By using this website or communicating with us through it, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing this website, submitting a form, scheduling a consultation, or exchanging messages with us through any channel described here, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. You must be at least 18 years old to use this site or to consent to receive communications from us.
No Legal Advice and No Attorney-Client Relationship
Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and nothing on it should be relied upon as legal advice for any particular situation. Trademark, copyright, and business law outcomes depend heavily on specific facts, and general information cannot account for yours.
Viewing this website, downloading materials from it, sending us a message, or scheduling a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with Carson Legal Strategies PLLC is formed only when we and you have signed a written engagement agreement identifying the scope of representation.
Attorney Advertising and Jurisdictional Notice
This website may be considered attorney advertising in some jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. Client testimonials or endorsements appearing on this site reflect the experience of those individuals and are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your matter.
Attorney Octavia Carson is licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia and California. The Federal trademark and copyright practices before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office are available to clients nationwide. We do not offer to practice in any jurisdiction where it would violate that jurisdiction’s rules of professional conduct or authorized practice statutes.

Intellectual Property
All content on this website – including text, articles, graphics, logos, page design, and the marks CARSON LEGAL STRATEGIES and THE FIRST-CLASS ATTORNEY – is owned by Carson Legal Strategies PLLC or licensed to us, and is protected by United States copyright and trademark law. Nothing on this site grants you any license or right to use any mark displayed here without our prior written permission or the permission of the mark’s owner.
Electronic Communications and Consent to Contact
When you submit your information through a form on this website, request a consultation, or provide your contact details to us directly, you consent to be contacted by the Firm at the phone number, mobile number, or email address you provided, using those methods, in connection with your inquiry or your matter. Consent to receive text messages is never a condition of retaining the Firm or of receiving any service. You may withdraw consent at any time as described below.
We use SMS to communicate with clients and prospective clients about their legal matters. The messages include appointment scheduling, reminders, filing, deadline updates, documents, information requests, billing, payment notices, and responses to questions you ask us. This is a conversation-based messaging program, not a marketing program. We don’t send promotional or advertising text messages.
How You Opt In: You are added to our text messaging program only if you provide us with your mobile number and give us affirmative consent – verbally to our attorney or staff, by checking a box on a consent form on our website, by signing an intake or engagement form, or by sending a text message to us first. We do not receive mobile numbers from purchased lists or from third-party data providers. You must be 18 years of age or older to give consent.
Message Frequency: Message frequency varies based on your case activity.
Message and Data Rates: Message and data rates may apply. Carson Legal Strategies PLLC does not charge for text messages, but your mobile carrier’s standard messaging and data charges apply according to your plan. Contact your carrier for details about your plan.
Privacy: Your mobile number and your consent to receive text messages are handled as described in our Privacy Policy. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Opt-Out and Help: Reply STOP to unsubscribe. Reply HELP for assistance.
Replying STOP to any message from us ends the text messaging program for that number. You will receive one confirmation message and then no further texts. Replying HELP returns our contact information and program details.
Support Contact: For help with our text messaging program, contact us at hello@carsonlegalstrategies.com or +1 (301) 818-9559.
