Terms & Conditions
Last updated [date to be confirmed]
Draft for review. These terms are a starting draft. They should be reviewed and approved by Forte before launch.
Information, not advice
This website explains general principles. Your situation needs advice of its own.
No retainer yet
A lawyer-client relationship begins only once the firm accepts the retainer.
Keep first messages brief
Do not send highly confidential or time-sensitive information through the inquiry form.
Acceptance of these terms
This website is operated by Forte Family Law. By accessing or using it, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
No legal advice
The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. It should not be relied on as such. Family law depends closely on the facts of each case and changes over time. Do not act, or refrain from acting, based on this website without obtaining advice about your own circumstances.
No lawyer-client relationship
Viewing this website, submitting an inquiry, sending an email, or participating in an initial consultation does not, by itself, establish a lawyer-client relationship.
A lawyer-client relationship is established only after the firm accepts the retainer and the necessary engagement requirements are completed, including a conflict check and a signed written retainer agreement.
Communications
Please do not submit highly confidential or time-sensitive information through the general website inquiry form.
Information sent through the website or by email before a retainer is in place may not be treated as confidential or privileged. Please limit your first message to a brief outline of your situation and the names of the other parties.
Email and internet communications are not completely secure. By contacting us electronically, you accept this risk.
Reviews & results
Client reviews reflect the experiences of individual clients. Every matter is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any other matter. This website does not guarantee any particular legal outcome.

Limitation of liability
The website is provided "as is". While we make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and available, we make no warranties about its completeness, accuracy, or availability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Forte Family Law is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website.
