We may recommend or facilitate connections with third-party service providers (attorneys, accountants, designers, etc.). We are not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or outcomes of third-party services.
HLPFL respects the confidentiality of client information. We will not disclose confidential information shared during consultations or service engagements without your permission, except as required by law. Specific confidentiality terms will be outlined in service agreements.

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting HLPFL directly.
If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in a location mutually agreed upon by both parties.
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
