Website terms and legal notices
These terms explain how to use Cedar International Law Group's website and what to expect from its legal information and contact channels. Effective date: September 22, 2026.
Who operates this website
This website is operated by Cedar International Law Group, 16501 Ventura Blvd., Ste 400, Encino, CA 91436. You may contact the firm at lea@cedarinternationallawgroup.com or (805) 399-2912.
These terms apply to use of the website and its public content. They do not establish the terms of legal representation, consultation fees, or any other professional engagement. A separate written agreement governs any representation that Cedar accepts.
General information, not legal advice
The website provides general information about U.S. immigration law and Cedar's services. It is not legal advice for your circumstances and is not a substitute for advice from an attorney who has reviewed your facts, documents, deadlines, and available options.
Immigration law, agency policy, processing practices, and fees can change. Content may become incomplete or outdated without notice. Do not rely on this website to determine a filing deadline, preserve lawful status, choose a legal strategy, or decide whether to travel or work. Seek advice about your own matter before acting.
No attorney-client relationship from website use
Viewing this website, sending an email or message, calling Cedar, using a scheduling link, or attending an initial consultation does not by itself make you a client of Cedar or create an attorney-client relationship. Cedar may need to check for conflicts and decide whether it can accept a matter. Representation begins only when Cedar confirms it in a separate written engagement agreement that identifies the scope of work.
Until that happens, Cedar has not agreed to act for you, monitor deadlines, file documents, or communicate with a government agency on your behalf. Applicable duties concerning prospective clients and information they provide are governed by law, regardless of this website notice.
What to send before representation is confirmed
Before Cedar asks you to use an appropriate channel, do not send confidential documents or sensitive case details through email, Calendly, WhatsApp, a website link, or another unconfirmed channel. This includes passport pages, immigration identification numbers, receipt notices, medical information, and facts you would not want disclosed.
If you contact Cedar, share only enough information for the firm to identify your inquiry and respond. An electronic message may be delayed, misdirected, or accessed by a service provider. Cedar will explain how to provide additional information if a review is appropriate.
Attorney and practice information
Lea Nehme is admitted to the State Bar of California. Cedar's website describes U.S. immigration services; it does not state or imply that an attorney is admitted in every state or jurisdiction. Whether Cedar can advise or represent you in a particular matter depends on the facts, the applicable professional rules, and a separate decision to accept the engagement.
Cedar International Law Group at the Encino address above is responsible for this website's content. The website may be considered attorney advertising under applicable rules.
No guarantee of timing or outcome
Cedar does not control decisions or processing times of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Department of State, immigration courts, or other authorities. Eligibility, evidence, agency requests, visa availability, policy changes, and individual circumstances can affect a matter's course and result.
Descriptions of prior matters, timelines, examples, composites, and hypotheticals illustrate legal issues and possible approaches. They are not a promise, prediction, or guarantee of a similar result for anyone else.
Third-party services and links
The website may link to services operated by others, including Calendly for scheduling and, when configured, WhatsApp for messaging. Those services have their own terms, privacy practices, availability, and security controls. Leaving Cedar's website or choosing to use a third-party service is subject to that provider's practices.
Links to government agencies, publications, and other outside resources are provided for convenience and context. Cedar does not control their content or guarantee that an outside page remains accurate, complete, or available.
Permitted use of the website
You may use the public website for lawful, personal, or internal informational purposes. Do not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, introduce harmful code, misrepresent your identity in a communication, or use the site in a way that violates another person's rights or applicable law.
Cedar may update, restrict, or discontinue website content or features. Website availability is not guaranteed, and an outage does not extend any legal or government deadline.
Website content and intellectual property
Unless otherwise identified, Cedar owns or uses under license the text, design, images, marks, and other content on this website. You may view or print reasonable portions for your own informational use. Any broader copying, republication, or commercial use requires permission from the rights holder, except where the law permits it. Government materials and third-party content remain subject to their respective rights.
Corrections and changes
Cedar aims to keep this website accurate and accessible, but errors or omissions may occur. If you notice a problem, contact the firm using the details below. Cedar may revise website content and these terms. The updated terms will show a new effective date and apply to subsequent website use; material changes will receive additional notice when required by law.
Governing law
These website terms are interpreted under California law, without limiting rights that cannot be waived under applicable law. Any agreement for legal services is governed by its own written terms and applicable professional obligations. If part of these website terms cannot be enforced, the remaining parts continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
