Terms of Service
We updated these Terms of Service on September 30, 2026. Summary of changes: we corrected the description of our business to state that Brooks Law, PC is a Massachusetts professional corporation located in Medford, Massachusetts, and we fixed typographical errors. No other terms changed.
If you don’t agree to these Terms of Service, you can find more information about your options by contacting us through the Contact form on our website. Our Terms of Service reflect how our business works, the laws that apply to our company, and certain things that we believe to be true. These terms include the following topics:
“Introduction” establishes who we are and who you are, defines important terms we use throughout these terms, and sets out preliminary requirements that you must meet in order to use our services.
“What you can expect from us” describes how we provide and develop our services.
“What we expect from you” establishes rules for everyone using our services.
“Our content” describes the intellectual property rights in the content you find in our services, and whether that content belongs to you, to us, or to others.
“If problems or disagreements arise” describes the legal rights you have, and what to expect if you or someone else using our services violates these terms.
Understanding these terms is important because, by using our services, you are agreeing to them. We have tried to make them as easy to understand as possible.
Introduction
For the rest of these Terms of Service, we will use these case-insensitive words to describe important things:
We will call these Terms of Service the “Terms.”
We will call you “You,” “Yours,” “You’re,” and “You are.” We will call other users “Others,” “Their,” and “Theirs.”
We will call ourselves “Brooks Law,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ourselves.” Brooks Law, PC is a Massachusetts professional corporation with its principal place of business at 10 High Street, Suite 3, Medford, MA 02155, operating under the laws of the United States.
We will call our services “Service” or “Services.” Brooks Law provides our Services to You. All of our presently available Services, as well as any future Services, are subject to these Terms. Currently, our Services are:
Use of our website at www.brookslawfirm.com, including any mobile applications, mobile versions of our website, and the desktop version of our website. This covers any webpage, on any device, with the root domain www.brookslawfirm.com.
Please note that the Services described here do NOT include any legal services we may provide to you. Legal services are governed by a different set of laws and rules of ethics, and by any engagement letter we may send you for signing.
What you can expect from us
You can expect Brooks Law to provide a broad range of useful services to you, subject to these Terms.
You can expect Brooks Law to improve our services. We may sometimes add or remove features, increase or decrease limits on our services, start offering new services, or stop offering old ones. If we make a material change that will negatively affect your use of our services, or if we stop offering a service, we will give you reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to export your content. The exception is urgent situations, such as preventing abuse, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues.
What we expect from you
The permission we give you to use our services continues as long as you meet the expectations set out below. We expect you to:
Follow these rules. You are expected to follow these rules, along with any additional terms, such as additional age requirements, and our other policies, such as our Privacy Policy. Although we give you permission to use our services, we keep all intellectual property rights we have in the services to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Respect others. Our services may involve you interacting with others. To keep a respectful, courteous environment for everyone, you will: comply with applicable laws, including export control, sanctions, and human trafficking laws; respect the rights of others, including privacy and intellectual property rights; not abuse or harm others or yourself, or threaten or encourage such abuse or harm; and not abuse, harm, interfere with, or disrupt the services. If you find that others are not following these rules, you may report abuse using the Contact Us section of our main page. If we act on a report, we will follow a fair process to resolve the issue.
Give us permission to use your content. Some of our services let you upload, submit, store, send, receive, or share content. You have no obligation to provide any content, and you are free to choose what you provide. If you choose to upload or share content, please make sure it is lawful and that you have the rights you need to use it. We need your permission if your intellectual property rights restrict our use of your content. You give Brooks Law the following permissions in this License:
License. Your content remains yours, which means you keep any intellectual property rights you have in it. You may also have the right to share others’ content if they have given you permission. This License covers your content only if that content is protected by intellectual property rights. It does not affect your privacy rights in publicly available factual information you provide, because that information is common knowledge that anyone is free to use. This License does not include feedback you offer, such as suggestions to improve our services, or information you provide when you report abuse.
This License is worldwide, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. It means you give us permission to use your content anywhere in the world without charging us any fees, and you remain free to license your content to others. This License allows us to: host, reproduce, distribute, communicate, and use your content, for example by saving it on our systems and making it accessible wherever you go; publish, publicly perform, or publicly display your content, if you have made it visible to others; modify and create derivative works based on your content, such as by reformatting or translating it; sublicense these rights to other users so the services work as designed, such as letting you share updates with people you choose; and sublicense these rights to current and potential contractors who have signed agreements with us that are consistent with these Terms, only for the limited purposes described in the Purpose section below.
Purpose. This License is for the limited purposes of: operating and improving our services, which means allowing them to work as designed and creating new features; using content you have shared publicly to promote our services, for example if you write a review about us; and developing new technologies and services for Brooks Law consistent with these Terms.
Duration. This License lasts as long as your content is protected by intellectual property rights. If you remove content covered by this License from our services, our systems will stop making it publicly available within a reasonable time. There are two exceptions: if you already shared your content with others before removing it, and if you make your content available through another company’s services.
Our content
Service-related communications. To provide our services, we sometimes send you service announcements and other information. Please see our Privacy Policy to learn more about how we communicate with you. If you give us feedback, such as suggestions to improve our services, we may act on it without obligation to you. This also applies to communications you send through our Report Abuse function.
Your content in Brooks Law services. Some of our services let you make your content publicly available, for example by commenting on a blog post on our website. Our use of your content is subject to the License described above. If you remove any such content, it is subject to the same terms described in the License.
Your intellectual property rights. If you think someone is infringing your intellectual property rights, you can send us notice through our Contact form. Please include details of the infringement. We will then take appropriate action, with or without prior notice to you.
Brooks Law content. Some of our services include content that belongs to Brooks Law. You may use Brooks Law’s content as allowed by these Terms and any additional terms, but we keep all intellectual property rights we have in our content. Please don’t remove, obscure, or alter any of our branding, logos, or legal notices. If you want to use our branding or logos, please contact us through our Contact form.
Other content. Some of our services give you access to content that belongs to other people or organizations. For example, we may link to a public institution’s homepage in a blog post. You may not use this content without that person’s or organization’s permission, or as otherwise allowed by law. The views expressed in other people’s or organizations’ content are theirs, and don’t necessarily reflect Brooks Law’s views.
If problems or disagreements arise
Consumer rights. By law, you have the right to a certain quality of service, and ways to fix problems if things go wrong. These rights apply only to services you actually pay for, so they don’t apply to free use of our website. As a paying customer, you keep all legal rights granted to consumers under applicable law, and these Terms do not limit or take away any of those rights.
Warranties. Because use of our website is free and will continue to be free, we make no warranties about the use of our website.
Disclaimers. The only commitments we make about our services, their content, how they function, and their reliability, availability, or ability to meet your needs are described in the Warranties section. We make no other commitments about our services. Unless required by law, we don’t provide implied warranties, such as the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Liabilities. These Terms limit our responsibilities only as allowed by applicable law. They do not limit our liability for death or personal injury, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Other than the rights and responsibilities described in this section, Brooks Law is not responsible for any other losses, unless they were directly caused by our breach of these Terms or of our other policies. If we are liable, our total liability relating to these Terms is limited to ten United States dollars ($10).
Indemnification. To the extent allowed by applicable law, you will indemnify Brooks Law and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors for any third-party legal proceedings arising out of or relating to your unlawful use of the services or your violation of these Terms or any of our other policies. This includes any liability or expense that comes from claims, losses, damages, judgments, fines, litigation costs, and legal fees. Brooks Law is not responsible for loss of profits, revenues, business opportunities, goodwill, or anticipated savings, or for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.
What we will do if problems arise. Before taking any of the actions below, we will give you advance notice when reasonably possible, explain the reason for our action, and give you an opportunity to fix the problem. We will not do so if we reasonably believe that doing so would: violate the law or an order of a legal enforcement authority; compromise an investigation; cause harm or liability to a user, a third party, or Brooks Law; or compromise the operation, integrity, or security of our services.
Removing your content. If we reasonably believe that any part of your content (1) breaches these Terms or our other policies, (2) violates applicable law, or (3) could harm our users, third parties, or Brooks Law, we may take down some or all of that content in accordance with applicable law.
Suspending or terminating your access to Brooks Law services. We may suspend or terminate your access to our services at any time, subject to applicable law. Reasons may include: repeated material breaches of these Terms or other policies; complying with a court order or law; a reasonable belief that your conduct causes or will cause harm or liability to a user, a third party, or Brooks Law; or a belief that your Brooks Law account was hacked. You may appeal a suspension or termination through our Contact form. You are always free to stop using our services at any time.
Governing law. The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts govern all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, our services, our other policies, and content owned by you or us, regardless of conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes between us must be resolved exclusively in the federal or state courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and you and Brooks Law consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. If applicable local law prevents certain disputes from being resolved in a Massachusetts court, you can file those disputes in your local courts. If applicable local law prevents your local court from applying Massachusetts law, the dispute will be governed by the local laws of your country, state, or other place of residence.
About these Terms. By law, you have certain rights that cannot be limited by a contract like these Terms, and these Terms are not intended to restrict those rights. These Terms describe the relationship between you and Brooks Law. They do not create legal rights for any other person or organization, even if others benefit from our relationship. Some or all of the services mentioned in these Terms may not be available in your country. If a service has additional terms that conflict with these Terms, the additional terms govern that service. If any sentence or term in these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms are not affected. If we don’t take action right away on a breach of these Terms, we do not give up any rights we have, such as taking action in the future.
We may update these Terms, and add or change additional terms, for reasons reasonably related to our services or how we do business, for legal, regulatory, or security purposes, or to prevent abuse or harm. If we materially change these Terms or any additional terms, we will give you reasonable advance notice, a summary of the key changes, and the opportunity to review them, except when we launch a new service or feature or in urgent situations. If you don’t agree to the new Terms, you should remove your content and stop using the services. You can end your relationship with us at any time by no longer using www.brookslawfirm.com.
Privacy Policy
We updated this Privacy Policy on September 30, 2026. Summary of changes: we corrected the description of our business to state that Brooks Law, PC is a Massachusetts professional corporation located in Medford, Massachusetts, and we fixed typographical errors. No privacy practices changed. If you don’t agree to this Privacy Policy, please stop using www.brookslawfirm.com.
Thank you for choosing to use www.brookslawfirm.com. If you’ve been seriously hurt in an accident, you already have a lot on your mind. On top of your physical recovery, you and your family may be struggling to make ends meet while you are out of work. You may be facing a pile of medical bills in addition to your regular expenses, and the insurance companies do not make things any easier. At Brooks Law, our team knows exactly what you are going through. Every day, we work with hardworking people who have been injured or disabled and just want to get back to their lives. We can help you navigate the workers’ compensation system, the personal injury claims process, and the benefits system.
This Privacy Policy applies both to your use of our website and to your use of our legal services. Legal services are also subject to additional, separate laws and rules of ethics.
This Policy covers the following topics:
“Introduction” establishes who we are and who you are, defines important terms we use throughout this Policy, and sets out preliminary requirements you must meet to use our services.
“What information do we collect?” describes the types of information we collect from you and how long we keep it.
“How and why we use your information” describes how and why we use your information, including how we share it with others. It also briefly mentions cookies, a type of tracking technology. Information about our use of cookies is in our Cookies Policy, which supplements this Policy. Please read both.
“How you can manage your information” describes your privacy rights and what you can do to change or delete information you provide to us.
“About this Policy” gives additional details about this Policy, including how we may update it.
We take your privacy very seriously. Understanding this Policy is important because it applies to all information we collect through our services. We have tried to make it as easy to understand as possible, and we urge you to take the time to read it.
Introduction
For the rest of this Privacy Policy, we will use these case-insensitive words to describe important things:
We will call this Privacy Policy the “Policy.”
We will call you “You,” “Yours,” “You’re,” and “You are.” We will call other users “Others,” “Their,” and “Theirs.”
We will call ourselves “Brooks Law,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ourselves.” Brooks Law, PC is a Massachusetts professional corporation with its principal place of business at 10 High Street, Suite 3, Medford, MA 02155, operating under the laws of the United States.
We will call our services “Service” or “Services.” Brooks Law provides our Services to You. All of our presently available Services, as well as any future Services, are subject to this Policy. Currently, our Services are:
Use of our website at www.brookslawfirm.com, including any mobile applications, mobile versions of our website, and the desktop version of our website. This covers any webpage, on any device, with the root domain www.brookslawfirm.com.
Please note that this Privacy Policy also applies to any legal services we may provide to you. Legal services are also governed by an additional set of laws and rules of ethics, and by any engagement letter we may send you for signing.
What information do we collect?
When you use our services, we collect the following types of information:
Basic information. Brooks Law collects information to provide better services to all of our users, with or without an account. This ranges from basic information, such as your language preference, to more complex things, such as which ads you’ll find most useful, your activity in HubSpot, or what types of blog articles you might like. The information Brooks Law collects, and how it is used, depends on how you use our services and how you manage your privacy controls.
Device identifier information. When you’re not signed in to a Brooks Law account or our client portal, we store the information we collect with unique identifiers tied to your browser, application, or device. An identifier is a random string of letters and numbers, and we use it only to recognize you and keep settings, such as your language preference, across browsing sessions. When you are signed in to our client portal, we also collect information that we store with your Brooks Law account, which we treat as personal information.
Personal information. When you create a Brooks Law account, you give us personal information that includes your name and a password. You can also add a phone number, payment information, or location information to your account. Even when you aren’t signed in, you might choose to give us other personal information, such as your email address, to receive updates about our services. Brooks Law also collects the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services. This includes messages you write and receive, photos and videos you save, documents you create, and comments you make on our website.
Your activity. Brooks Law collects information about your activity in our services. We use it to improve and personalize your experience, such as by recommending additional legal services that may be useful to you. This activity information may include information in HubSpot, articles you read, your views of and interactions with our content and ads, subscription and purchase activity, and the people you communicate or share content with on our website.
Location information. In the future, we may collect information about your location when you use our services. This would help us, for example, recommend treatment providers near you in personal injury or workers’ compensation matters. We do not collect location information today. Before we do, we will tell you what it involves and give you a chance to opt out.
Public information. In some circumstances, Brooks Law may collect information about you from publicly accessible sources. For example, if you appeared as counsel in a case that was published in a court decision, we may collect that information. We may also collect information about you from third parties. For example, licensed attorneys register information with the American Bar Association, and we may collect that information if it is publicly accessible.
To keep your information secure, we use encryption. We plan to offer additional security features in the future, such as periodic security checkups and two-step verification for your account. We restrict access to your personal information to Brooks Law employees, contractors, and agents who need that information to process it, and we hold them to strict contractual confidentiality obligations. We continually improve how we protect our systems to prevent unauthorized access, and we will strengthen our security as we grow.
We keep your information for different periods of time, depending on what type of information it is, how we use it, and how you configure your settings, subject to the rules of ethics that govern the storage of electronic data. Some data, such as content you create or upload, can be deleted whenever you like. Other data is deleted or anonymized automatically after a set period of time, which can include third-party advertising data collected by Google. We keep some data until you delete your Brooks Law account. Under the rules of ethics, we must keep some data for at least 10 years. We keep some data longer when it is necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes, such as security, fraud and abuse prevention, or compliance.
Privacy Policy stipulation
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. Personal phone numbers, and any information obtained through opt-in consent, will not be shared with affiliated businesses or third parties in any context. This includes our use of Sakari and Filevine SMS to keep you informed while we perform legal services for you. Your trust is paramount to us, and we strive to maintain the highest standards of data protection and confidentiality. This stipulation applies without exception to this entire Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
How and why we use your information
We use various technologies to collect and store your information, including cookies, pixel tags, local storage, databases, and server logs. You can find more information about our use of cookies, including how to opt out, in our Cookies Policy on this page.
We use your information to:
Deliver services. We use this information to deliver our services, such as processing search terms to return results for you. We also use it to maintain and improve our services and to make sure they work as intended, such as tracking abuse reports or other issues you tell us about. For example, understanding frequently misspelled search terms helps us improve the results on our website.
Deliver third-party advertising. We currently allow one third-party vendor, Google, to use cookies to serve targeted ads based on your prior visits to Brooks Law or other websites. Google explains this on its page “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Receive third-party analytics. We use third-party vendors to track and provide analytics, such as page views. Specifically, we use Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Communicate with you. We use information we collect, such as your email address, to communicate with you directly. For example, we might notify you of upcoming changes or improvements to our services or these policies. If you contact Brooks Law, we keep a record of your request to help solve any issues you may be facing.
Protect Brooks Law, our users, and the public. We use information to improve the safety and reliability of our services. This includes detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse, security risks, and technical issues that could harm Brooks Law, our users, or the public.
Brooks Law does not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Brooks Law, with the exception of Google Analytics and Google AdSense. We share information only when:
We have your consent. We will share personal information outside of Brooks Law only with your consent. We do not currently intend to do this, but if we ever do, we will tell you first and get your consent.
We need to for legal reasons. We will share personal information outside of Brooks Law if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to: meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request; enforce our Terms of Service; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Brooks Law, our users, or the public, as required or permitted by law.
If Brooks Law is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will continue to protect the confidentiality of your personal information, and we will notify affected users before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
If the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) applies to your information, we provide these disclosures and the ways of managing your information described in this Policy so you can exercise your rights to receive information about our data practices and to request access to and deletion of your information. You can review, update, delete, and export a copy of your information. Currently, you must contact us so we can do this for you manually. We plan to offer more self-service tools in the future.
Brooks Law does not sell your personal information. We share your information only as described in this Policy, and we process it only for the purposes described in this Policy. These include “business purposes” under the CCPA: protecting against security threats, abuse, and illegal activity; auditing and measurement; maintaining our services; research and development; use of service providers; advertising; and meeting applicable laws or regulations, such as mandatory disclosures to a government authority or law enforcement. If you have questions or requests about your rights under the CCPA, please contact us through our Contact form.
How you can manage your information
Privacy controls. You can manage your privacy in several ways. For example, you can opt out completely by contacting us.
Exporting, removing, and deleting your information. You can ask us, through our Contact form, to export the content in your Brooks Law account if you want to back it up or use it with a service outside Brooks Law. We plan to make this easier, and preferably automatic, in the future. When we delete your data, we follow a deletion process to make sure it is safely and completely removed, or kept only in anonymized form. Our services are designed to protect information from accidental or malicious deletion, so there may be a delay between when you delete something and when copies are removed from our active and backup systems.
Other methods. There are other ways to control the information Brooks Law, or anyone else, collects, whether or not you are signed in to a Brooks Law account. For example, you can use your browser settings to control cookies, and your device may have controls that determine what information we can collect.
About this Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all services offered by Brooks Law, and to services offered on third-party sites, such as advertising services. It does not apply to services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Policy, including the information practices of other companies and organizations that may advertise our services, or services offered by other companies or individuals. Our internal staff platform, brookslawfirmai.app, has its own Privacy Policy at https://www.brookslawfirmai.app/privacy.
We will need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will never reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will always show the date of the last change and provide a summary of the key changes, and we will offer access to older versions for your review. If the changes are significant, we will give you a more prominent notice, such as an email.
