Effective Date: July 21, 2026

Welcome to the website of the Law Offices of Albert Garcia. Please read these Terms of Use and Legal Disclaimer carefully before using this website.

By accessing or using albertgarcialawoffice.com, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this website.

1. General Information Only

The information provided on this website is for general informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing on this website is intended to constitute legal advice, and no information on this website should be relied upon as legal advice regarding any individual case, claim, investigation, arrest, charge, lawsuit, deadline, or other legal matter.

The law changes frequently, and the information presented on this website may not reflect the most recent legal developments. The application of the law also depends upon the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

You should consult directly with a qualified attorney regarding your individual situation.

2. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Your use of this website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Law Offices of Albert Garcia, Albert Garcia, or any attorney or employee associated with the Firm.

An attorney-client relationship is not created merely because you:

1. Visit or use this website;
2. Read information appearing on this website;

1. Call the Firm;

1. Send the Firm an email;
2. Submit information through the website’s contact form;
3. Send a direct message through social media; or
4. Speak briefly with an attorney or staff member.

An attorney-client relationship is created only after the Firm has:

1. Reviewed the relevant facts;
2. Completed any necessary conflict-of-interest review;
3. Expressly agreed to accept the representation; and
4. Entered into a written fee or representation agreement signed by the appropriate parties.

Do not assume that the Firm represents you unless and until the Firm confirms the representation in writing.

The Firm is under no obligation to accept your matter and may decline representation for any lawful reason.

3. Do Not Submit Confidential or Sensitive Information

Do not send confidential, privileged, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through this website, by email, through social media, or through the website’s contact form unless an attorney from the Firm has first authorized you to do so.

The Firm does not agree to treat unsolicited information submitted through this website as confidential. The Firm may currently represent, or may previously have represented, a person or entity whose interests are adverse to yours.

Submitting information does not prevent the Firm from representing another person or entity in the same or a related matter unless the Firm has agreed otherwise in writing or is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or professional obligations.

When initially contacting the Firm, provide only enough general information for the Firm to identify the nature of the matter and contact you.

Do not submit any of the following unless specifically requested by the Firm:

1. Social Security numbers;
2. Driver’s license numbers;
3. Financial-account information;
4. Medical records;
5. Police reports;
6. Photographs or videos;
7. Witness statements;
8. Confidential business information;
9. Detailed descriptions of alleged criminal conduct; or
10. Other private or sensitive documents.

4. Contacting the Firm Does Not Protect Your Deadlines

Using this website or contacting the Firm does not stop, extend, preserve, or satisfy any statute of limitations, government-claim deadline, filing deadline, court date, administrative deadline, notice requirement, appeal deadline, or other time limitation.

Legal matters may be subject to strict deadlines. Some deadlines may arise shortly after an injury, collision, arrest, governmental action, or other event.

You remain responsible for protecting your legal rights and meeting all applicable deadlines unless and until the Firm confirms in writing that it represents you and has agreed to handle the particular deadline.

Do not delay seeking legal advice because you are waiting for a response to an online submission, voicemail, email, or other communication.

5. No Guarantee of Results

Every legal matter is different.

The outcome of a legal matter depends upon many factors, including the particular facts, available evidence, applicable law, witnesses, insurance coverage, parties, attorneys, judges, juries, courts, prosecutors, government agencies, and circumstances involved.

Nothing on this website guarantees, warrants, predicts, or promises any particular result.

Any discussion of prior settlements, verdicts, dismissals, reductions, negotiated resolutions, testimonials, reviews, or other results is provided for informational purposes only.

Past results do not guarantee or predict future results.
