USE OF WEBSITE, TERMS AND LIABILITY WAIVER

The American Association of Attorney Advocates (AAAA) provides a free public directory highlighting attorneys and law firms across various practice areas. This directory reflects our independent evaluation process and is not intended to serve as a comprehensive listing of all qualified attorneys or law firms in any given location or field. Inclusion in this directory is limited to attorneys and law firms who have been nominated and have affirmatively accepted their nomination. The directory is not exhaustive and does not claim to list all qualified attorneys or firms. Many skilled and competent attorneys and firms may not appear in our listings, either because they were not nominated, or because they chose not to accept their nomination or membership. Inclusion does not constitute an endorsement, certification, or guarantee of competence, ability, or any particular legal outcome. Attorneys and law firms are nominated for inclusion, and those who choose to accept their nomination may select either a free membership or a paid membership that offers additional promotional benefits, such as enhanced profiles, press releases, and promotional materials. Payment for these optional benefits does not influence or guarantee selection or inclusion in the directory. All selections are based solely on our internal research, nomination process, and evaluation criteria, not on payment. Our use of terms such as “top,” “best,” or “leading” reflects our internal evaluation methodology and should not be interpreted as an official ranking, certification, or universally accepted designation. Consumers are encouraged to conduct their own independent research and due diligence before hiring any attorney or law firm listed in our directory. AAAA does not monitor, verify, or track the licensing status, disciplinary history, or standing of any listed attorney or firm with state bars, licensing authorities, or regulatory agencies. We strongly advise all consumers to contact the relevant State Bar Association or licensing authority to verify licensing status and disciplinary history before hiring any attorney or law firm. The content and materials provided on this website are offered on an “as-is” basis, with no warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AAAA disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We make no guarantees as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content found on this website or linked third-party sites. Any reliance on website content, directory listings, or external links is solely at the user’s risk. AAAA also disclaims all liability for the quality, reliability, or outcomes of legal services provided by any attorney or firm listed in the directory. Inclusion does not imply any assurance of legal outcomes or competence. Users agree that AAAA is not liable for any claims, losses, or damages arising from reliance on this website or engagement with any listed attorney or firm. The attorneys or law firms designated as Featured Attorneys or Law Firms on our homepage have paid for this inclusion. All information has been submitted by the attorneys or their authorized representatives. We do not independently verify the accuracy of this information and make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding its content. Directory listings may be segmented by state, region, or practice area, and the directory itself may be further adjusted based on state population, geographic relevance, or other internal criteria at AAAA’s discretion. We reserve the right to modify or adjust selection criteria and methodology without prior notice. Attorneys who accept free membership will receive a basic listing only and will not receive plaques, badges, or additional promotional benefits. Press releases announcing selections may be distributed to national and local media outlets, but publication by any media outlet is not guaranteed. Press releases may be issued in bulk and on a discretionary schedule, and while AAAA aims to release them multiple times per year, this frequency may vary based on membership volume and other factors. To protect staff privacy and for administrative purposes, AAAA employees and representatives may use pseudonyms, abbreviated names, or alternate names when interacting with members, prospective members, or the public. AAAA may share ownership, partnerships, or affiliations with other legal directories, similar programs, or related organizations. Any address provided on the website is a mail handling address only and does not indicate a physical office location. By using this website, users agree to hold harmless and indemnify AAAA, its affiliates, owners, officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, losses, liabilities, or damages — including legal fees — arising from use of the website, reliance on directory listings, or disputes involving listed attorneys or firms. Under no circumstances shall AAAA be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages resulting from the use of this website, even if the possibility of such damages was known. AAAA reserves the right to revise or update these terms at any time without notice. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of any changes. The website content, including attorney listings, is subject to revision, correction, or removal at the sole discretion of AAAA. For corrections, questions, or requests related to your listing, please contact us at: member@americanassociationofattorneyadvocates.com.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
