Accessibility Statement

Joseph C. Russo, P.A., Attorney at Law ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to making josephcrussolaw.com accessible to people with disabilities. We want visitors to be able to find information, navigate the website, and contact the Firm regardless of ability or the assistive technologies they use.

This Accessibility Statement describes our ongoing efforts, conformance status, known limitations, and how you can request assistance or report an accessibility barrier.

1. Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We review the website periodically and work to address barriers when they are identified or reported.

2. Conformance Status

Based on our internal review and testing, this website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We are actively working to improve conformance. Areas that may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA can include certain animations, third-party embedded content, and legacy formatting in some sections.
