Terms of Service
The ground rules for using this website — in plain English.
Effective date: September 9, 2026 · Last updated: September 9, 2026
These terms govern your use of this website, operated by the Law Office of Michael DeDecker (“we,” “us”). By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
This website is information, not legal advice
Everything on this site is written as attorney advertising material and is intended for general information only. It is not legal advice, and reading it does not make you a client. Laws change and every situation is different — for advice about your circumstances, consult an attorney directly.
No attorney-client relationship
Using this site, calling our office, or submitting the contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship is formed only when we have agreed to represent you, typically through a signed engagement agreement. Until then, please do not send us confidential or time-sensitive information through the website.
Using the site
You agree to use the site lawfully and not to interfere with its operation — for example, by attempting to gain unauthorized access, submitting spam or automated form entries, or introducing malicious code.
Our content
The text, images, and design of this site belong to the Law Office of Michael DeDecker or are used with permission. You may read, print, and share pages for personal, non-commercial purposes; please don’t republish or repurpose the content without asking us first. Third-party marks (such as platform logos and rating badges) belong to their owners.
Payments
Online payments are processed by LawPay (AffiniPay, LLC) on their own site, under their own terms and privacy policy. This website never sees or stores your payment details.
Links to other sites
We link to third-party sites and profiles (for example LawPay, Google Maps, and our social media and review profiles). We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, availability, or practices.
Reviews and testimonials
Client reviews and testimonials on this site reflect those clients’ individual experiences. They are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of the outcome of your matter.
No warranties; limitation of liability
We work to keep the site accurate and available, but it is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, and we do not guarantee it will always be current, error-free, or uninterrupted. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Law Office of Michael DeDecker is not liable for damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) this website. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under California law, or any duty we owe to actual clients under our professional-responsibility rules.
Privacy
How we handle information collected through this site is described in our Privacy Policy.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted here, with the “Last updated” date revised. Your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
