Accessibility Statement

Scheer Legal is committed to ensuring our website is accessible to people of all abilities, in keeping with the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Our Commitment

Scheer Legal aims to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

Measures We Take

  • Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy and landmark regions.
  • Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images.
  • Keyboard-navigable interface, including visible focus indicators on interactive elements.
  • Color contrast meeting or exceeding WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios for body text.
  • Skip-to-main-content link to bypass repeated navigation.
  • Respect for users who prefer reduced motion (animations are minimized for those users).
  • Forms with explicit labels and accessible error messaging.
  • Bilingual content (English and Spanish) with proper language declarations so assistive technology pronounces content correctly.
  • Responsive layouts that adapt to mobile, tablet, and desktop screens at multiple zoom levels.

Ongoing Effort

Web accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time checkbox. We monitor the site, accept feedback, and remediate issues as we become aware of them. The site uses modern, accessibility-friendly HTML and is reviewed periodically against WCAG criteria.

Contact Us About Accessibility

If you encounter any accessibility barriers on this site, or if you need information in an alternative format, please let us know:

Please include the URL of the page, a description of the issue, and the assistive technology or browser you were using. We aim to respond within five business days and to remediate issues as quickly as possible.

Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content may not be fully accessible at all times. This may include older blog post images without descriptive captions, third-party content embedded from other services, or PDF files generated outside our control. We are working to address these limitations and are happy to provide accessible alternatives upon request.
