Effective date: October 5, 2026
01About these terms
These Terms of Use govern your use of https://tapaneslaw.com/ (the “Website”), operated by Tapanes Law, P.A., a Florida corporation doing business as Tapanes Law (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.
02Website purpose
The Website provides general information about our criminal defense, international criminal defense, civil litigation, business law, and real estate legal services. Our firm represents businesses and individuals locally, nationally, and internationally in state and federal matters.
The Website does not offer online purchases, appointment bookings, or user accounts. It is not directed to children.
03No legal advice or attorney-client relationship
Website content is for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from an attorney about your particular circumstances. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and may change, and Website information may not reflect the most recent developments.
Accessing the Website, reading its content, submitting an inquiry, or contacting the firm does not establish an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship must be established in writing before you rely on the firm to represent you.
Do not submit confidential, sensitive, or privileged information before an attorney-client relationship has been established in writing. Do not assume that an unsolicited inquiry is confidential or protected by attorney-client privilege.
Submitting an inquiry does not mean that the firm has accepted your matter or agreed to protect any deadline. Do not rely on a Website inquiry to meet a filing deadline or address an urgent legal matter.
04No guarantee of results
Descriptions of our services, experience, or prior matters do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future matter. Each legal matter depends on its own facts, applicable law, and other circumstances.
The Website’s availability does not mean that any attorney is authorized to practice in every jurisdiction from which the Website may be accessed.
05Inquiries and privacy
The Website’s inquiry form collects your first and last name, email address, legal matter type, and brief message. You may also provide a phone number. The form requires a privacy acknowledgment and consent to responses about your inquiry.
When submitting an inquiry: provide accurate information and contact details; keep your message brief and avoid confidential or sensitive details; do not submit information on behalf of another person without appropriate authority; and do not use the form for unlawful, abusive, deceptive, or unsolicited promotional communications.
Please consult the Website’s Privacy Policy for information about personal information collected through the Website. These Terms of Use do not replace that policy or authorize uses of personal information beyond the permissions and notices applicable to its collection.
06Permitted use
You may use the Website for lawful informational purposes and to inquire about our services.
You may not: use the Website in violation of applicable law or another person’s rights; impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation; attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its hosting systems, or related communications; introduce malicious code or interfere with the Website’s security, operation, or availability; collect information from the Website through automated means that disrupt its operation or bypass access restrictions; or copy, distribute, alter, or exploit Website content except as permitted by these terms or applicable law.
07Intellectual property
Website content, including text, graphics, logos, and design elements, is owned by Tapanes Law, P.A. or its respective rights holders and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may view the Website and download or print limited portions for personal, noncommercial informational use, provided you retain any copyright and other proprietary notices. This permission does not transfer ownership or grant a license to use our name or logo for endorsements, advertising, or other commercial purposes.
Other uses require permission from the appropriate rights holder unless otherwise permitted by applicable law.
08Third-party features
The Website includes a link to Google Maps for directions. Your use of that service is subject to Google’s applicable terms and privacy notices.
We do not control third-party services or warrant their accuracy, availability, security, or operation. The inclusion of a third-party feature does not constitute an endorsement of all content or services offered by that third party.
09Website availability and disclaimers
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement.
We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that its content will always be accurate, complete, or current.

This limitation applies to Website use and does not limit duties or liabilities arising from an attorney-client relationship. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits rights that cannot be waived under applicable law or applicable rules of professional conduct.
11Governing law
These Terms of Use and disputes arising from Website use are governed by Florida law, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
These terms concern Website use only. Any attorney-client engagement is subject to its separate written agreement and applicable professional obligations.
12Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Use by posting revised terms on the Website and changing the effective date. Please check this page when using the Website. Your continued use following the posting of revised terms constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.
