A lot of firms have beautiful sites but scary intake forms. Here’s a simple, “minimum viable” structure you can aim for on any basic contact form. This is not legal advice—use it as a conversation starter with your own attorney. 1. Only collect what you actually need For a first contact, that usually means: · Name · Best contact method (email and/or phone) · Brief description of the issue · How they found you Skip fields that invite sensitive details you don’t really need at this stage (e.g., full SSNs, detailed medical history, long case narratives). 2. Add a clear “not legal advice / no relationship” disclaimer near the form Place short text right above or below the form, in plain language, such as: “Submitting this form does not create an attorney‑client relationship. Please do not send confidential or time‑sensitive information. This form is for general inquiries only.” 3. Explain how you’ll use their contact details One short sentence can go a long way: · “By submitting this form, you agree we may contact you about your inquiry using the information provided. We do not sell or share your information with third parties for their marketing.” · If you plan to send marketing emails or texts beyond the initial inquiry, you’ll need more specific consent language and possibly a separate checkbox, especially for SMS. I’ll cover that in a dedicated TCPA + marketing consent post. 4. Link to your Privacy Policy Under or near the form, include a link: “View our Privacy Policy,” pointing to a page that explains what data you collect, how long you keep it, and how people can contact you about it. 5. What you can do today Check your current contact form against this list. · If you’re missing the disclaimer or privacy link, add those first. · If you’re collecting way more information than you need, consider trimming it back. If you want feedback, drop a screenshot or link in the comments and say, “Intake form review welcome.” I’ll prioritize those for the first round of walkthroughs.

Welcome to Legal Website Compliance Hub. I’m Tim, a web dev + cybersecurity student focused on law firm sites, intake forms, and practical compliance best practices. In developing legal websites, I’ve found many firms lacking in general compliance and accessibility standards. I’ve also found ways to be compliant and accessible without being locked into expensive services. I’m starting this hub to help law firm owners learn to build and maintain compliant intake forms and follow best practices for accessibility. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be adding a quick‑check compliance checklist, reusable intake form templates, and short lessons on common website red flags. For now, feel free to say who you are (firm or web pro) and what worries you most about your website. Thank you! Tim Johnson Law Firm Web Development
