Terms of Service
Effective Date: 09/18/26
Last Updated: 09/30/26
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of henrylawoffice.com and any pages, forms, features, or materials made available through the website, collectively referred to as the “Site.”
The Site is operated by Law Office of Lauren R. Henry, LLC, referred to in these Terms as the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”
Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site.
1. Informational Purposes Only
The Site provides general information about legal topics and the Firm’s services. Its content is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
Nothing on the Site constitutes legal advice. The information may not apply to your particular facts, may not reflect the most recent legal developments, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, legal information on the Site concerns Maryland law. Laws and procedures may differ in other jurisdictions.
You should consult an attorney about your specific circumstances before making a legal decision or taking action based on information found on the Site.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Accessing the Site, reading its content, downloading materials, calling the Firm, or submitting a website form does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is formed only after:
- The Firm has completed any necessary conflict review;
- The Firm has agreed to accept the matter; and
- The Firm and the prospective client have entered into an applicable written engagement agreement.
The Firm is not obligated to represent you merely because you contacted us or provided information through the Site.
Until the Firm confirms representation, you remain responsible for protecting your legal rights, monitoring deadlines, and obtaining legal assistance when necessary.
3. Communications and Confidential Information
Please do not submit confidential, highly sensitive, or time-critical information through the Site unless the Firm has specifically instructed you to do so.
For an initial inquiry, provide only the information reasonably necessary for the Firm to understand the general nature of the matter and conduct an initial conflict review. Do not submit:
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account numbers
- Medical records
- Complete court files
- Passwords or access credentials
- Sensitive information about children
- Original documents
- Information that could harm your position if disclosed
- Details concerning an urgent deadline without speaking directly with the Firm
The Firm handles information in accordance with its applicable professional obligations. However, you should not assume that a communication is protected by the attorney-client privilege before an attorney-client relationship has been established.
The Firm may be unable to represent you because of a conflict of interest, the nature of the matter, timing, workload, jurisdictional limitations, or other considerations.
4. No Emergency or Deadline-Based Communications
The Site and its contact forms are not intended for emergencies or urgent legal matters.
Submitting a message does not guarantee that it has been received, reviewed, or answered by a particular time. The Firm does not accept responsibility for a legal deadline based solely on a website submission, voicemail, email, or other unsolicited communication.
If you are facing an upcoming court date, filing deadline, statute of limitations, emergency, immediate threat, or other time-sensitive issue, contact a qualified attorney directly.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or contact the appropriate emergency or protective-services agency.
5. No Guarantee of Results
Every legal matter is different. Results depend on the specific facts, available evidence, applicable law, court, opposing parties, insurance coverage, and numerous other circumstances.
Nothing on the Site guarantees or predicts the outcome of any legal matter.
Descriptions of prior matters, results, testimonials, reviews, or representative experiences—if displayed—do not guarantee that the same or a similar result can be obtained in another matter.
6. Attorney Advertising
The Site may constitute attorney advertising under applicable law and professional rules.
The Site is intended to provide truthful information about the Firm and its services. It should not be interpreted as a promise, warranty, or guarantee regarding representation or results.
The Firm does not claim certification or specialization in a particular field unless that statement is expressly made and legally permitted.
7. Jurisdictional Limitations
The Site is intended primarily for individuals seeking information about legal matters in Maryland.
The Firm does not seek to represent anyone in a jurisdiction where the Site fails to comply with applicable professional or legal requirements. An attorney’s ability to provide legal services depends on bar admission, applicable professional rules, the nature of the matter, and other jurisdictional considerations.
Accessing the Site from another state or country does not establish that the Firm is authorized or available to provide legal services in that location.
8. Permitted Use of the Site
You may use the Site for lawful, personal, and informational purposes.
You agree not to:
- Use the Site in violation of any law or regulation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site or its systems
- Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the Site
- Introduce malware, malicious code, or harmful technology
- Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or impersonated information
- Use automated tools to overload or disrupt the Site
- Copy or republish substantial portions of the Site without permission
- Use Site content to misrepresent an affiliation with the Firm
- Remove copyright, trademark, or attribution notices
- Use the Site to harass, threaten, or harm another person
- Attempt to circumvent security or access restrictions
We may restrict or discontinue access to the Site when reasonably necessary to protect the Site, the Firm, other users, or third parties.
9. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the Site and its original content—including text, graphics, logos, design elements, photographs, videos, downloads, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view, print, or download a reasonable amount of Site content for personal, noncommercial, informational use, provided that you do not alter the content or remove any copyright or attribution notice.
No other license or right is granted. You may not reproduce, publish, distribute, sell, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Site content without prior written permission from the Firm or the applicable owner.
Any third-party names, trademarks, logos, or materials remain the property of their respective owners.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may link to courts, government agencies, legal resources, social media platforms, mapping services, scheduling tools, payment services, or other third-party websites.
These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes. The Firm does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, accessibility, or privacy practices.
A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement. Your use of a third-party website or service is governed by that provider’s terms and policies.
11. Website Forms, Scheduling, and Electronic Communications
The Site may allow you to submit an inquiry, request a consultation, schedule an appointment, subscribe to updates, or communicate electronically with the Firm.
Submitting a request does not guarantee:
- That the Firm will accept the matter
- That a consultation has been confirmed
- That the Firm has completed a conflict review
- That an attorney-client relationship has been formed
- That a particular attorney is available
- That the Firm can respond before a deadline
An appointment is confirmed only when the Firm provides confirmation through an authorized communication.
Electronic communications may be delayed, misdirected, intercepted, or affected by technical problems. If you do not receive a response, contact the Firm by telephone.
12. Privacy
The Firm’s collection and handling of personal information through the Site are described in the Firm’s Privacy Policy.
By using the Site, you acknowledge that internet communications and electronic storage cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If these Terms conflict with the Privacy Policy concerning the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy will control for that issue.
13. Accuracy and Availability
The Firm makes reasonable efforts to provide useful information, but it does not guarantee that Site content is complete, accurate, current, or appropriate for every situation.
Legal rules, court procedures, filing requirements, forms, deadlines, agency guidance, and third-party resources may change without notice.
We may update, remove, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that the Site will be free from errors, security vulnerabilities, viruses, or other harmful components.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
The Firm disclaims warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, availability, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and security.
Nothing in this section limits any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Firm and its attorneys, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for damages arising from or relating to:
- Your access to or use of the Site
- Your inability to access or use the Site
- Reliance on general information provided through the Site
- Errors, omissions, interruptions, or technical problems
- Third-party websites, content, or services
- Unauthorized access to or alteration of electronic communications
- Information submitted before the Firm agrees to representation
- Missed deadlines based on an unconfirmed electronic communication
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
16. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
To the extent a dispute arising from these Terms or the Site may lawfully be subject to an agreed forum, it will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Maryland.
This section does not govern disputes arising from an attorney-client relationship or replace the terms of any engagement agreement. An engagement agreement may contain different or additional provisions.
17. Changes to These Terms
The Firm may revise these Terms periodically to reflect changes to the Site, Firm practices, or applicable requirements.
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Changes apply prospectively from the date they are posted unless otherwise stated or required by law.
Your continued use of the Site after an updated version is posted constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Terms.
18. Severability
If a provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Any invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted or limited, where possible, so that it most closely reflects its intended lawful purpose.
19. No Waiver
The Firm’s failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the Firm’s right to enforce that or another provision later.
A waiver is effective only when made in writing by an authorized representative of the Firm.
20. Entire Agreement Regarding Website Use
These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the agreement between you and the Firm concerning your use of the Site.
They do not replace or modify an attorney engagement agreement, fee agreement, settlement agreement, or other separate written agreement between the Firm and a client.
If a separate signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, that separate agreement will control with respect to the subject matter it governs.
21. Accessibility
The Firm strives to make the Site accessible and usable.
