Accessibility Statement
How this site is built to be read by everyone who needs it, what was tested, and how to report a barrier. Updated September 2, 2026.
Built to be read by everyone who needs it.
Gilbertson Investigations Inc. intends this site to be usable by attorneys and their staff whatever tools they use, including screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, magnification and reduced-motion settings. The target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. The site is built and maintained by Kelly Webmasters and Marketers, which checks each release against that target.
Measures on every page.
The following are built into every page of the site.
- One heading structure per page: a single main heading, then section headings in order, so a screen reader can move through the page by heading.
- Every form field has a visible label, and the forms use the browser's own validation messages rather than custom ones.
- Every image carries a text alternative; purely decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Every link, button and field shows a visible focus outline when reached by keyboard, and the Practice Areas menu announces whether it is open or closed.
- Text and background colors are measured against the Level AA contrast ratio during each release, on the cream sections and the dark sections alike.
- Animations are switched off when the operating system asks for reduced motion, and headings and text render fully with JavaScript disabled.
- The firm's phone number and email address appear as plain text and as working links on every page.
Tested on September 2, 2026.
An automated scan with axe-core, version 4.10, was run on four representative page types: the homepage, a practice-area page, a Library guide, and the Team page. It raised three kinds of finding. Two were real and were corrected the same day: the phone button in the header had no text for screen readers on narrow screens where the number itself is hidden, and now carries a spoken label; and the inquiry sidebar was marked as a complementary landmark inside the main content, and is now ordinary content. The third finding, on section headings, was checked by measurement and found to be an artifact of the way headings animate into view; the measured contrast on those headings is above fourteen to one.
A review of the page templates on the same date found that the practice-area pages, their sub-pages, the case history page and the homepage were missing the fallback that shows all text when JavaScript is disabled, which the other page types already carried. That fallback now ships on every page.
Automated tools find only part of what matters. Keyboard navigation of the header links and the policy pages was checked by hand on the same date, with the focus outline visible at each stop, and the stylesheet disables the reveal animations whenever the operating system asks for reduced motion.
Where the site may still fall short.
The Clerk, the assistant at the corner of each page, is a custom control. It works by keyboard, but it has not been tested with every combination of browser and screen reader. The downloadable wallpaper images are pictures and carry no text content. Pages on Google, Facebook, court websites and other outside sites are beyond the scope of this statement.
Tell the firm what is in the way.
If any page of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, email GregoryGilbertson@proton.me or call (239) 571-1840 and name the page and the problem. The firm will respond, and the site's maintainer will correct what can be corrected.
Effective date.
