Last Updated: September 28, 2026
Attorney Advertising Notice
This website and all content published by The JVB Law Firm — including web pages, blog posts, social media content, videos, and any other communications — constitute attorney advertising under the California Rules of Professional Conduct and the State Bar of California's advertising regulations. John Van Blaricom is licensed to practice law in the State of California. Nothing on this website should be construed as legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by viewing this website or contacting the Firm unless and until a written engagement agreement is executed.
California State Bar Rules Compliance
All advertising and communications by The JVB Law Firm are governed by the following California Rules of Professional Conduct and State Bar regulations:
Rule 7.1 — Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Services
All communications about our services are truthful and not misleading. We do not make false or misleading statements about our services, qualifications, or the results we have achieved for clients.
Rule 7.2 — Advertising
This website and all related materials constitute advertising under California law. We comply with all applicable State Bar advertising rules, including required disclosures and prohibitions on false or deceptive content.
Rule 7.3 — Solicitation of Clients
The JVB Law Firm does not engage in in-person, live telephone, or real-time electronic solicitation of prospective clients when a significant motive is pecuniary gain, except as permitted by the Rules of Professional Conduct.
Rule 7.4 — Communication of Fields of Practice
References to practice areas on this website reflect the areas in which the Firm concentrates its practice. No claim of certification or specialization is made unless expressly stated and supported by an accredited organization recognized by the State Bar of California.
No Guarantee of Results
Case results and testimonials described on this website, including verdicts, settlements, and awards, are intended to illustrate the type of work The JVB Law Firm handles and the results it has achieved for past clients. Prior results do not guarantee, warrant, or predict a similar outcome in any future case. Every case is unique and depends on its own facts, circumstances, applicable law, and the specific parties involved. The outcome of any particular case cannot be predicted, and nothing on this website should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of any specific result.
Testimonial & Review Disclaimers
Client testimonials and reviews displayed on this website or on third-party platforms (including Google, Yelp, Avvo, and social media) reflect the individual experiences of those clients and are not representative of all client outcomes. Testimonials are not paid endorsements unless expressly disclosed as such. The experiences described may not be typical and should not be relied upon as a prediction of your own case outcome. The JVB Law Firm does not pay for, incentivize, or otherwise compensate clients for leaving reviews or testimonials, except where permitted by applicable rules and disclosed accordingly.
Paid Referrals & Referral Fee Disclosures
The JVB Law Firm may, from time to time, pay or receive referral fees in connection with the referral of clients to or from other attorneys or law firms, in accordance with California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.5.1 (Fee Divisions Among Lawyers). Any such referral arrangement is disclosed to the client in writing and requires the client's informed written consent. The existence of a referral fee arrangement does not affect the quality of legal services provided to the client, and the total fee paid by the client is not increased solely because of a referral fee arrangement.
Sponsorships & Third-Party Content
The JVB Law Firm may sponsor community events, organizations, publications, or other third-party initiatives. Any such sponsorship is a commercial arrangement and does not constitute an endorsement of the sponsored party's views, products, or services, nor does it create any legal obligation between the Firm and the sponsored party. Third-party content, links, or resources appearing on this website are provided for informational purposes only. The JVB Law Firm does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or content of any third-party website or resource linked from this site.
Social Media Advertising
The JVB Law Firm maintains a presence on social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others. Content published on these platforms constitutes attorney advertising and is subject to the same California State Bar rules and disclosures that apply to this website. Paid social media advertisements are identified as such in accordance with the applicable platform's advertising policies and applicable law. Engagement with our social media content — including likes, shares, or comments — does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not share confidential or sensitive information through social media channels.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Contacting The JVB Law Firm through this website, by telephone, by email, or through any social media channel does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only established when the Firm has reviewed your matter, determined that it can represent you, and both parties have executed a written engagement agreement. Until that agreement is signed, you are not a client of the Firm, and any information you share with us is not protected by the attorney-client privilege, though we will treat it with discretion.
