accessibility_new

Your Fresno Attorney is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

verified Our Commitment to Accessibility

Your Fresno Attorney (fresnocriminaldefenselawyer.com) is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

We view accessibility not as a legal checkbox but as a core principle of equal access to justice. Legal information and legal services must be available to all members of the Fresno community, including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.

fact_check Conformance Status

We are actively working toward conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Our current accessibility efforts include:

Visual Accessibility

  • Sufficient color contrast ratios across all text and interactive elements
  • Scalable text that can be enlarged up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • Descriptive alt text on all informational images
  • No content that relies on color alone to convey information

Navigation & Structure

  • Logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) on all pages
  • Semantic HTML5 landmarks (header, nav, main, footer)
  • Descriptive link text (no "click here" or "read more" without context)
  • Breadcrumb navigation on all interior pages

Forms & Interaction

  • All form inputs include visible, associated <label> elements
  • Error messages are programmatically associated with the relevant field
  • role="alert" used for dynamic error and success states
  • No time limits on form completion

Keyboard & Assistive Technology

  • All interactive elements are keyboard-operable (Tab, Enter, Space, Arrow keys)
  • Visible focus indicators on all focusable elements
  • Compatible with major screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
  • No keyboard traps anywhere on the site

construction Known Limitations & Ongoing Work

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, we acknowledge that some areas of this website may not yet meet all accessibility standards. Known areas currently under improvement include:

  • Embedded Maps: Google Maps iframes have accessibility limitations outside our direct control. We provide our office address in plain text on the Contact page as an alternative.
  • Third-Party Scripts: Analytics and font-loading scripts from third parties (Google Fonts, Tailwind CDN) may introduce accessibility issues we cannot fully control. We evaluate alternatives regularly.
  • Mobile Navigation: Our mobile hamburger menu currently presents visual-only. A fully accessible mobile navigation implementation is planned for the next site update.

We are actively addressing these issues and commit to resolving them in future updates. Accessibility remediation is an ongoing process, not a one-time effort.

gavel ADA Compliance & Legal Framework

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. Title III of the ADA has been interpreted by numerous federal courts to apply to commercial websites. Your Fresno Attorney takes this obligation seriously.

This website is also developed with awareness of California's Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civil Code § 51 et seq.), which provides protections against discrimination in business establishments — including digital properties — that are broader than those provided by federal law.

Our Policy

Your Fresno Attorney does not discriminate against individuals with disabilities and is committed to providing equal access to all content and services available on this website. We will not deny any individual the opportunity to participate in or benefit from our services on the basis of disability.

code Technical Specifications

This website relies on the following technologies for its accessibility implementation:

  • HTML5 — Semantic markup with proper use of landmark elements, heading structure, and ARIA roles where native HTML semantics are insufficient
  • ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)role, aria-label, aria-describedby, and aria-live attributes used to enhance screen reader communication of dynamic content
  • CSS — Responsive design via Tailwind CSS; media queries for reduced motion preferences (prefers-reduced-motion); focus-visible pseudo-class for keyboard focus indicators
  • JavaScript — Used progressively to enhance (not replace) native HTML functionality. All core content and navigation is accessible without JavaScript enabled.
