Our Commitment to Access to Justice

We believe that access to legal services should be available to everyone, regardless of ability. As a Connecticut-licensed attorney serving clients nationwide, we strive to make our website and legal services accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.

This commitment aligns with our professional responsibility to serve the public and ensure equal access to justice for all members of our community.

Third-Party Tools & Services

We use several third-party services to provide legal services efficiently. We have selected vendors committed to accessibility:

Calendly (Scheduling)

Our appointment scheduling system is provided by Calendly, which maintains WCAG 2.1 AA conformance and provides keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and other accessibility features.

MyCase (Client Portal)

Our secure client portal is powered by MyCase, which is committed to accessibility and provides features including keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and adjustable text sizing.

Google Analytics
