Legal Disclaimers & Privacy Policy

Attorney Advertising and Informational Use

• This website is published by Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC for general informational and advertising purposes concerning estate planning, probate, estate administration, and family dispute resolution matters in Texas.
• The content is intended to help visitors understand legal topics, common timelines, and the kinds of services the firm provides, but it is not a substitute for advice about your particular facts, deadlines, court posture, or family circumstances.
• No page, article, video, testimonial, or review on this website should be understood as a promise, prediction, or guarantee that the same result can be achieved in another matter.

No Legal Advice and No Automatic Attorney-Client Relationship

• Nothing on this website is legal advice, and reading the website does not create a duty for Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC to advise you about your matter.
• Viewing the site, sending an email, submitting a form, leaving a voicemail, or requesting a consultation does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship with Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC.
• An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the firm has completed its intake and conflict review, agreed to the scope of representation, and confirmed that representation in writing.

Confidential, Privileged, and Time-Sensitive Information

• Please do not send confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through public website forms, unsolicited email, social media messages, or voicemail until Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC has confirmed in writing that the firm represents you and has provided instructions for sharing information securely.
• Before representation begins, website communications may pass through ordinary office and technology systems used for intake, scheduling, routing, spam filtering, and response management.
• If your matter involves an immediate deadline, an active court setting, or an urgent dispute, do not assume that a website inquiry alone protects your rights or preserves a deadline.

Privacy, Cookies, and Website Activity

• Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC may collect basic technical information such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referral sources, and form-submission details to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
• The website may use cookies or similar tools to support core site functions, remember basic preferences, measure general traffic patterns, and help the firm understand how visitors use the site.
• Information submitted through the website may be used to respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, maintain ordinary business records, and manage the firm’s intake process.

Outside Links, Jurisdiction, and Results

• This website may link to outside resources, maps, payment platforms, and third-party websites for convenience. Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC does not control those outside services and is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, security, uptime, or terms of use.
• Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC practices in Texas, and the website is primarily directed to Texas legal matters. Any discussion of other jurisdictions, federal issues, or general legal principles is informational only unless the firm expressly states otherwise.
• Case summaries, client feedback, professional recognitions, and representative matters are included to describe the firm’s work and experience. They are not a guarantee of future outcomes, because every matter turns on its own facts, evidence, timing, and applicable law.

If you have questions about whether the firm can assist with a planning matter, a probate filing, estate administration, or a contested issue, the most reliable next step is to contact Rutherford Law Firm, PLLC directly for a consultation rather than relying on general website materials alone.
