Internet subscribers and online readers should seek professional counsel about their legal rights and remedies. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any information found on this site.

LawTask PLLC expressly disclaims all liability with respect to actions taken or not taken based on any information or other contents of this site. Viewing the LawTask site, or communicating with LawTask by Internet email or through this site, does not constitute or create an attorney-client relationship with anyone. The content and features on this site do not create, and are not intended to create, an attorney-client relationship, and shall not be construed as legal advice. This content and features of this website, including means to submit a question or information, do not constitute an offer to represent you.
Use of the Site or Services does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and LawTask or any LawTask attorney. An attorney-client relationship is only formed through a written limited scope engagement agreement between you and LawTask PLLC.
You acknowledge that LawTask reserves the right to refuse service to anyone and to cancel user access at any time.
- Confidentiality is Not Guaranteed
Any information sent to LawTask PLLC via Internet email or through the website is not secure and is done on a non-confidential basis. LawTask respects the privacy of any person who contacts our firm and will make reasonable efforts to keep information private, but due to the nature of Internet communications and the absence of an attorney-client relationship, we cannot promise or guarantee confidentiality. Except as may be required in connection with your use of LawTask Services, LawTask does not want you to submit confidential or proprietary information to us through this Site or any Applications. All comments, feedback, information or material submitted to LawTask through or in association with this Site shall be considered non-confidential and LawTask’s property. By providing such submissions to LawTask you hereby assign to LawTask, at no charge, all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the submissions and any intellectual property rights associated therewith. LawTask shall be free to use and/or disseminate such submissions on an unrestricted basis for any purpose. You acknowledge that you are responsible for the submissions that you provide, including their legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality and content.
- LawTask PLLC Is Not Responsible for Content
LawTask PLLC may periodically change, remove, or add the material on this website without notice. This material may contain technical or typographical errors. LawTask does not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or suitability. LawTask assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the contents of this website. Your use of this website is at your own risk. Under no circumstances shall LawTask or any other party involved in the creation, production, or delivery of this website be liable to you or any other person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind arising from your access to, or use of, this website. IN NO EVENT SHALL LawTask PLLC BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS MATERIAL, FOR ANY USE OF THIS WEBSITE, OR FOR ANY OTHER LINKED WEBSITE.
- Third-party Websites
This website contains links to third-party websites for the convenience of our users. LawTask does not endorse any of these third-party sites and does not imply any association between LawTask and those sites. LawTask does not control these third-party websites and cannot represent that their policies and practices will be consistent with these Terms of Use. If you use links to access and use such websites, you do so at your own risk. LawTask is not responsible for the contents or availability of any linked sites. These links are provided only as a convenience to the recipient.
- State Laws Vary
The laws of each state are different. This website contains information about general or common rules that apply in some states. This website also contains information about verdicts or settlements in past cases. You cannot assume that the same rules apply, or that the same result would occur, in your state or any particular state.
The Statute of Limitations is especially important. Every state has laws called the “statute of limitations” which set a deadline to file a lawsuit. That means that a lawsuit filed too late may be thrown out, regardless of the defendant’s fault or the severity of the injuries. 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 accident, perhaps within three months. Because investigation and research are needed to identify all possible defendants and theories of recovery, if you have an accident or injury, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
- Legal and Ethical Requirements
LawTask PLLC has tried to comply with all legal and ethical requirements in compiling the website. 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 this website if it complies with all legal or 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 this website, LawTask PLLC designates its principal office at 6650 W Indiantown Road, Suite 314, Jupiter, FL 33458 and Eric Hornick as the responsible attorney.
- State Advertising Disclosures
Because some material on this website constitutes lawyer advertising, and this website may be viewed from anywhere in the United States, particular disclosures are required by the rules of some states. LawTask 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.
- Attorney Access Services; Use of Term “Experience.”
The term “experience” or “experienced,” as used on the Site, Platform, and in other communications in reference to LawTask’s legal plans or other attorney access services means that the legal plan primary handling partner of each law firm fulfills the following: (a) possesses a minimum of five years’ experience practicing law, (b) maintains errors and omissions insurance policies consistent with industry standards, (c) is in good standing with the state bar in each jurisdiction in which the attorney is licensed to practice, (d) has no pending malpractice lawsuit, as of the date of joining one of LawTask’s legal plans, and (e) has no public record of discipline by a state bar within the last five years. The term “experience” or “experienced” is not intended to be a comparison to any other attorney’s services or qualifications.
- Privacy Policy
Your use of the Site and Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://lawtask.com/privacy-policy/. By using the Site and Services, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.
- User Accounts
To access certain features of the Site and Services, you may be required to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
- Subscription Services, Rates and Fees
LawTask offers subscription-based legal services. By subscribing to our Services, you agree to pay the applicable subscription fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your account. Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law.
LawTask offers three subscription plans designed to meet the needs of companies at various levels. Upon notification to the client, the services provided or rates are subject to change due to an increase or decrease in client workflow or market adjustments from time to time. Even if you do not use our products or services, you are responsible for paying the full cost of your subscription until you cancel your subscription or until it is otherwise terminated.
Subscription fees are invoiced every 30 days. Payment is due within 3 days from the invoice date. Subscriptions are automatically renewed each month. Clients may opt-out or change plans with 30 days’ notice prior to the next billing cycle. Clients can cancel their subscription with no penalty by providing written notice at least 30 days before the renewal date. Services will continue until the end of the last paid period after cancellation. LawTask is committed to providing flexible service options to accommodate the evolving needs of growing businesses. Clients can upgrade or modify their subscription plans as their business needs change, ensuring that legal support scales with their growth. In cases where service requests exceed the limits specified in the subscription plan, additional tasks will be billed at an hourly rate or a flat fee.
LawTask may discontinue the offering of a subscription, including the functionality, content, or availability of any features of subscriptions or third-party services at any time in its sole discretion. We may also impose limits on features and services or restrict your access to all or part of the subscription. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease benefits. If we add new features to a subscription, the new features will be subject to these terms. If you add a product or service to your subscription, LawTask has the discretion to charge you a prorated portion of the costs to align your renewal date with your current subscription. LawTask will provide you notice before doing so.
LawTask may increase subscription fees by notifying you of new fees at least 30 days before the beginning of a renewal term. The new fees will be effective on the first day of the renewal term. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees for the renewal term and subsequent renewal terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term). Reductions in fees become effective on the first day of the next renewal term without a pro rata adjustment for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.
- Promotional Trial Memberships
We sometimes offer customers one-week trial memberships, all of which are subject to this Agreement (unless otherwise stated in the offer). For a trial or other promotional membership with no initial charge, you agree we may authorize a charge of up to one dollar ($1) to your method of payment to verify your payment source. AT THE COMPLETION OF A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL BY CONTACTING US OR THROUGH THE “MY ACCOUNT” PORTAL, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY AND YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED TO BEGIN YOUR INITIAL MEMBERSHIP TERM.
