Accessibility Statement

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Our commitment

The Law Office of Michael DeDecker wants this website to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology. Our goal is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. This statement covers every page of this website.

What we’ve done

• The site is built with semantic HTML — proper headings, landmarks, labels, and link names — and works with keyboard navigation, including a “skip to content” link. Page anchors land clear of the sticky header, and the mobile menu keeps keyboard focus inside it while open.
• Text colors are chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast minimums, focus indicators are a visible 3-pixel ring, and interactive targets meet the 24-pixel minimum. The layout adapts from small phones to large desktop screens.
• The site respects your device’s “reduce motion” setting (animations and page transitions are turned off), “increase contrast” setting, and Windows high-contrast/forced-colors mode.
• The client-testimonial rotation has a visible pause control and stops while you hover or focus on it.
• Contact-form results are announced inline for screen readers rather than in a pop-up dialog.
• The cookie consent banner is fully keyboard-operable and screen-reader labeled, and the site works identically whether or not you accept.
• Our phone number, address, and a contact link appear in the same places on every page (header, footer, and on phones a fixed action bar).
• Every page is re-tested with automated accessibility tooling (axe-core) at desktop and mobile sizes after each release; the September 2026 release reported zero detected violations. Automated tools do not catch everything, so we also test with keyboard-only navigation.

Known limitations

Some content is embedded from third parties we don’t control — the Google Maps view on the Contact page (which loads only when you choose to open it), and social-media feeds if and when they are enabled on the Social page. These may not fully meet the same standards. Where an embed is not accessible to you, the same information is available in accessible form on the page (our address, phone, and email appear as text on every page).

Tell us if something isn’t working

Automated testing doesn’t catch everything. If you have trouble using any part of this site with assistive technology, please tell us — we take it seriously and will work to fix it or provide the information you need another way.

Call (916) 707-5917 or email Staff@LawOfficeofDeDecker.com. It helps if you mention the page, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you were using.
