Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: [Insert Effective Date]
Last Updated: [Insert Last Updated Date]

Weltin Law, P.C. (“Weltin Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to improving the accessibility and usability of its website for people with disabilities.

We recognize that website visitors may use different devices, browsers, assistive technologies, and methods of interaction. Our goal is to provide access to general information about the firm, its legal services, and its contact options in a manner that is usable by as many people as reasonably possible.

1. Our Accessibility Commitment

Weltin Law seeks to improve the accessibility of its website through ongoing review, maintenance, and updates.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. Website content, themes, plugins, third-party services, embedded media, and assistive technologies may change over time.

For that reason, we do not represent that every page, feature, document, video, or third-party component is fully accessible at all times.

The U.S. Department of Justice explains that inaccessible website features may prevent people with disabilities from accessing the goods and services offered by businesses open to the public. It also recognizes that businesses have flexibility in determining how to make their online services accessible.

2. Accessibility Guidelines

As part of our accessibility efforts, we may use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as a reference for reviewing and improving the website.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, commonly known as WCAG, are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium to provide a shared international standard for accessible web content.

Where reasonably practicable, our efforts may include consideration of:

  • keyboard navigation;
  • text alternatives for meaningful images;
  • descriptive links and buttons;
  • readable text and headings;
  • sufficient visual contrast;
  • compatibility with screen readers;
  • clear form labels;
  • logical page structure;
  • captions or transcripts for multimedia;
  • visible keyboard focus;
  • responsive layouts; and
  • content that can be enlarged without unnecessary loss of functionality.

Reference to WCAG does not constitute a representation or warranty that the website currently satisfies every success criterion at a particular conformance level.

3. Measures We May Take

Weltin Law may take measures such as:

  • reviewing new pages before or after publication;
  • adding alternative text to meaningful images;
  • correcting heading structure;
  • improving link and button descriptions;
  • reviewing color contrast;
  • improving keyboard accessibility;
  • adding labels or instructions to forms;
  • correcting duplicated or missing element identifiers;
  • reviewing content on desktop and mobile devices;
  • adding captions or transcripts where appropriate;
  • correcting issues identified by visitors;
  • reviewing accessibility when themes or plugins change; and
  • working with website service providers when technical corrections are needed.

Accessibility improvements may be implemented gradually based on priority, technical feasibility, available resources, and the effect of an issue on visitors.

4. Website Forms

The website includes contact and case-review forms.

We seek to make these forms understandable and usable through features that may include:

  • visible field labels;
  • clear instructions;
  • understandable error messages;
  • logical keyboard navigation;
  • identifiable required fields; and
  • buttons with descriptive text.

Some form functionality may depend on third-party technologies, including spam-prevention and security services.

A person who cannot use a website form may contact Weltin Law by telephone or email.

Submitting a form, email, or telephone inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee representation.

5. Images and Alternative Text

We seek to provide text alternatives for meaningful website images where reasonably appropriate.

Decorative images may use empty alternative text or may be implemented as backgrounds so that assistive technologies can ignore them.

Some historical, automatically generated, stock, embedded, or third-party images may not contain complete alternative text.

We may update alternative text when accessibility issues are identified.

6. Videos, Audio, and Multimedia

The website and Weltin Law’s social media channels may include:

  • videos;
  • animations;
  • voiceovers;
  • avatars;
  • testimonial portrayals;
  • artificial intelligence-generated media; and
  • other audiovisual content.

Where reasonably appropriate, multimedia may include:

  • captions;
  • subtitles;
  • transcripts;
  • accompanying written summaries; or
  • other text-based information.

Automatically generated captions or translations may contain errors.

Visitors who need information from a video or audio recording in another format may contact the firm.

7. Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content

Some website or social media content may be created, translated, edited, captioned, voiced, or enhanced with artificial intelligence.

AI-generated content may occasionally include:

  • inaccurate captions;
  • pronunciation errors;
  • translation errors;
  • visual artifacts;
  • unclear descriptions; or
  • other accessibility limitations.

Weltin Law may review and correct such content when issues are identified.

Additional information is available in the AI and Media Disclosure.

8. Languages and Translations

The website may provide information in English and Spanish.

Translations may be prepared with human assistance, software, artificial intelligence, or a combination of methods.

Translated content may not reproduce every legal term or accessibility feature with complete precision.

Visitors who need clarification or assistance in accessing translated content may contact the firm.

9. Keyboard Navigation

Many visitors navigate websites without using a mouse.

We seek to support keyboard access for primary website functions, including:

  • navigation menus;
  • links;
  • buttons;
  • forms;
  • cookie controls; and
  • other interactive elements.

Some third-party widgets, embedded content, or plugin-generated components may have limitations outside our direct control.

Visitors who encounter keyboard-access problems are encouraged to report the specific page and element involved.

10. Screen Readers and Assistive Technologies

The website is intended to be compatible with commonly used browsers and assistive technologies.

Actual performance may vary depending on:

  • the browser;
  • operating system;
  • screen reader;
  • device;
  • accessibility settings;
  • software version;
  • browser extensions; and
  • third-party website components.

Using a current version of a browser and assistive technology may improve compatibility.

11. Text Size and Display Settings

Visitors may be able to adjust text size, zoom, contrast, and other display settings through their browser, operating system, or device.

The website is designed to support common browser-zoom functions, but certain layouts or third-party components may not display perfectly at every zoom level.

Visitors who cannot access information after adjusting display settings may contact the firm for assistance.

12. Color and Visual Presentation

We seek to avoid relying solely on color to communicate essential information.

We may review:

  • text contrast;
  • button contrast;
  • link visibility;
  • focus indicators;
  • error messages; and
  • readability over background images.

Color perception, screen settings, browser rendering, and device quality may affect how content appears.

13. Third-Party Content and Services

The website may use or link to third-party services, including:

  • Google Analytics;
  • Google reCAPTCHA;
  • Complianz cookie controls;
  • video platforms;
  • maps;
  • social media platforms;
  • government websites;
  • legal resources;
  • embedded media; and
  • other external websites.

Weltin Law does not control the accessibility of third-party websites, platforms, plugins, or embedded content.

Although we may contact a provider or seek an alternative when a significant issue is identified, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of services operated by third parties.

14. Google reCAPTCHA

The website uses Google reCAPTCHA to help protect forms from spam and automated submissions.

Security challenges and automated risk-analysis tools may create accessibility difficulties for some visitors.

A person who cannot complete a form because of reCAPTCHA or another security feature may contact Weltin Law by telephone or email.

15. Cookie-Consent Controls

The website uses Complianz to display cookie information and consent controls.

The accessibility and functionality of the banner may depend on:

  • browser settings;
  • device settings;
  • JavaScript;
  • regional configuration;
  • keyboard interaction; and
  • the version of the consent-management software.

Visitors who cannot access or change cookie preferences may contact the firm or use browser-level privacy controls.

16. Documents and Downloadable Materials

The website may include downloadable documents or links to documents hosted by government agencies or other third parties.

Some documents, particularly older PDFs or third-party materials, may not be fully compatible with screen readers or other assistive technologies.

Visitors who need information from a document in another format may contact Weltin Law and identify:

  • the document;
  • the page where it appears; and
  • the type of assistance or format needed.

We will review the request and respond as reasonably appropriate.

17. Alternative Ways to Access Information

A person who cannot access information or complete an action through the website may contact Weltin Law through another available method.

Telephone: (510) 251-6060
Email: reception@weltinlaw.com

When contacting us about an accessibility issue, please provide:

  • the webpage address or title;
  • a description of the problem;
  • the device or browser being used, when relevant;
  • the assistive technology involved, when relevant; and
  • the preferred way to receive the information.

Do not include unnecessary confidential, medical, financial, or highly sensitive information in an accessibility request.

18. Accessibility Feedback

We welcome feedback concerning accessibility barriers.

Reports may involve:

  • inaccessible navigation;
  • missing alternative text;
  • insufficient color contrast;
  • keyboard-navigation problems;
  • unlabeled form fields;
  • inaccessible documents;
  • missing captions;
  • screen-reader compatibility;
  • unclear links or buttons; or

Website Accessibility Request

19. Response to Accessibility Requests

Weltin Law will review accessibility requests and respond as soon as reasonably possible during regular business operations.

The time required to address a request may depend on:

  • the nature of the barrier;
  • the amount of content involved;
  • whether a third-party service is involved;
  • technical complexity;
  • the requested alternative format; and
  • available resources.

We do not guarantee an immediate correction or a particular technical solution.

Where appropriate, we may provide the requested information through an alternative method while a website issue is reviewed.

20. No Guarantee of Complete Accessibility

Weltin Law is committed to improving accessibility, but no website can be guaranteed to operate without accessibility barriers for every user, device, browser, or assistive technology.

This statement should not be interpreted as:

  • a certification of full WCAG compliance;
  • a representation that every page has been independently audited;
  • a guarantee that no accessibility barriers exist;
  • a waiver of any right or obligation; or
  • legal advice concerning accessibility law.

21. Ongoing Review

Accessibility is an ongoing effort rather than a one-time project.

We may review or update the website when:

  • new pages are published;
  • existing content is revised;
  • themes or plugins change;
  • forms are modified;
  • multimedia is added;
  • accessibility feedback is received;
  • technical standards change; or
  • legal guidance develops.

The Department of Justice recommends considering a range of website features and integrating accessibility into policies and procedures rather than treating it solely as a one-time technical task.

22. Changes to This Accessibility Statement

Weltin Law may update this Accessibility Statement when:

  • accessibility practices change;
  • website features change;
  • new technologies are implemented;
  • testing or remediation occurs;
  • contact procedures change; or
  • applicable guidance or legal requirements change.

The revised statement will be posted with a new “Last Updated” date.
