TERMS OF USE

Effective Date: August 22, 2026

Terms of Use for Haynicz Law PLLC

Welcome to the website of Haynicz Law PLLC (the “Firm”), located at www.hayniczlaw.com.

Federal law requires debt relief agencies to provide certain information to consumer debtors. The Firm assists people in filing for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of this website, including all content, information, materials, and services made available through the website (collectively, the "Website").

By accessing or using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you should not use this Website.

1. Educational Information Only

The material contained on this Website is provided solely for general informational and educational purposes.

This website may be considered attorney advertising under applicable rules of certain jurisdictions, including Florida.

Although the Website may discuss bankruptcy law, debt relief options, legal procedures, court processes, or related topics, the information provided is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice for any specific matter.

Bankruptcy law and related legal issues depend on the facts of each individual case, and laws may change over time. You should consult with a qualified attorney regarding your specific circumstances before making legal decisions.

2. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of this Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only when:

  1. The Firm has completed a conflict-of-interest review;

  2. The Firm agrees to represent you; and

  3. Both you and the Firm execute a written engagement agreement.

Submitting information through a contact form, requesting a consultation, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, downloading information, or otherwise communicating through this Website does not create an attorney-client relationship.  

3. Confidentiality of Communications

Before an attorney-client relationship is established, information you submit may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege, and the Firm cannot guarantee that it will be treated as confidential.

4. Website Communications

The Website may permit visitors to submit inquiries through a contact form.

Submission of a contact form constitutes only a request for communication and does not obligate the Firm to provide legal services or respond to any inquiry.

The Firm reserves the right to decline to respond to inquiries or provide representation for any reason permitted by law and applicable ethical rules.

Information submitted through the Website may be transmitted to, processed by, or stored through third-party service providers used by the Firm, including website-hosting, communications, scheduling, cloud-storage, and legal-practice-management providers, as described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Text Messaging Communications

If you submit a form containing your mobile telephone number and affirmatively select the text-message consent checkbox, you consent to receive text messages from the Firm concerning your inquiry, consultation scheduling, appointment reminders, intake, document requests, and communications relating to potential or actual legal services.

Providing a mobile telephone number without affirmatively selecting the text-message consent checkbox does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive automated text messages.

Message frequency may vary based on your communications with the Firm.

Consent to receive text messages is not required as a condition of obtaining legal services.

Message and data rates may apply according to your wireless carrier's plan.

You may revoke your consent to receive text messages at any time by replying STOP or by using any other reasonable method that clearly communicates your desire not to receive further text messages. You may reply HELP for assistance or contact the Firm at paul@hayniczlaw.com. The Firm will process opt-out requests within the time required by applicable law.

The Firm does not guarantee the availability, delivery, or timing of text message communications. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Text messaging may not be a secure method of communication. Do not send confidential, privileged, sensitive, or time-sensitive information by text message unless specifically instructed to do so by the Firm through an approved communication method.

Receipt of a text message from the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Firm has completed a conflict review, agreed to representation, and a written engagement agreement has been executed.

For information regarding how personal information collected through text messaging communications is used, stored, and protected, please review the Firm’s Privacy Policy.

6. Privacy Policy

Your use of this Website is also governed by the Firm’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

Depending on the services and systems involved, safeguards may include encrypted transmission, access controls, authentication measures, security monitoring, software maintenance, and use of established third-party service providers.

Despite reasonable security efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, the Firm cannot and does not guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Website.

Visitors should use appropriate caution when transmitting information electronically.

Do not submit Social Security numbers, bank or financial account information, account credentials, tax returns, complete financial records, or other highly sensitive information through a general Website form unless the Firm specifically directs you to use an approved secure method.
