How We Review Legal Content

The articles on this site are written for injured Californians and their families — people making serious decisions at a difficult time. Legal information has to be accurate, and accuracy does not happen by accident. This page describes the process every article goes through before it is published, and what we do if we ever get something wrong.

Who writes our articles

Articles are prepared by the firm’s editorial team under a documented, repeatable process. Drafts are built from primary sources — California statutes, published court decisions, and official government publications — using modern research and drafting tools, including AI-assisted systems, operated under attorney-defined guidelines. No tool decides what gets published; the review process below does.

Every claim must carry a source

A draft does not move forward unless each factual and legal statement is tied to a source a reader could check for themselves: the statute text on the California Legislature’s official site, the published court opinion, or the named agency report. Statements that cannot be sourced are removed, not softened.

Verification before attorney review

Before an article reaches attorney review, its citations are checked against the actual source text. Statute numbers, effective dates, and quoted figures are matched against the official published version, every linked source is confirmed to load and to say what the article says it says, and the results are compiled into a claim-by-claim verification report.

Attorney review

Lilit Gevorgyan, Esq. (California State Bar #299405) reviews each article before it carries the “Reviewed by” line. That review covers the claim-by-claim verification report, the headline and opening, any passage flagged as interpretation rather than settled statutory text, and the overall impression the article would leave with a reader who is not a lawyer. An article that has not completed this review does not display the “Reviewed by” attribution — no exceptions.

What we choose not to publish

Some topics do not belong in general legal-information articles, and we keep them out by rule: unsettled or actively changing areas of law, novel legal interpretations, discussion of what a case might be worth, step-by-step guidance for an individual situation, and fact-specific scenarios that would read as advice. Where the law is still moving, we wait until it settles.

Dates, updates, and corrections

Every article shows its publication date and, when revised, its last-updated date. Statutes and figures cited in published articles are re-checked on a recurring schedule, because the law changes. If we find a substantive error, we correct first and explain second: the article is corrected or taken down promptly, and a dated correction note records what changed.

Information, not legal advice

Everything on this site — including articles that have completed the review described above — is general legal information, not legal advice, and not a substitute for speaking with a licensed attorney about your specific situation. Reading an article does not create an attorney–client relationship.

Questions or corrections

If you believe something we published is inaccurate, email [email protected]. Correction reports are routed to the attorney.
