  1. Description of Web Site. The philadelphiaimmigrationhelp.com Web Site and the Service are made available by LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. ("Provider"). The information and the Service on the Web Site are not intended to provide and should not be construed as providing legal advice. The Service is an interactive computer service that allows Users of the Provider Web Site to conduct targeted searches of Provider's legal directory of attorneys and law firms who pay to be listed in and to subscribe to the Service ("Subscribers"), and to initiate contact with Subscribers of the User's choosing. Except as otherwise provided in Subchapter 4-7 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar (the “Florida Rules”), neither Provider nor the Web Site, nor the Service is a lawyer referral service. The content on this Web Site, including but not limited to the Service, and other resources and information, is for personal use only.
  2. Attorney and Law Firm Listings. The information about the Subscribers in the Service is provided by the Subscribers themselves. Provider does not warrant the validity of the information provided by Subscribers to the Service or the information submitted by or exchanged between Users and Subscribers. Provider does not guarantee, endorse, recommend or vouch for the quality of any Subscriber legal services or expertise. Provider does not review the content of the listings that are provided by the Subscribers or any links to/from the Web Site. Provider is not responsible for any material or information contained in the linked sites or provided by Subscribers. A description or indication of area of practice by a lawyer does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist or expert in any indicated field of law, nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All Users of the Web Site are encouraged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any Subscriber they might consider hiring for professional legal advice. Your use of information on the Web Site or materials linked from the Web Site is entirely at your own risk.
  3. User Discretion. Users have sole discretion whether to contact or be contacted by any Subscribers via the Service and nothing in the Service is intended or should be interpreted as directing a User to contact or select a particular attorney or firm. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer or law firm are important decisions and should not be based solely upon listings or a Subscriber's self-proclaimed areas of practice. Users are solely responsible for verifying a Subscriber's credentials and qualifications, for determining the necessity and adequacy of a Subscriber's insurance coverage, and for the ultimate selection of any attorney they might make.
  4. No Attorney-Client Relationships or Agreements for Legal Representation. Use of the Web Site or Service is not intended to and does not create a privileged, confidential or attorney-client relationship between Users and either Provider or its Subscribers. Users have sole discretion whether to contact or be contacted by Subscribers to the Service and are solely responsible for making their own selection of counsel. Any agreements regarding legal services or fees must be done outside the scope of the Service and are strictly between the User and the Subscriber(s) and do not involve Provider in any way. Information contained on or made available through the Web Site and the Service is not intended to and does not constitute legal advice or counseling under any circumstance. Provider does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or currency of the information contained in or linked from the Web Site. Provider is not a law firm. Provider does not receive any portion of any attorney's or law firm's fees. Provider is not involved in or responsible for any transactions that might occur between Users and Subscribers, and Provider does not guarantee that such transactions will occur. Users and Subscribers are solely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations governing their interactions via the Service, including, with respect to Subscribers, compliance with all ethics and bar association rules and regulations applicable to their practice. The attorney listings on philadelphiaimmigrationhelp.com are attorney advertisements and do not constitute a referral, recommendation or endorsement by philadelphiaimmigrationhelp.com or, except as otherwise provided in the Florida Rules, any approved or authorized lawyer referral service.
