Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Version 1.0. Last revised: October 29, 2026.

The website located at arapackelaw.com (the “Site”) is owned and operated by The Rapacke Law Group, P.A. (“Rapacke Law Group,” “RLG,” “us,” “our,” or “we”). We created the Site so that you could learn more about the legal services that we offer and other information related to the law. Certain features of the Site may be subject to additional guidelines or rules posted on the Site, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

These Disclaimer and Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Site. Please read them carefully. By accessing or using the Site, or by clicking “I agree” (or a similar button or checkbox) when that option is presented to you, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent, and you confirm that you have the authority to do so. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site or any materials obtained from it.

IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ SECTION 11 CAREFULLY. It contains an agreement to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration instead of in court, and includes a waiver of class action rights and jury trial rights. You have 30 days to opt out of the arbitration agreement, as further described in Section 11.

1. Attorney Advertising and Legal Information

1.1 Attorney Advertising. Some material on this Site is attorney advertising. Because the Site may be viewed from anywhere in the United States, the rules of some states require particular disclosures, which we make in Section 1.8.

1.2 Information Only, Not Legal Advice. The information on the Site is provided for educational and informational purposes only. The contents of the Site are not, and should not be construed as, legal advice, and none of the information necessarily reflects the opinions of RLG, its attorneys or its clients. The Site is not an offer to perform services on any matter. It contains general information from a variety of sources and might not reflect current legal developments, verdicts or settlements. We do not undertake to update material on the Site to reflect later legal or other developments. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any information on the Site. Any actions or decisions about your legal rights should be based on the particular facts and circumstances of your situation and on legal advice from an attorney you have retained, who has a professional duty to advise you after being fully informed of all the pertinent facts, who is licensed in the applicable state and who is familiar with the applicable law. RLG expressly disclaims all liability with respect to actions taken or not taken based upon any information or other contents of the Site.

1.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship. Viewing the Site, or communicating with RLG by email, by phone or through the Site (including through the contact form, the booking calendar, a resource download request or a disclosure form), does not create an attorney-client relationship with anyone. The content and features of the Site, including the means to submit a question or information, do not create and are not intended to create an attorney-client relationship, and do not constitute an offer to represent you.

1.4 Confidentiality Is Not Guaranteed. Any information sent to RLG by email or through the Site is not secure and is sent on a non-confidential basis. RLG respects the privacy of any person who contacts our firm, and we will make reasonable efforts to keep information private, but because of the nature of internet communications and the absence of an attorney-client relationship, we cannot promise or guarantee confidentiality.

1.5 Past Results. The Site may contain information about results in past matters, including verdicts or settlements. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, and you cannot assume that the same result would occur in your matter.

1.6 Laws Vary by State. The laws of each state are different. The Site contains information about general or common rules that apply in some states. You cannot assume that the same rules apply in your state or any particular state. Deadlines are especially important. Every state has laws called “statutes of limitations” which set a deadline to file a lawsuit, so a lawsuit filed too late may be thrown out, regardless of the merits. Some states have a two-year period for negligence injury claims; the time period in other states may be longer or shorter. Insurance policies, particularly homeowners insurance, may require that suit be filed within one year of a loss. Some states allow claims against government agencies, but require a written notice very soon after the event, perhaps within three months. Because investigation and research are needed to identify all possible claims, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.

1.7 Legal and Ethical Requirements; Responsible Attorney. RLG has tried to comply with all legal and ethical requirements in compiling the Site. We welcome comments about our compliance with the applicable rules and will update the Site as warranted upon learning of any new or different requirements. We only want to represent clients based on their review of the Site if it complies with all legal and ethical requirements. To the extent that the professional responsibility rules of any jurisdiction require us to designate a principal office or an attorney responsible for the Site, The Rapacke Law Group, P.A. designates its office in Davie, Florida and attorney Andrew Rapacke.

1.8 State Advertising Disclosures. Because some material on the Site is lawyer advertising, and the Site may be viewed from anywhere in the United States, particular disclosures are required by the rules of some states. RLG adopts and makes the following disclosures:

• Alabama: No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
• Colorado: Colorado does not certify attorneys as specialists in any field.
• Florida: The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our qualifications and experience.
• Iowa: The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. This disclosure is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC: Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or field of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist or expert in a field of law, nor do they mean that such a lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. This notice is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
• Kentucky and Oregon: THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT.
• Mississippi: The Mississippi Supreme Court advises that a decision on legal services is important and should not be based solely on advertisements.
• Missouri: Neither the Supreme Court of Missouri nor the Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialist designations.
• Nevada: The State Bar of Nevada does not certify any lawyer as a specialist or expert.
• New Jersey: ATTORNEY ADVERTISEMENT. NOT A REFERRAL SERVICE. Before making your choice of an attorney, you should give this matter careful thought. The selection of an attorney is an important decision.
• New Mexico: LAWYER ADVERTISEMENT.
• New York: ATTORNEY ADVERTISING. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
• Pennsylvania: ATTORNEY ADVERTISEMENT. NOT A REFERRAL SERVICE. Before making your choice of an attorney, you should give this matter careful thought. The selection of an attorney is an important decision.
• Tennessee: None of the attorneys in this firm are certified as a Civil Trial, Criminal Trial, Business Bankruptcy, Consumer Bankruptcy, Creditor’s Rights, Medical Malpractice, Legal Malpractice, Accounting Malpractice, Estate Planning or Elder Law specialist by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization. Certification as a specialist in all other listed areas is not currently available in Tennessee.
• Texas: Unless otherwise stated, our attorneys claiming certification in an area of law are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
• Wyoming: The Wyoming State Bar does not certify any lawyer as a specialist or expert. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently investigate the lawyer’s credentials and ability, and not rely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise.

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy describes the types of personal data and other information we collect from you or your device, how we use that information, and the circumstances under which we may share it with third parties.

We may assume control of the defense of any such claim at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You agree not to settle any such claim without our prior written consent.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Third-Party Services. The Site includes links to and integrations with third-party websites and services, such as our booking calendar, our disclosure forms and embedded videos, and may display third-party advertisements (collectively, “Third-Party Services”). They are provided only as a convenience. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for any Third-Party Services, their contents or their availability, and a link does not imply any association between RLG and the third party. We cannot represent that their policies and practices will be consistent with these Terms. You use all Third-Party Services at your own risk, and you acknowledge and agree that the applicable third party’s own terms and privacy practices will apply to such use.

5.2 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release RLG and its officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from all claims, demands, and damages of any kind arising out of or related to the Site or Third-Party Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

6. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RLG AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE SITE MAY CONTAIN TECHNICAL OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS, AND RLG DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR SUITABILITY OF ITS CONTENTS OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THEM. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL CODE. YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES WARRANTIES, THEY ARE LIMITED TO 90 DAYS FROM YOUR FIRST USE.

THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT INCREASE THIS CAP. THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO LEGAL SERVICES WE PROVIDE UNDER A SEPARATE ENGAGEMENT, AND IT DOES NOT LIMIT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

8. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Site. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.

10. General

10.1 Changes to Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you by a prominent notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after notice of changes means you accept the updated Terms.

10.2 Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. For any claim or dispute not subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 11, you and RLG irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Broward County, Florida. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights (including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets); and (b) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for claims within that court’s jurisdictional limits.

10.3 Electronic Communications. By using the Site, you consent to receiving communications from us electronically (by email or notices posted on the Site). These electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement for written notice.

10.4 Accessibility. RLG is committed to making the Site accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. If you experience any difficulty accessing or navigating the Site, or if you have suggestions for improving accessibility, please call us at (954) 951-0154 or send us a message through our contact page. We will make reasonable efforts to address accessibility concerns promptly.

10.5 Entire Agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and any other policies or guidelines referenced herein) are the entire agreement between you and RLG regarding your use of the Site. They do not govern any legal services we provide, which are governed only by a separate engagement agreement between you and RLG. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be valid, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely. These Terms bind any permitted assignees.

10.6 Copyright/Trademark. Copyright © 2026 The Rapacke Law Group, P.A. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site are owned by RLG or third parties. You may not use any of them without prior written consent from the owner.

10.7 Contact Information. The Rapacke Law Group, P.A., Davie, Florida. Phone (954) 951-0154. You can also send us a message through our contact page.

11. Dispute Resolution

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and your right to a jury trial.

11.1 Applicability. Except as described below, you and RLG agree to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms through binding individual arbitration, not in court. Exceptions include: (i) claims that qualify for small claims court, brought on an individual basis; and (ii) requests for equitable relief related to intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade secrets, or copyrights). This arbitration agreement applies to all claims, including those that arose before you agreed to these Terms.

11.2 Try to Resolve First. Before starting arbitration, the parties agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send written notice (an “Informal Notice”) to the other party. Within 45 days of receiving that Informal Notice, the parties will meet by phone or video in good faith to try to work things out. RLG’s notice address is legal@arapackelaw.com. If the informal dispute resolution process doesn’t resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may start arbitration.

11.3 Arbitration Rules. Arbitrations will be administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). Claims under $250,000 (excluding fees and interest) will use JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules; larger claims will use JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be conducted in the county where you live. All arbitration materials and documents are confidential.

11.4 Arbitration Request. The arbitration request must include: (i) your contact information; (ii) a description of the claims and supporting facts; (iii) the relief you’re seeking and a good-faith damages estimate; (iv) confirmation that you completed the informal resolution process; and (v) proof of any required filing fee payment.

11.5 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator has authority to resolve all arbitrable disputes, including questions about the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that courts (not arbitrators) will decide: (i) challenges to the class action waiver below; (ii) disputes about arbitration fees; (iii) whether a condition precedent to arbitration has been satisfied; and (iv) which version of this agreement applies. The arbitrator may award the same relief as a court, but on an individual basis only. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

11.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND RLG WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL COVERED CLAIMS.

11.7 Waiver of Class Actions. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR RLG MAY BRING CLAIMS AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may only award relief on an individual basis. If a court finds this class action waiver unenforceable as to a specific claim, that claim may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida; all other claims remain subject to arbitration.

11.8 Attorneys’ Fees. Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

11.9 Batch Arbitration. If 100 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against RLG within a 30-day period by the same law firm or coordinated group, JAMS will batch them into groups of 100 and appoint one arbitrator per batch, with one set of fees per batch.

11.10 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to legal@arapackelaw.com. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

11.11 Severability. If any part of this arbitration agreement is found invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable; the rest of the agreement remains in effect.
