Corrections Policy

Law changes, agencies revise their procedures, and despite careful sourcing we can still get something wrong. When that happens, we want to know, and we fix it in the open.

How to report an error

Email contact@accordlegalfirm.com with:

  • the address (URL) of the guide,
  • the statement you believe is wrong, and
  • if possible, a link to the statute, regulation, or official source that shows the correct rule.

You do not need to be a lawyer to report an error, and we would rather receive ten mistaken reports than miss one real problem.

How we handle reports

  1. Review. We check the report against primary sources — the same standard used to write the guide.
  2. Correct. If the report is right, we correct the text promptly.
  3. Note it. For substantive corrections — anything that changes the legal meaning, a number, a deadline, or an eligibility rule — we add a dated correction note on the page describing what changed.
  4. Minor fixes. Typos, formatting, and broken links are fixed without a correction note, since they do not change meaning.

Scheduled re-review

Beyond reader reports, guides covering fast-moving areas — filing fees, tax thresholds, contested regulations — are prioritized for periodic re-review, and volatile figures link to the official sources that maintain them.

What corrections cannot cover

A correction updates general information; it cannot turn a guide into advice about your case. If a legal decision depends on a fact you read here, verify it against the official source we link to, or with a licensed attorney in your state. See our disclaimer and editorial standards.
