The Law Office of Morrie I. Levine, P.A. (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Florida law office located in Hollywood, Florida. The Firm provides legal services through a Florida attorney and does not provide legal services through this website alone.

Firm contact information: The Law Office of Morrie I. Levine, P.A., 3300 North 29th Avenue, Suite 104, Hollywood, Florida 33020. Telephone: (954) 925-9000. Email: info@morrielevine.com.

Questions about these Terms of Use may be directed to info@morrielevine.com or to the mailing address above.

By accessing or using this website, submitting a form, requesting a consultation, uploading documents, or otherwise interacting with website features, you agree to these Terms of Use and the Firm’s Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms of Use, please do not use the website. The Firm may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version with a new effective date.

The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, nor a substitute for legal advice, and should not be relied upon as legal advice for any specific matter.

Legal rights and obligations depend on specific facts, documents, deadlines, jurisdiction, and applicable law. You should consult a qualified attorney before taking or refraining from any action based on information on this website.

Your use of this website, your viewing of website materials, your submission of a contact form or intake form, your sending of an email, your leaving of a voicemail, does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship with the Firm or with Morrie I. Levine, Esq.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the Firm has completed conflict checks; the Firm agreed to represent you; the Firm confirmed the engagement in a written Retainer Agreement executed by both the potential client and the Firm; and the Firm received the agreed upon initial, refundable Retainer Deposit.

Unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been confirmed in writing, the Firm has not agreed to represent you, protect your interests, monitor deadlines, file documents, appear in court, or take any action on your behalf.

Please do not send confidential, highly sensitive, privileged, or time-sensitive information through general website forms, general email, or voicemail unless the Firm has specifically requested the information or has already agreed in writing to represent you.

Information sent before an attorney-client relationship is formed may not be treated as privileged or confidential in the same manner as information received from an existing client. Submitting information does not prevent the Firm from representing another person or entity unless a written attorney-client relationship has been established and applicable conflict rules require otherwise.

If your matter involves an urgent deadline, hearing, statute of limitations, closing date, response deadline, or court filing deadline, you remain responsible for protecting that deadline unless and until the Firm confirms in writing that it represents you for that matter.

The website may allow you to request a consultation, submit preliminary information, or provide documents for review. Submission of such materials is for preliminary evaluation only and does not guarantee that the Firm will accept your matter.

The Firm may decline a matter for any lawful reason, including conflicts of interest, scheduling limitations, practice-area limitations, jurisdictional limitations, nonpayment, or the Firm’s professional judgment.

You agree that information submitted for a consultation or intake will be accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. The Firm may rely on that information when deciding whether it should accept a new matter.

You may use the website only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms of Use. You agree not to misuse the website, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malware, scrape content without authorization, impersonate another person, submit false or misleading information, or use the website to harass, threaten, defame, or violate the rights of others.

The Firm may restrict, suspend, or block access to the website or online features if it reasonably believes the website has been misused or if continued access may create a security, legal, ethical, or operational concern.

Unless otherwise stated, all text, design, graphics, logos, images, videos, layout, and other materials on the website are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other laws.

You may view, download, or print a reasonable copy of website materials for personal, non-commercial, informational use only, provided you do not remove copyright, trademark, disclaimer, or other notices. You may not copy, modify, publish, distribute, sell, or exploit website materials for commercial purposes without the Firm’s written permission.

The Firm’s name, logos, and related branding may not be used in a manner that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship without written authorization.

If you submit information, documents, comments, or other materials through the website or linked services, you represent that you have the right to provide those materials and that the materials do not violate the rights of another person or entity.

You grant the Firm permission to review, store, copy, transmit, and use submitted materials for the purpose of evaluating your inquiry, communicating with you, conducting conflict checks, providing legal services if the Firm accepts the matter, maintaining records, and complying with legal and professional obligations.

This section does not transfer ownership of your documents to the Firm. It only permits the Firm to handle the materials for law-office and related purposes.

The website may link to third-party tools for document transfer, maps, email, analytics, hosting, or other functions. Those third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Invoice payments, Retainer Deposits, or other amounts do not by themselves create an attorney-client relationship unless the Firm has separately confirmed the engagement in writing by a fully executed Retainer Agreement.

The Firm is not responsible for the acts, omissions, security practices, availability, or terms of third-party websites or services, except to the extent required by applicable law or professional obligations.

Prior results, testimonials, descriptions of experience, practice-area summaries, articles, or general website statements do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Every legal matter depends on its own facts, documents, evidence, parties, deadlines, applicable law, forum, judge, opposing counsel, and other circumstances beyond the Firm’s control.

This website may be considered attorney advertising under applicable rules. The Firm intends its website to comply with applicable Florida Rules of Professional Conduct and other governing professional obligations.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to limit the Firm’s professional obligations to clients, court rules, ethical duties, trust-account obligations, or obligations under applicable law. If these Terms of Use conflict with a mandatory professional responsibility rule, the mandatory rule controls.

Your use of the website is also governed by the Firm’s Privacy Policy, which explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected. Please review the Privacy Policy before submitting information through the website.

The website may include links to courts, government agencies, professional organizations, payment processors, maps, articles, or other third-party resources. These links are provided for convenience only.

The Firm does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms of use of third-party websites or resources. A link does not mean the Firm endorses the third party or its content.

The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Firm disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, non-infringement, availability, and security.

The Firm does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Firm, its attorney, employees, contractors, agents, vendors, and representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to use of the website, inability to use the website, website content, third-party links, or information submitted through the website.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to limit liability in a manner prohibited by applicable law or professional responsibility rules.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Firm, its attorney, employees, contractors, agents, vendors, and representatives from and against claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of your misuse of the website, your violation of these Terms of Use, your violation of law, your unauthorized submission of third-party materials, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

This section does not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law or professional responsibility rules.

If you believe material on the website infringes your copyright, please contact the Firm at info@morrielevine.com and identify the material, the location of the material, your contact information, and the basis for your claim. The Firm may request additional information to evaluate the request.

The Firm reserves the right to remove or disable access to material when appropriate and to take any other action available under law.

These Terms of Use and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the website are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and, where applicable, the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would result in the application of any other law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the website shall be brought exclusively in (i) the state courts of competent jurisdiction located in Broward County, Florida, or (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and you irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You waive any objection to venue in such courts, including any claim that such forum is inconvenient or improper (including any objection based on forum non conveniens).

The Firm may modify, suspend, or discontinue the website or any website feature at any time without notice. The Firm may update these Terms of Use by posting a revised version with a new effective date.

Your continued use of the website after revised Terms are posted means that the revised Terms of Use apply to your use going forward.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Firm’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use is not a waiver of the Firm’s right to enforce that provision or any other provision later. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Firm to be effective.

These Terms of Use, together with the Firm’s Privacy Policy and any written Retainer Agreement that may later be entered into between the Firm and a client, govern use of the website. For legal representation, the written Retainer Agreement controls the attorney-client relationship and scope of representation.
