Terms of use
Effective date: January 1, 2026
Welcome to the website of Harbor & Vale Trial Lawyers PLLC (“the firm”). By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site — though you’re always welcome to call us at (253) 555-0188.
Attorney advertising
This website is attorney advertising. It is intended to provide general information about the firm and the areas of law in which we practice. Prior results described on this site do not guarantee, warrant, or predict a similar outcome in any future matter — every case turns on its own facts.
No legal advice
Nothing on this website is legal advice. The law changes, deadlines vary with facts, and general information can be wrong for your specific situation. Do not act — or decline to act — based on anything you read here without obtaining advice from a licensed attorney about your particular circumstances.
No attorney–client relationship
Using this website, reading its content, or sending the firm a message through it does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship with the firm is formed only when both of the following have happened: (1) we have completed a conflicts check and expressly agreed to represent you, and (2) you have signed a written engagement agreement. Until then, do not send us confidential information, and be aware that anything you send may not be protected as privileged.
No guarantee of results
Case results, client reviews, and descriptions of our approach reflect specific past matters and individual experiences. They are not promises about your case. The outcome of any legal matter depends on its unique facts, the applicable law, the available evidence and insurance, and factors no lawyer controls.
Jurisdiction
Our attorneys are licensed in Washington and, where noted, Oregon, and we practice from our office in Tacoma, Washington. This website is not an offer to represent anyone in a jurisdiction where we are not admitted, and we do not seek to represent anyone based solely on their viewing this site in a jurisdiction where it fails to comply with local rules.
Intellectual property
The content of this site — text, design, and graphics — belongs to the firm. You may view, print, and share it for personal, non-commercial purposes; any other use requires our written permission.
Third-party links
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Limitation of liability
This site is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, the firm disclaims all warranties regarding the site and will not be liable for damages arising from its use — including reliance on any information it contains.
Changes
We may update these terms at any time by posting a revised version here. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept them.

Template note
Lawyer-advertising rules differ meaningfully by state — some require specific disclaimers, filing copies of ads, or the words “Attorney Advertising” in set places. Before launch, have these terms, the footer disclaimer, and every results/testimonial section reviewed against your state bar’s rules of professional conduct.
