Accessibility Notice
Our Commitment to Website Accessibility
Last Updated: October 22, 2026
The Burton Firm, LLC is committed to making our website accessible to individuals with disabilities. We believe everyone should have reasonable access to information about legal services, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.
Our goal is to provide a website that is easy to read, understand and use. We recognize that some visitors rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification or other assistive technologies to access online information.
This Accessibility Notice explains our approach to website accessibility, the standards we consider and how visitors can report problems or request assistance.
Our Website Accessibility Goals
We aim to provide an accessible online experience for individuals seeking information about The Burton Firm and our legal services.
Accessibility is an ongoing consideration as website content, technology and visitor needs change. We recognize that accessibility barriers can affect how individuals find information, complete forms and communicate with our office.
Our accessibility goals include:
- Providing readable text and organized website content
- Using descriptive headings and meaningful link text
- Supporting keyboard access to website navigation and interactive features
- Improving compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
- Providing appropriate text alternatives for meaningful images
- Considering color contrast and text readability when updating website content
- Making contact information and communication options easy to locate
- Identifying and addressing accessibility barriers when they are reported
We consider accessibility when making decisions about website content, design and functionality. We also welcome feedback from visitors who experience difficulties using our website.
Website Accessibility Standards
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide recognized recommendations for making online content more accessible to people with disabilities.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA provides guidance for evaluating issues involving text readability, keyboard access, navigation, visual presentation and compatibility with assistive technologies.
We use these principles as a reference when considering accessibility improvements. However, this notice does not represent a certification or guarantee that every page, document or feature on our website currently conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
Visitors can learn more about these recommendations through the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative.
Using Assistive Technologies
Visitors may use assistive technologies or browser features that meet their individual needs. These tools can include screen readers, voice recognition software, screen magnifiers and keyboard-based navigation.
Many browsers and operating systems provide settings that allow users to adjust text size, display contrast, screen magnification and other accessibility preferences.
The availability and effectiveness of these features depend on the browser, device and assistive technology being used. Some website features may behave differently across software platforms.
Known Limitations and Accessibility Barriers
Although we aim to improve website accessibility, some content or features may not work as expected for every visitor.
Accessibility problems may involve older website content, third-party features, embedded materials, downloadable documents or differences between browsers and assistive technologies.
We cannot guarantee that every website feature will function identically across all devices, software versions and accessibility tools.
If you encounter a barrier, we encourage you to report it so we can review the problem and determine an appropriate response.
Third-Party Content and External Websites
Our website may contain links to outside resources or features provided by third-party services. These can include maps, videos, payment systems or other online tools.
Third-party websites and services maintain their own accessibility practices. The Burton Firm does not control the design, operation or accessibility of independently managed websites.
We encourage outside providers to consider accessibility. However, we cannot guarantee that every external service or linked resource will meet a particular accessibility standard.
If an outside feature prevents you from obtaining information or completing a necessary task, please contact our office for assistance.
Reporting an Accessibility Problem
We welcome feedback from visitors who have difficulty accessing information or using a feature on our website.
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please contact The Burton Firm and describe the problem. Providing a few details can help us identify the affected content and understand the issue.
When reporting a problem, please include the following information if available:
- The website page or URL where the problem occurred
- A brief description of the accessibility issue
- The device and browser you were using
- The assistive technology involved, if applicable
- Your preferred method of receiving a response
You do not need to disclose a medical diagnosis or provide unnecessary personal information when reporting an accessibility concern.
We will review reported issues and consider appropriate corrective measures based on the nature of the problem.
Requesting Information in an Alternative Format
If you cannot access information on our website because of a disability-related barrier, you may contact our office to request assistance or an alternative way to obtain the information.
Depending on the material requested and the circumstances involved, we may be able to provide information through telephone communication, email or another suitable format.
For example, if a website contact form is difficult to use, you can contact our office by telephone or email instead.
We will consider reasonable accessibility requests and work with you to identify an appropriate communication method.
Please call (301) 901-5549 or email hello@thelegalcounsel.com if you need assistance accessing website information or communicating with our office.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you may contact us through Maryland Relay by dialing 711. Relay services provide an additional communication option for individuals who use supported telecommunications services.
Ongoing Accessibility Improvements
Website accessibility requires attention as new pages, documents and features are introduced. Changes to browsers, devices and third-party software can also affect how visitors experience a website.
When accessibility concerns are identified, we may evaluate the affected content, review possible solutions and make appropriate adjustments.
Our approach includes considering accessibility during website updates and responding to reported barriers.
Feedback from visitors helps us identify problems that may not be apparent during ordinary website use.
Privacy and Website Communications
Information submitted when reporting an accessibility problem may include your name, contact information and details about the issue you experienced.
We use this information to understand your request, communicate with you and evaluate potential accessibility improvements.
