Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your use of this website, which is operated by the law office of Fred Yadegar. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Acceptance and changes

Using this website, filling out a form, or sending us information through it means you accept these terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Disclaimer, all of which are part of these terms. We may revise these terms at any time by posting the updated version on this page. The version posted here is the one in effect, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept it.

Permitted use and intellectual property

You may view, download, and print pages from this site for your own personal, non-commercial use, to learn about California law and our office. The text, page layouts, graphics, and other content on this site are owned by or licensed to our office and are protected by copyright and trademark law. Photographs may be licensed from third parties. Nothing here grants you a license to use any of it except as these terms allow.

Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or to harass, threaten, or impersonate anyone
• Submit false information or another person’s information without authority
• Copy, scrape, frame, or republish the site’s content, or use it for a competing website, without written permission
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its server, or any connected system
• Introduce viruses, bots, or other harmful code, or interfere with the site’s operation
• Interfere with other visitors’ use of the site

No legal advice

The site provides general information. It is not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship with our office. That relationship is formed only by a written engagement agreement signed by both sides. Our full Disclaimer explains this in more detail.

Information you send us

You own the information you send through this website. By sending it, you give our office permission to use it to respond to you, to check for conflicts of interest, and to keep a record of the contact. We will not use it for advertising.

Until we have agreed in writing to represent you, do not send confidential documents or detailed sensitive information. Keep your first message to a short description of your situation and how to reach you. Sending information does not obligate our office to accept your matter.

Phone and text consent

If you provide a phone number and agree to be contacted, you consent to receive calls and text messages from our office about your inquiry at that number. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of hiring us. The Privacy Policy has the full text-messaging terms.

Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

This site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the site will be available, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our office and its attorneys, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of or inability to use this site or your reliance on its content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits any duty we owe you under a signed engagement agreement or under the rules governing California attorneys.

Third-party links

Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices.

Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about this website or these terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to that venue. Our office serves clients in Los Angeles County and Orange County, and nothing in these terms is an offer to provide legal services outside California.
