Terms and Conditions
Last updated: September 8, 2026
These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of www.franklinservices-llc.com ("Website"), which is operated by Franklin Services LLC, the solo legal practice of Aaron Franklin, Esq. ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms.
Informational Purpose Only
The Website provides general information about the Firm and legal topics. Website content is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a lawyer about your individual circumstances. Laws change and their application depends on specific facts. You should seek advice from qualified counsel regarding your particular legal matter.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your use of the Website, request for a consultation, scheduling of an appointment, submission of an online inquiry, email or other communication with the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship arises only when the Firm and you enter into a written engagement agreement signed by the Firm.
The Firm may decline representation for any matter. You remain responsible for protecting your legal rights and meeting all deadlines unless and until the Firm confirms in writing that it represents you.
Communications and Confidential Information
Do not send confidential, sensitive or time-sensitive information through the Website, ordinary email, an online inquiry or a scheduling form. Electronic communications may not be secure and may not be protected by attorney-client privilege. Information you provide before the Firm agrees to represent you may be used to evaluate whether to offer a consultation or representation.
If you are already a client, use the communication methods identified in your engagement agreement or by the Firm.
Scheduling and Intake Services
The Website links to online scheduling and intake pages hosted through Clio Grow. Your use of those services is subject to Clio’s applicable terms and privacy policies. The Firm may receive information that you submit through the services and may use it to respond to your request, evaluate a potential representation or administer a consultation.
No Guarantee of Results
Website content, testimonials, endorsements, descriptions of prior matters and statements about legal services do not guarantee a particular outcome. Every legal matter is different, and prior results do not predict or guarantee a similar result in another matter.
Attorney Advertising
This Website may be considered attorney advertising. The Firm does not claim to be an expert, specialist or certified specialist except where permitted and expressly stated in accordance with applicable professional rules.

The Website and its text, design, graphics, logos and other content are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view, download or print Website content for personal, noncommercial use.

Third-Party Content and Links
The Website may link to third-party websites or services. Those websites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. The Firm is not responsible for their content, availability or practices.
