Website Terms of Use

Slinkman, Slinkman & Wynne, PA.

Last Updated: July 29, 2026

1. Introduction

These Website Terms of Use govern your access to and use of:

https://sswlawfl.com/

The website is operated by SSW Law. References to “SSW Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean SSW Law and, where applicable, its authorised attorneys, employees and representatives.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms of Use and agree to comply with them.

These Terms apply only to use of the public website. They do not replace or modify any written engagement agreement, fee agreement or other contract between SSW Law and a client.

Where a signed agreement conflicts with these Website Terms of Use, the signed agreement will control in relation to the legal services covered by that agreement.

2. General Information Only

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

Website content does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice for a particular matter.

Laws, regulations, procedures and legal standards may:

  • Change over time;
  • Differ between jurisdictions;
  • Depend on the facts of a particular matter;
  • Be interpreted differently by courts or authorities; and
  • Apply differently depending on individual circumstances.

You should consult a qualified attorney regarding your specific situation before making a decision or taking action based on legal information.

Nothing on this website guarantees that the information is current, complete or applicable to your circumstances.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Accessing or using this website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and SSW Law.

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

  • Visit the website;
  • Read website content;
  • Submit a contact form;
  • Send an email;
  • Leave a telephone message;
  • Request a consultation; or
  • Communicate with a member of the firm.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after SSW Law has:

  • Determined that it is willing and able to accept the matter;
  • Completed any required conflict-of-interest review;
  • Agreed on the scope of representation; and
  • Entered into an applicable written engagement agreement.

Until those steps have been completed, you should not assume that SSW Law represents you or is protecting your legal interests.

The Florida Bar similarly states that access to legal website information does not create an attorney-client relationship.

4. Do Not Send Confidential or Sensitive Information

Do not send confidential, sensitive or time-critical information through a general website contact form or unsolicited email.

Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship has been established may need to be reviewed to determine:

  • The type of legal assistance requested;
  • Whether SSW Law handles the relevant matter;
  • Whether the firm is available to assist; and
  • Whether a conflict of interest exists.

Submitting information does not guarantee that SSW Law will accept your matter.

Florida Bar Ethics Opinion 07-3 states that a person who unilaterally sends information to an attorney generally has no reasonable expectation that the information will be kept confidential. The opinion is advisory rather than binding, but it supports using a clear warning before information is submitted through the website.

Please do not submit information such as:

  • Social Security numbers;
  • Financial account details;
  • Credit card details;
  • Passwords;
  • Government identification numbers;
  • Detailed medical records;
  • Confidential business records;
  • Complete legal documents; or
  • Information that could prejudice your legal position.

Once SSW Law has formally agreed to represent you, the firm will advise you about appropriate methods for sharing confidential information.

5. No Conflicts Protection From Unsolicited Communications

Sending information through the website does not prevent SSW Law from representing another person or organisation in the same or a related matter, unless:

  • SSW Law has agreed to represent you;
  • A professional obligation prevents the representation; or
  • The firm has agreed otherwise in writing.

Do not provide information about another person or party merely to attempt to prevent SSW Law from representing them.

Any determination regarding conflicts of interest will be made by SSW Law in accordance with applicable professional rules and the facts of the matter.

6. No Legal Deadlines or Urgent Matters

Do not use the website, a general email address or a website contact form for:

  • Emergencies;
  • Imminent court hearings;
  • Filing deadlines;
  • Limitation periods;
  • Appeal deadlines;
  • Time-sensitive settlement decisions; or
  • Other urgent legal matters.

Electronic communications may be delayed, misdirected, filtered as spam or affected by technical problems.

You remain responsible for protecting your legal rights and deadlines unless SSW Law has expressly agreed in writing to represent you in the relevant matter.

Submitting a message does not guarantee that it has been received, reviewed or accepted within a particular period.

7. Consultation Requests

Submitting a request for a consultation does not guarantee:

  • That a consultation will be offered;
  • That SSW Law will accept the matter;
  • That the firm is available within a requested timeframe;
  • That no conflict of interest exists;
  • That a particular attorney will be available;
  • That representation will be offered on particular terms; or
  • That any legal outcome can be achieved.

SSW Law may decline an enquiry or representation where permitted by applicable law and professional obligations.

8. No Guarantee of Results

Descriptions of legal services, past matters, representative experience, testimonials, reviews or other website content do not guarantee a particular outcome.

Legal results depend on many factors, including:

  • The facts and evidence;
  • Applicable law;
  • Court procedures;
  • Decisions made by judges, juries, agencies or opposing parties;
  • The actions of clients and third parties; and
  • Circumstances outside the firm’s control.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

No statement on the website should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of a particular result.

9. Attorney Advertising

This website may constitute attorney advertising under applicable professional rules.

Website content is intended to provide general information about SSW Law and its services. It should not be interpreted as a representation that the firm can obtain a particular result in any matter.

Digital advertising and law-firm website content remain subject to Florida’s lawyer-advertising standards. The Florida Bar provides a current advertising handbook and guidance covering these requirements.

Nothing on this website is intended to compare SSW Law’s services with another attorney or law firm unless the comparison is objectively verifiable and permitted by applicable rules.

10. Practice Areas and Availability

Descriptions of practice areas are general and do not guarantee that SSW Law will accept every type of matter described.

Whether SSW Law can assist may depend on:

  • The facts and legal issues involved;
  • The relevant jurisdiction;
  • Applicable deadlines;
  • The firm’s existing commitments;
  • Conflicts of interest;
  • The availability of suitable counsel;
  • The scope of assistance requested; and
  • Other professional or practical considerations.

SSW Law may amend its services and areas of practice without updating every reference on the website immediately.

11. Jurisdiction and Geographic Limitations

The website is operated from Florida and is primarily intended to provide information about legal services offered by attorneys authorised to practise in applicable jurisdictions.

Website access from another state or country does not mean that SSW Law:

  • Is authorised to practise law in that jurisdiction;
  • Offers services in that jurisdiction;
  • Agrees to represent a person located there; or
  • Intends to establish a professional relationship there.

An attorney’s ability to advise or represent a person depends on licensing, jurisdictional and professional requirements.

12. Website Forms and Communications

You agree that information submitted through the website will be accurate and that you are authorised to provide it.

You may not use website forms to:

  • Submit false or misleading information;
  • Impersonate another person;
  • Send spam or automated messages;
  • Harass or threaten another person;
  • Transmit unlawful material;
  • Introduce malware or harmful code; or
  • Interfere with the operation of the website.

SSW Law may disregard or delete communications that appear fraudulent, abusive, irrelevant, automated or unlawful.

13. Electronic Communications

When you contact SSW Law electronically, you consent to receiving responses electronically where appropriate.

Electronic communications may include email or other communication methods agreed between you and the firm.

Submitting a general website form does not, by itself, form a contract or create an attorney-client relationship.

Florida’s Uniform Electronic Transaction Act recognises that electronic records and signatures may have legal effect where the relevant legal and contractual requirements are satisfied. It does not mean that every website message automatically forms a contract.

You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate contact details;
  • Maintaining access to the email address or telephone number supplied;
  • Checking spam or junk folders; and
  • Advising SSW Law if your contact information changes.

14. Testimonials, Reviews and Endorsements

Testimonials and reviews displayed on the website reflect the experiences and opinions of the people who provided them.

Individual experiences vary, and a testimonial does not guarantee that another person will obtain the same or a similar result.

Testimonials may not describe every aspect of a matter and should not be treated as legal advice or a prediction of future performance.

Nothing in these Terms prevents a client or visitor from sharing an honest opinion about SSW Law’s services, subject to applicable law and confidentiality obligations.

15. Website Content and Accuracy

SSW Law aims to provide useful and accurate information. However, the website may occasionally contain:

  • Outdated legal information;
  • Typographical errors;
  • Incomplete information;
  • Technical inaccuracies;
  • Broken links; or
  • Content affected by changes in law or procedure.

Legal information can become outdated after publication.

The publication date or update date of a page does not guarantee that every statement remains current.

SSW Law may update, correct, remove or replace content without notice.

You should obtain advice regarding the current law and your individual circumstances rather than relying solely on website content.

16. External Links and Third-Party Services

The website may contain links to or content supplied by third parties, including:

  • Government websites;
  • Courts and public agencies;
  • Professional organisations;
  • Google Maps;
  • YouTube;
  • Social media platforms; and
  • Other external resources.

Third-party websites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

SSW Law does not control and is not responsible for:

  • Third-party content;
  • Third-party website availability;
  • External security practices;
  • External privacy practices;
  • Changes to external content; or
  • Products and services offered by third parties.

A link does not necessarily mean that SSW Law endorses every statement, service or organisation on the linked website.

17. Privacy and Cookies

Personal information collected through the website is handled in accordance with the SSW Law Privacy Policy.

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Necessary website functions;
  • Website analytics;
  • Advertising measurement; and
  • Third-party content such as YouTube and Google Maps.

Optional technologies are managed according to the visitor’s selections through the website’s cookie consent system.

The Privacy Policy and cookie settings should be read together with these Terms of Use.

18. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the website and its content are owned by or licensed to SSW Law.

This may include:

  • Text;
  • Articles;
  • Graphics;
  • Logos;
  • Branding;
  • Photographs;
  • Videos;
  • Downloadable materials;
  • Page layouts; and
  • Website design.

These materials are protected by copyright, trademark and other applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and print reasonable portions of the website for your own personal, non-commercial and informational use.

You may not, without prior written permission:

  • Reproduce substantial website content;
  • Republish articles as your own;
  • Use SSW Law’s name, branding or logos;
  • Sell or commercially exploit website content;
  • Alter or remove ownership notices;
  • Create a misleading association with SSW Law;
  • Use the website to train or populate a competing commercial content service through systematic copying; or
  • Represent that SSW Law endorses another person, product or service.

Brief quotations may be used where permitted by applicable copyright law and accompanied by appropriate attribution.

19. Acceptable Website Use

You may use the website only for lawful purposes.

You may not:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or server;
  • Introduce viruses, malware or harmful code;
  • Interfere with website security or operation;
  • Attempt to bypass access restrictions;
  • Submit fraudulent information;
  • Use automated tools to overload or disrupt the website;
  • Scrape substantial website content for commercial republication;
  • Use the website to threaten, harass or defame another person;
  • Infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or
  • Use the website in violation of applicable law.

SSW Law may restrict or block access where it reasonably believes that the website is being misused.

20. Website Availability

SSW Law does not guarantee that the website will always be:

  • Available;
  • Uninterrupted;
  • Error-free;
  • Secure;
  • Free from harmful components; or
  • Compatible with every device or browser.

Access may be interrupted by:

  • Maintenance;
  • Software updates;
  • Hosting problems;
  • Security measures;
  • Network failures;
  • Third-party service failures; or
  • Events outside SSW Law’s reasonable control.

SSW Law may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the website without notice.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

SSW Law makes no website-related warranty, express or implied, concerning:

  • Accuracy;
  • Completeness;
  • Availability;
  • Fitness for a particular purpose;
  • Non-infringement;
  • Security;
  • Timeliness; or
  • Freedom from errors or harmful components.

Nothing in this section excludes a duty or warranty that cannot legally be excluded.

This website disclaimer does not alter any express obligation contained in a written engagement agreement between SSW Law and an existing client.

22. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SSW Law will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive losses arising solely from:

  • Access to or use of the public website;
  • Inability to access the website;
  • Reliance on general website information;
  • Website interruption or technical errors;
  • Third-party websites or services;
  • Unauthorised activity outside the firm’s reasonable control; or
  • A visitor’s failure to obtain advice regarding their specific circumstances.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

This limitation applies to the public website and does not replace or modify obligations arising under a written attorney-client engagement agreement.

23. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses or expenses arising from:

  • Your unlawful misuse of the website;
  • Your intentional violation of these Terms;
  • Information you submit without authority; or
  • Your infringement of another person’s rights.

This provision does not require a visitor or client to indemnify SSW Law for the firm’s own professional negligence, unlawful conduct or breach of an applicable written agreement.

SSW Law should have its attorney review this provision before publication.

24. Governing Law

These Website Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Subject to applicable law and any written agreement requiring otherwise, disputes arising specifically from use of the public website will be handled by a court with appropriate jurisdiction in Florida.

This section does not replace any governing-law, venue, mediation, arbitration or dispute-resolution provision contained in a signed engagement agreement.

25. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

26. No Waiver

A failure by SSW Law to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision or another provision later.

27. Changes to These Terms

SSW Law may update these Terms to reflect changes to:

  • The website;
  • The firm’s services;
  • Business practices;
  • Third-party providers;
  • Security requirements;
  • Professional obligations; or
  • Applicable laws and regulations.

Revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Changes will apply from the date they are published unless another effective date is stated.
