Legal Disclaimer

Docket Flow Is Not a Law Firm

Docket Flow LLC is a legal technology and marketing company incorporated in the State of California. We are not a law firm, and we are not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction. No person employed by or affiliated with Docket Flow LLC is acting as your attorney, and no attorney-client relationship is created by your use of this website, your receipt of any communication sent on behalf of a Docket Flow attorney partner, or your interaction with Docket Flow in any capacity.

Docket Flow provides marketing, technology, and advertising management services to licensed criminal defense attorneys. Docket Flow runs live outreach in Florida, Ohio, and Arizona, and compliant direct mail in other states where public court records include a mailing address and that state's rules permit targeted written communication. The attorneys who are our partners are independent practitioners who are solely responsible for their professional conduct, their representation of clients, and compliance with all applicable ethics rules governing their practice.

The term "partner" as used in connection with our attorney clients refers to a business relationship only and does not imply any legal partnership, joint venture, association, or shared professional responsibility between Docket Flow and any attorney.

All Communications Are Paid Advertisements

Every outreach communication sent by Docket Flow on behalf of an attorney partner, including text messages, emails, physical mail, and any other form of direct contact, constitutes a paid lawyer advertisement under the rules of professional conduct of the state in which the advertising attorney is licensed. These include Rule 4-7.18 of the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 7.3 of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct, and ER 7.3 of the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct, and the corresponding solicitation rule of any other state in which we send mail on an attorney's behalf.

Where a state requires targeted advertisements to be filed before dissemination, that filing is completed before any message is sent. In Florida, such communications are filed with The Florida Bar's Standing Committee on Advertising in compliance with Rule 4-7.19, and the word "Advertisement" appears in each communication as required by Rule 4-7.18(b)(2)(B). Ohio and Arizona do not operate equivalent pre-filing review programs; in those states, compliance is assessed against the rules of professional conduct as written. All required disclosures regarding the source of recipient information and the advertising attorney's identity are included in every communication regardless of state or delivery method.

The content of this website, docketflows.com, also constitutes advertising directed at prospective attorney clients of Docket Flow LLC. Information presented on this website about the Services, including descriptions of how the system works, county availability, and pricing, is marketing material and not a contractual commitment. Specific terms, pricing, and service details are governed exclusively by individual service agreements between Docket Flow and attorney partners.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

No attorney-client relationship is formed between you and Docket Flow LLC at any time or under any circumstances. Docket Flow is not an attorney and cannot represent you in any legal matter.

No attorney-client relationship is formed between you and any Docket Flow attorney partner by virtue of: (a) your receipt of an outreach communication sent on that attorney's behalf; (b) your visiting this website; (c) your submitting a contact form or inquiry through this website; (d) your calling a phone number associated with Docket Flow or any attorney partner; or (e) any preliminary conversation with an attorney or Docket Flow representative prior to a formal engagement agreement.

An attorney-client relationship with any Docket Flow attorney partner is formed only upon the execution of a formal written engagement agreement or retainer agreement between you and that attorney, and only with respect to the specific matter described in that agreement. Until such an agreement is signed, no attorney-client relationship exists and any information you share is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

If you need immediate legal assistance, you should contact a licensed attorney directly. Do not rely on any communication from Docket Flow as a substitute for legal counsel.

No Legal Advice

Nothing on this website, in any communication sent by Docket Flow, in any blog post or article published at docketflows.com/insights, or in any other content produced by Docket Flow constitutes legal advice. All content on this website is provided for general informational and marketing purposes only.

Articles and posts published on our Insights page that discuss topics such as state bar advertising rules, criminal defense marketing, defendant behavior, or legal compliance are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice to any attorney, defendant, or other person. Attorneys who read our content and seek to implement practices described therein should consult with a qualified ethics attorney in their own jurisdiction before doing so.

No information on this website creates or should be relied upon as creating any legal obligation, duty, or right. The application of legal principles to specific situations requires the professional judgment of a licensed attorney. We strongly encourage you to seek qualified legal counsel for any matter that may have legal consequences.

Results Not Guaranteed and No Performance Warranty

Docket Flow does not guarantee any specific results from the Services, including but not limited to: number of Hand-Raisers delivered per month, defendant response rates, consultation conversion rates, client retention rates, revenue generated, or return on marketing investment.

Any volume projections, estimates, or examples provided during the sales process, including on this website, in marketing materials, or in verbal or written communications from Docket Flow representatives, are based on historical public court filing data and general market conditions. They are estimates only, not representations or warranties of future performance. Actual results may vary materially from any projection or estimate due to factors outside Docket Flow's control, including county filing volume, local market conditions, a defendant's ability or willingness to retain private counsel, and the responsiveness and intake processes of the attorney's own firm.

Any testimonial published on this website reflects the individual experience of that attorney and is not a guarantee that any other attorney will achieve similar results. Individual results depend on a wide range of factors including county filing volume, practice area competition, the attorney's responsiveness and intake processes, market conditions, and defendant behavior, none of which Docket Flow controls or warrants.

Statistics, metrics, and numerical claims on this website, including references to Hand-Raiser volumes, timeline to go live, and cost-per-client comparisons in our Insights articles, are provided for illustrative purposes based on available data. They are not guarantees of the results any specific attorney will achieve.

Attorney Responsibility and Independent Judgment

Each attorney who engages Docket Flow's Services remains solely and independently responsible for: (a) all aspects of their law practice; (b) compliance with all applicable rules of professional conduct in their jurisdiction; (c) the quality and competence of their legal representation; (d) all communications with clients and prospective clients following delivery of Hand-Raiser information; (e) all fee agreements, engagement letters, and client contracts; and (f) all decisions regarding whether and how to represent any specific client.

Docket Flow does not supervise, direct, or control any attorney's legal practice or professional judgment. Our relationship with attorney partners is strictly that of a marketing vendor and client. Docket Flow has no responsibility for and exercises no control over the legal services provided by any attorney partner to any client.

The responsible advertising attorney under the applicable state bar rules is the attorney partner whose name and firm information appears in any advertisement. Docket Flow acts as a vendor and advertising agent on behalf of that attorney. Any state bar disciplinary matter arising from advertising activities is the responsibility of the advertising attorney, not Docket Flow, except to the extent that Docket Flow's failure to comply with its contractual obligations caused or contributed to the violation.

Use of Public Court Records

Docket Flow's defendant identification process relies on publicly available court records in the states where we operate. Criminal court filings in these states are public records subject to inspection under the applicable public records law, including Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, the Ohio Public Records Act (Ohio Rev. Code § 149.43), and Arizona's public records law (A.R.S. § 39-121). Where we operate by direct mail in other states, we rely on that state's public records law in the same way, and we do not operate in any county whose court records are not lawfully accessible to the public. These records are published by county clerk of court offices on publicly accessible docket systems.

Docket Flow accesses these records for the purpose of identifying unrepresented criminal defendants and facilitating state bar compliant attorney advertisements on behalf of licensed criminal defense attorney partners. This use is consistent with the law of each state governing access to and use of public court records.

Docket Flow does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, currency, or reliability of public court record data. Public docket systems are maintained by individual county clerks of court and are outside Docket Flow's control. Errors, omissions, delays, and discrepancies in public court data are the responsibility of the maintaining governmental entity, not Docket Flow.

Defendants whose information appears in public court records have the right to opt out of receiving attorney advertisements at any time. All opt-out requests are honored immediately and permanently. To opt out, defendants may reply STOP to any text message, or contact Docket Flow directly at [email protected] or (813) 531-9903. Recipients of physical mail may opt out using the email address or telephone number printed on the mail piece, or the contacts above.

Rights of Defendants and Recipients of Communications

If you are a criminal defendant who has received a communication from Docket Flow on behalf of an attorney, you have the following rights:

• Right to opt out: You may opt out of all future communications at any time by replying STOP to any text message, emailing [email protected], or calling (813) 531-9903. If you received a letter, the same contacts apply. Your opt-out will be honored immediately and permanently.
• Right to ignore: You are under no obligation to respond to any attorney advertisement. Responding to a communication from Docket Flow is entirely voluntary. Your legal situation is not affected in any way by whether you respond.
• Right to choose your own attorney: Nothing in any communication from Docket Flow limits your right to choose any attorney you wish to represent you, or to represent yourself. The attorney identified in our communication is one option, not your only option.
• Right to consult multiple attorneys: You may consult with as many attorneys as you choose before deciding on representation. An initial conversation with an attorney connected through Docket Flow does not obligate you to retain that attorney.
• Right to free written information: Before you decide to hire any attorney, you may request free written information about that attorney's qualifications and experience. Contact the attorney directly to make this request.
• Right to file a complaint: If you believe any communication you received was improper, harassing, or in violation of your state's attorney advertising rules, you may file a complaint with the bar authority in the state where the attorney is licensed. Contact details are listed in Section 15.

State Bar Required Disclosures

In compliance with the rules of professional conduct governing attorney advertising in the states where we operate, Docket Flow makes the following disclosures on behalf of its attorney partners:

Paid Advertisement Disclosure

All outreach communications sent by Docket Flow on behalf of attorney partners are paid attorney advertisements. The attorney or law firm identified in each communication is paying for this advertisement. Docket Flow LLC is the advertising vendor that prepared and transmitted the advertisement on the attorney's behalf.

Filing Disclosure

Where the applicable state requires targeted attorney advertisements to be filed before dissemination, those materials are filed before any message is sent. In Florida, targeted advertisements are filed with The Florida Bar Standing Committee on Advertising in compliance with Rule 4-7.19, and copies of all filed advertising materials are maintained in our records as required by Rule 4-7.19(j) for a minimum of three years. Ohio and Arizona do not operate equivalent pre-filing review programs. In any other state where we send mail on an attorney's behalf, we make whatever filing that state requires before first use and retain copies for the period that state prescribes.

Source of Information Disclosure

Defendant information used in targeted attorney advertisements is obtained from publicly available court docket records in the state where the filing occurred. This information is a matter of public record and is not obtained through any private or confidential source.

No Guarantee of Outcome

No attorney advertisement sent by Docket Flow makes any representation or guarantee regarding the outcome of any legal matter. Any suggestion in any advertisement that an attorney can achieve a particular result is not a warranty of outcome and should not be relied upon as such.

Regulatory Authorities

Attorney advertising is regulated by the bar authority of the state in which the attorney is licensed. Complaints or questions about an attorney advertisement should be directed to the appropriate authority listed in Section 15 below.

Information on this website is subject to change without notice. County availability status, pricing information, and service descriptions are subject to change and may not reflect current availability or terms at any given time. Confirmed terms are only those set forth in an individual signed service agreement between Docket Flow and an attorney partner.

Testimonials and Case Studies

Testimonials and references to attorney partner experiences published on this website reflect the individual experiences of specific attorneys at a specific point in time. They are not necessarily representative of the experiences of all attorney partners, and they are not a guarantee that any other attorney will achieve the same or similar results.

Any testimonial published on this website is a genuine statement provided voluntarily by an active attorney partner, published with that attorney's permission. The results described represent that individual's experience. Specific metrics referenced in connection with any testimonial, including Hand-Raiser volumes, retention counts, time to go live, and comparison to prior lead vendors, are based on information provided by the attorney and are not independently verified by Docket Flow.

Docket Flow does not compensate attorney partners for testimonials or reviews beyond providing the Services described in their service agreements. All testimonials used in our marketing reflect the genuine experiences of the individuals providing them.

Accuracy of Information About Legal Requirements

Content on this website and in our Insights articles that references state bar rules, statutes, court procedures, or other legal requirements is provided for general informational purposes only. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of such content, laws, rules, and regulations are subject to change, and information on this website may not reflect the most current legal developments.

Attorney advertising rules differ meaningfully from state to state and continue to evolve. Attorneys should consult the current rules of professional conduct in their own jurisdiction for authoritative guidance on advertising compliance requirements. Florida attorneys should consult the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct and The Florida Bar's Handbook on Lawyer Advertising and Solicitation at floridabar.org. Ohio attorneys should consult the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct. Arizona attorneys should consult the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct. Attorneys licensed in any other state should consult the rules of professional conduct and any advertising filing requirements of their own jurisdiction.

Docket Flow is not responsible for any actions taken or not taken in reliance on legal information presented on this website. Attorneys who rely on our website content for compliance decisions do so at their own risk and should seek independent legal counsel before implementing any advertising program.

No Guarantee of County or Territory Availability

County availability displayed on this website is updated periodically but may not reflect real-time availability. The listing of a county as "Available" or "Limited" on any page of this website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute a reservation, hold, or guarantee that a territory will remain available at the time of your inquiry or agreement.

Territory availability is confirmed only through a direct conversation with a Docket Flow representative and is subject to prior claims by other attorney partners. Docket Flow reserves the right to assign available territories to the first attorney who executes a service agreement and completes the required onboarding steps, regardless of the order in which inquiries were received.

Availability of direct mail service in states outside Florida, Ohio, and Arizona depends on whether the public court records for that county include a mailing address and whether that state's rules permit targeted written communication to the defendants in question. Docket Flow does not warrant that mail service is available in any particular state or county and will confirm availability before any service agreement is executed.

Docket Flow makes no representation that any specific county will produce any specific volume of criminal filings, defendant contacts, or Hand-Raisers in any given period. Filing volumes are determined by county law enforcement activity, court processing schedules, and other factors entirely outside Docket Flow's control.
