This website, aravanalaw.com (the “Site”), is published by Aravana Law, the trade name under which the following affiliated law firms operate:
References in these Terms to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Firm” mean both entities collectively, unless the context requires otherwise. Ara V. Naljian, Esq. is the attorney responsible for the content of this Site and is admitted to practice law in the States of New York and New Jersey.
Telephone: (347) 456-8567 • Email: info@aravanalaw.com
By accessing, browsing, or using the Site — including by submitting a contact form, requesting a consultation, subscribing to any mailing list, or communicating with us through any feature of the Site — you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.
We may revise these Terms at any time. Revisions take effect when posted, and the “Last Updated” date above will change. Your continued use of the Site after a revision is posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Nothing on this Site creates an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm, and no such relationship will exist unless and until we have (a) evaluated your matter, (b) confirmed that we have no conflict of interest, (c) expressly agreed in writing to represent you, and (d) executed a written retainer agreement with you.
Specifically, and without limitation:
Please do not send us confidential, privileged, or sensitive information through this Site, by unencrypted email, or through any social media channel until we have signed a written retainer agreement with you.
Information you transmit to us before an attorney-client relationship is formed may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine, may not be treated as confidential, and could, in some circumstances, be discoverable or subject to disclosure. Because we may already represent — or may later be asked to represent — a party adverse to you, unsolicited information you send us will not necessarily preclude us from representing another person in the same or a related matter.
Internet transmissions are not secure. Do not use the Site to communicate anything urgent or deadline-driven. If your matter is time-sensitive, call us at (347) 456-8567 and speak with a person.
Personal injury, wrongful death, and related claims are governed by strict filing deadlines. Missing a deadline will ordinarily bar your claim permanently, regardless of its merit. These deadlines are short and unforgiving in certain categories of cases, including without limitation:
Nothing on this Site should be relied upon to calculate any deadline applicable to your matter. Deadlines vary based on the identity of the defendant, the theory of liability, the age and capacity of the claimant, and other facts. Consult a licensed attorney immediately about your specific situation.
All content on the Site — including practice area descriptions, blog posts, articles, FAQs, guides, downloadable materials, videos, calculators, and case discussions — is provided for general informational and advertising purposes only. It is not legal advice, is not a substitute for the advice of a licensed attorney, and should not be acted or relied upon without professional consultation regarding your specific facts.
The law changes frequently and differs by state, county, and court. Content on the Site may be outdated, may not reflect the most current legal developments, and may not apply to your jurisdiction or circumstances. We disclaim any obligation to update Site content.
The Firm’s attorneys are admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey only. The Site is intended for viewers located in those states. We do not seek to represent anyone based solely on their viewing of this Site in a jurisdiction where the Site fails to comply with that jurisdiction’s laws or rules of professional conduct.
Nothing on this Site is intended to constitute the practice of law in, or solicitation of clients from, any jurisdiction in which our attorneys are not licensed. Where a matter requires representation outside New York or New Jersey, we may associate with or refer the matter to licensed local counsel, subject to your informed consent and applicable rules governing fee division.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Any description of past cases, verdicts, settlements, recoveries, or outcomes appearing on the Site is not a promise or guarantee of any particular result in your matter. Every case is different, and results depend on facts, evidence, liability, available insurance coverage, applicable law, medical proof, and other variables unique to each case. Case results described on the Site reflect gross recovery amounts before deduction of attorneys’ fees, costs, disbursements, liens, and other expenses unless otherwise expressly stated.
Any client testimonials or endorsements appearing on the Site reflect the experience of the individual client only and are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your matter. Testimonials are not paid, are used with the client’s permission, and have not been altered in substance.
No aspect of any advertisement, award, honor, rating, or recognition referenced on this Site has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. Awards, ratings, and recognitions are conferred by third-party organizations applying their own criteria, which may include peer nomination, self-nomination, or payment of a fee, and are not indicative of the quality of legal services to be performed.
We handle most personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis, meaning no attorney’s fee is charged unless and until we obtain a recovery on your behalf. This does not mean representation is free of all charges: depending on the terms of your written retainer agreement and applicable law, you may remain responsible for case costs and disbursements — including filing fees, court costs, deposition and transcript costs, expert fees, investigation costs, and medical record charges — and for satisfying medical liens, subrogation claims, and outstanding balances from any recovery.
Contingency fees in New York and New Jersey are subject to regulation, including the sliding-scale limits set forth in New Jersey Court Rule 1:21-7 and the fee schedules applicable in New York. The specific fee arrangement governing your matter will be set forth in a written retainer agreement provided to you before representation begins. No statement on this Site modifies or supersedes that agreement.
We evaluate every inquiry on its merits. In some circumstances, we may determine that your matter is better served by other counsel, or that association of co-counsel is appropriate. Any such referral or association, and any division of fees resulting from it, will be disclosed to you in writing and will not increase your total fee, consistent with New York Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(g) and New Jersey Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(e). We are not a lawyer referral service, and we do not pay or receive anything of value for the referral of clients except as expressly permitted by applicable rules.
Unless otherwise noted, all content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, the Aravana Law name and colonnade mark, page design, layout, photographs, video, and the selection and arrangement of content — is owned by or licensed to the Firm and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may view, download, and print Site content for your own personal, non-commercial reference only, provided you retain all copyright and other proprietary notices. You may not otherwise reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, scrape, data-mine, or use Site content for any commercial purpose — including to train or fine-tune any machine learning or artificial intelligence model — without our prior written permission.
You agree not to:
We may terminate or restrict your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or services, and may embed third-party content or functionality (including, without limitation, Google reCAPTCHA, mapping services, video players, review platforms, and social media features). Such links and embeds are provided for convenience only.
We do not control, endorse, sponsor, or assume any responsibility for third-party sites or content, including their accuracy, legality, privacy practices, or safety. Your use of any third-party site or service is at your own risk and governed by that third party’s terms and privacy policy, not ours.
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or currency of any Site content.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Firm nor its members, attorneys, employees, agents, or contractors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of — or inability to use — the Site, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event will our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).
Nothing in this Section limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing in this Section applies to, limits, or affects any duty, obligation, or liability we owe to an actual client under a signed retainer agreement, under the New York or New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct, or under applicable law governing the attorney-client relationship. This limitation concerns use of the Site only.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Firm and its members, attorneys, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Site, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any action relating to the Site must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts — except that, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you may alternatively bring such an action in the state or federal courts located in Bergen County, New Jersey, and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for that purpose.
These Terms do not govern, restrict, or waive any right you have as a client or prospective client of the Firm. Without limitation, Sections 15 through 18 of these Terms do not apply to:
Any such matter is governed exclusively by your written retainer agreement and by applicable law and court rules.
We are committed to making the Site accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities, and we work toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and some portions of the Site — particularly third-party content — may not yet fully conform.
If you encounter any difficulty accessing content on this Site, or if you need information provided in an alternative format, please contact us at info@aravanalaw.com or (347) 456-8567 and we will work promptly to provide the information you need through an alternative means of communication.
By using the Site, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You further agree that electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and electronic delivery of notices, satisfy any applicable legal requirements as if they were signed in ink, consistent with the federal E-SIGN Act and applicable state law.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior understandings regarding the Site.
