Disclaimer

This website is an advertisement for legal services, published by Spanski Law, PLLC, a Florida professional limited liability company with its office at 304 W. Venice Ave, Suite 217, Venice, FL 34285. The attorney responsible for its content is Season A. Chisholm, a member of The Florida Bar. Choosing a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertising; you are welcome to ask about the attorney's qualifications and experience before deciding.

The pages, notes, checklists, and answers on this site are general information about Florida estate planning and probate. They are written to help families understand how Florida law generally works, not to address any particular situation, and they are no substitute for advice from a lawyer who knows your facts. Florida law and court procedure change; while the firm tries to keep the site current, no promise is made that any page is complete, accurate, or up to date on the day you read it.

Nothing here should be acted on, or refrained from, without first speaking with a qualified attorney. If you are facing a deadline, such as a creditor claim period, a court date, or a statute of limitations, please seek advice promptly rather than relying on anything published here.

The chat window on this site, and the automated assistant that may answer calls to the firm, are artificial intelligence (AI) programs. They are not lawyers, and they are not Season or employees of Spanski Law. Their answers are general information that may be incomplete or wrong, not legal advice, and using them does not create an attorney-client relationship. The AI Policy explains how the firm uses AI and where it does not.

Reading this site, sending a form, using the chat assistant, calling the office, or taking part in a complimentary 15-minute call or in-person consultation does not make you a client of Spanski Law. An attorney-client relationship begins only when the firm has agreed to represent you and both you and the firm have signed a written engagement agreement that describes the scope of the work and the fee.

Information you send before that point is handled with care and consistent with the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar concerning prospective clients. Even so, please do not send confidential or time-sensitive details through the website; use it to arrange a conversation, and save the details for the call. Spanski Law cannot act on unsolicited information and cannot be responsible for deadlines that run before an engagement is confirmed.

Client reviews shown on this site are verbatim from actual clients, drawn from the firm's public Google Business Profile. They reflect those clients' own experiences. A prospective client may not obtain the same or similar results, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any matter.

References to flat fees and written fee estimates describe how the firm generally prices its work. The fee for any matter is set out in the written proposal sent after the complimentary 15-minute call or in-person consultation, and that document, together with the engagement agreement, controls. Court filing fees, recording fees, publication costs, and similar third-party charges are separate from attorney's fees unless the proposal says otherwise.

Season A. Chisholm is licensed to practice law in the State of Florida and serves clients from the firm's Venice office, principally in Sarasota County and the surrounding Gulf Coast communities. Neither the firm nor its attorney seeks to represent anyone in a state where this website does not comply with that state's rules on lawyer advertising, and nothing here is an offer to practice law outside Florida. Descriptions of practice areas are not claims of specialization or board certification unless that certification is stated expressly.

The site links to and embeds content from other providers, including Google Maps, Google Reviews, the chat assistant, and statutes published by the State of Florida. Those resources are not maintained by Spanski Law, and a link does not mean the firm endorses or is responsible for what appears there. The Privacy Policy explains what those services may collect.

Spanski Law wants every visitor to be able to use this site and the office. The Accessibility Statement describes how the site is built, where it may fall short, and how to get information in another format. Accessibility needs for meetings can be mentioned when scheduling.

The text, photographs, and design of this site belong to Spanski Law, PLLC or are used with permission. Personal, non-commercial use, such as printing a checklist for your own planning, is welcome; any other reproduction requires the firm's written consent. The Terms of Use describe how the site may be used.
