The information, resources, programs, tools, materials, and services provided by Legally Women Foundation (“LWF”) are intended for educational, informational, organizational, and court-readiness purposes only.
Not Legal Advice.
Legally Women Foundation is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal services.
Nothing contained on this website, in LWF educational materials, during workshops, through intake communications, or through interactions with LWF staff, volunteers, board members, or program personnel should be interpreted as legal advice.
Information provided by LWF is general in nature and may not apply to the specific facts or circumstances of your case.
Family law and court procedures can vary based on jurisdiction, individual circumstances, changes in law, local court rules, and judicial decisions. Individuals should consult a licensed attorney regarding questions about their specific legal rights, obligations, options, deadlines, or strategy.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using this website, submitting an intake form, attending an LWF program, receiving educational materials, communicating with LWF, or receiving assistance from LWF does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Legally Women Foundation, its staff, volunteers, board members, or representatives.
Communications with LWF are not automatically protected by attorney-client privilege.
If LWF refers you to an independent attorney or an attorney participates in an LWF event, program, clinic, or educational presentation, any attorney-client relationship must be separately established between you and that attorney.

LWF does not determine what legal position an individual should take, advise an individual what claims or defenses to pursue, provide legal strategy, or represent individuals in court.
No Guarantee of Outcomes
Every family court matter is different.
Legally Women Foundation makes no guarantee, promise, or representation regarding the outcome of any legal matter, court proceeding, mediation, negotiation, hearing, trial, or other legal process.
