination of legal representation will be governed by the applicable engagement agreement, California Rules of Professional Conduct, and other applicable laws.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Failure by JD Law to enforce a provision does not necessarily constitute a waiver of its rights.

These Terms, together with applicable Website policies, govern general Website access and use.

They do not supersede a separately executed attorney-client engagement agreement.

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between JD Law and Website visitors.

No provision shall be interpreted to waive or diminish legal rights that cannot be waived under California law.

JD Law may update these Terms to reflect changes in Website functionality, communications technology, business practices, or applicable law.

When updates occur, the “Last Updated” date will be revised.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain renewed consent.

Revised Terms apply prospectively to the extent permitted by applicable law.
