Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Paulos Law, P.A. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all our users.

We believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should have access to legal information and services. This commitment reflects our core values of integrity, excellence, and service to our community.

Conformance Standards

We are actively working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and user-friendly for everyone.

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We have implemented many accessibility features and continue to improve our website to better serve all users, including those with disabilities.

Accessibility Features

Our website has been designed with accessibility in mind and includes many features to support users with disabilities:

• Semantic HTML Structure: We use proper HTML5 semantic elements to provide clear document structure for screen readers
• Keyboard Navigation: Interactive elements can be accessed and operated using keyboard controls
• Skip Navigation Link: A "skip to main content" link allows screen reader and keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation
• Responsive Design: Our layout adapts to different screen sizes and supports browser zoom up to 200%
• Clear Navigation: Consistent navigation structure throughout the website
• Readable Typography: Clear fonts with appropriate sizing and line spacing for readability
• Descriptive Links: Link text that clearly indicates the link's purpose or destination
• Form Labels: Form fields include associated labels for screen reader users

We continue to enhance these features and address accessibility gaps as we identify them.

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
