Effective Date: 4 September, 2026
1. Our Commitment
Greenway Lawyer is committed to digital accessibility and ensuring that our website, legal directory, and online tools are accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that conforms to recognized accessibility guidelines and legal standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
2. Accessibility Standards (WCAG 2.1 Level AA)
To ensure accessibility across our digital products, Greenway Lawyer aims to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline four core principles: content must be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
3. Accessibility Features on Our Platform
We actively incorporate accessibility best practices throughout the design and development of our platform, including:
- Semantic HTML Structure: Meaningful heading hierarchy (<h1> through <h6>), landmarks, and ARIA attributes to facilitate seamless screen reader navigation.
- Keyboard Navigation: All critical interactive features — including attorney search, filters, directory navigation, contact forms, and modals — are fully operable via keyboard with clear, visible focus states.
- Color Contrast: Text, badges, and interface controls maintain high color contrast ratios meeting or exceeding WCAG AA minimum thresholds.
- Alternative Text: Informative alternative text (<alt>) is provided for attorney headshots, diagrams, and illustrative images. Decorative elements are hidden from assistive technology.
- Scalable Typography: Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, and pages maintain responsive layouts across desktop, tablet, and mobile displays.
- Clear Forms & Error Handling: Form fields include explicit descriptive labels, clear placeholder guidance, and accessible error validation announcements.
4. Assistive Technology Compatibility
Greenway Lawyer is designed to be compatible with major modern web browsers and assistive technologies, including:
- Screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, Apple VoiceOver, and ChromeVox
- Screen magnification software and browser zoom controls
- Speech recognition software
- Operating-system accessibility enhancements, including high-contrast modes and reduced motion settings
5. Third-Party Integrations
While we work diligently to ensure all components within our direct control adhere to accessibility standards, our platform occasionally incorporates third-party features (such as map widgets, external state bar verification portals, or payment gateways). Where third-party limitations exist, we encourage our partners to provide accessible, compliant solutions.
6. Continuous Improvement & Testing
Digital accessibility is an ongoing effort. We periodically evaluate our website through automated audits, manual keyboard testing, and screen reader assessments to identify and resolve potential barriers as our directory and services evolve.
7. Feedback and Assistance
We welcome your questions, feedback, and suggestions regarding the accessibility of Greenway Lawyer. If you experience difficulty accessing any content, navigating our directory, or finding an attorney, please reach out to us. We will work with you to provide the information or assistance you need through an accessible alternative format:
