Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of georgiaattorneynearme.com (the "Website"), operated by Shawn Council Law Firm℠ LLC ("the Firm," "we," "us"). By using the Website, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

The articles, FAQs, case analyses, practice-area descriptions, and other content on the Website are for general informational purposes only. They are not legal advice and are not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney about your specific situation.

The law changes often and depends on the facts of each case. Content may not reflect the most recent legal developments. Do not act, or fail to act, based on anything on the Website without first consulting an attorney.

Using the Website, submitting the Book Consultation form, subscribing to our newsletter, or calling or writing to the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship exists only after the Firm has confirmed it will represent you, usually through a signed written engagement agreement.

Until then, please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information about your matter through the Website. Legal deadlines, such as statutes of limitations, may apply to your claim. Contacting the Firm does not stop those deadlines.

A request sent through the Book Consultation form is a request only. An appointment is not confirmed until our office contacts you to confirm it. We may need to run a conflict-of-interest check before we can meet with you, and we may decline any matter.

Personal injury consultations are free. Business law, HOA, Church law, and employment consultations are $150 for 30 minutes. See our FAQ for details. Any fee for ongoing representation will be set out in a written agreement before work begins.

The "Value My Case" calculator produces a rough, automated estimate based only on the figures you enter. It is not an appraisal, offer, or promise of any recovery. The actual value of a claim depends on liability, evidence, insurance coverage, and many other factors that only a full case review can assess.

Client reviews, testimonials, and descriptions of past results relate to specific matters. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes, and every case is evaluated on its own merits. Portions of the Website may be considered attorney advertising.

When you use the Website, you agree to:

• Give accurate, current information when you submit a form, and only submit information you have the right to share.
• Use the Website only for lawful purposes and in line with these Terms.
• Keep your own copies of any documents or information that matter to your case. The Website is not a document storage service.
• Seek emergency help from 911 or the appropriate authorities in any situation involving immediate danger. The Website is not monitored around the clock.

You agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, or impersonate another person.
• Send spam, bulk or automated submissions, or messages that are harassing, threatening, or defamatory.
• Try to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, or its data, or bypass its spam-prevention checks.
• Upload or send malware or anything else that could disrupt or damage the Website.
• Scrape, copy, or republish Website content in bulk without our written permission.

We may block access or ignore submissions that break these rules.

The Website and its content are owned by or licensed to the Firm and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. This includes the text, articles, graphics, logos, the Shawn Council Law Firm℠ name, and the site design. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may share links to our articles. Any other copying, modification, or distribution requires our written permission.

The Website links to third-party sites, including our social media pages. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

The Website is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Firm makes no warranties, express or implied, about the Website's accuracy, completeness, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted or free of errors or harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Firm and its attorneys and staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website or its content. This includes any reliance on Website content or on estimates from the "Value My Case" calculator. Nothing in these Terms limits any duty the Firm owes to a client under a written engagement agreement.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about the Website or these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Georgia.

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date above will change. Continuing to use the Website after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
