Docketwise does not provide legal advice
Neither the Services, nor anything provided by Docketwise, is a substitute for the advice of a competent attorney. The Services may include access to certain information pertaining to immigration law (“Immigration Information”), including legal forms, checklists, blog articles, forum postings and other documents. Immigration Information, if provided within the Services, is not legal advice and may not be relied upon as legal advice. Docketwise cannot guarantee that all the information, forms or documents provided via the Services are current or correct.
The Services may provide you with the opportunity to enter into an agreement with an independent third party attorney or law firm (“Lawyer”) for the delivery of legal services and advice by such Lawyer directly to you (collectively "Legal Services"). However, the Services do not include, nor does Docketwise in any way provide, Legal Services. All Legal Services are provided to you via a direct and separate relationship between you and a Lawyer. Each Lawyer is solely responsible for all Legal Services provided to you. Your use of the Services does not create nor constitute an attorney-client relationship between you and Docketwise, any Docketwise employee or founder, or any Lawyer.
Your use of the Services is intended for general informational purposes only and you should not rely upon such information as a substitute for Legal Services, provided by a Lawyer licensed to practice in your jurisdiction, taking into account your specific circumstances and legal obligations and requirements.
Lawyers may require that you execute an attorney engagement agreement or a paid retainer prior to the delivery of any Legal Services. All fee arrangements between yourself and a Lawyer must be negotiated directly between you and such Lawyer.
Lawyers may establish profiles on Docketwise. These profiles are advertisements. It is your responsibility to conduct your own investigation of a Lawyer advertised on Docketwise. Docketwise does not verify or warrant the accuracy of information included on the profiles of Lawyers. Docketwise disclaims any responsibility for the information on the profiles of Lawyers, as well as any information on websites linked from such profiles.
Docketwise expressly disclaims any representation, guarantee or warranty of any kind with regard to the quality or outcome of the Legal Services to be performed by any Lawyer. Docketwise is not a lawyer referral service nor prepaid legal services plan. Docketwise makes no endorsement of any Lawyer which may be listed on Docketwise website, nor is the inclusion in such listing meant to imply that engaging with any such Lawyer is otherwise appropriate. You must carefully consider a Lawyer’s knowledge and experience prior to any engagement for Legal Services.
