These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of
www.birg.law (the “Site”), operated by Birg Law (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By visiting the Site, browsing its pages, or submitting information through it, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site.
No Legal Advice
The content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney about your particular situation. Immigration law changes frequently, and outcomes depend on facts specific to each case. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything you read here without first consulting a qualified attorney.
We make no representation that the information on this Site is current, complete, or applicable to your circumstances.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using this Site, reading its content, or sending us a message through a contact form, by email, or by phone does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship between you and Birg Law. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have checked for conflicts of interest, agreed to represent you, and you have signed a written engagement agreement with our firm.
Because no relationship exists until then, please do not send us confidential or time-sensitive information through the Site. Information you send before we agree to represent you may not be treated as privileged or confidential, and we may already represent another party with interests adverse to yours.
Deadlines and Time-Sensitive Matters
Immigration matters are frequently governed by strict filing deadlines. We cannot take responsibility for any deadline unless we have agreed in writing to represent you. Do not rely on the Site or on an unanswered message to preserve your rights in a pending matter.
Use of the Site
You may view, download, and print pages from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use. When using the Site, you agree not to:
- Use it for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
- Copy, republish, or redistribute its content for commercial purposes without our written permission.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected system.
- Introduce viruses, malware, or any other material that is malicious or technologically harmful.
- Use automated systems to scrape, harvest, or overload the Site or its contact forms.
- Submit false, misleading, or third-party information through our forms without authorization.
We may suspend or restrict access to the Site at any time, without notice, if we believe these Terms have been breached.
Intellectual Property
All content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, the Birg Law name and marks, photographs, page layout, and code — is owned by Birg Law or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright and trademark law. Nothing on the Site grants you a license to use our name, marks, or content except as expressly permitted in these Terms.
Attorney Advertising
Portions of this Site may be considered attorney advertising under the rules of certain jurisdictions. Prior results described on the Site do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. Testimonials and case descriptions reflect the facts of those particular matters and should not be understood as a promise about your own.
Birg Law attorneys are licensed to practice in the jurisdictions identified on their individual profiles. Immigration law is federal, which allows us to serve clients nationwide; nothing on this Site is an offer to practice law in a jurisdiction where our attorneys are not authorized to do so.
Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to government resources and other third-party websites. We provide these links for convenience only. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their content, and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, or privacy practices. Visiting a linked site is done at your own risk and subject to that site’s own terms.
Privacy and Cookies
Information you submit through the Site is handled as described in our
Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is described in our
Cookies Policy. Please review both documents; together with these Terms, they govern your use of the Site.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors or harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Birg Law and its attorneys, employees, and agents will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, use of, or inability to use the Site, or your reliance on any content it contains. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Birg Law and its attorneys, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, or expense — including reasonable attorneys’ fees — arising out of your misuse of the Site or your breach of these Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. Any revision takes effect as soon as it is posted on this page, and your continued use of the Site after that point means you accept the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect.
