Privacy Policy
This privacy statement is designed to inform users of this website about how their online information is gathered and utilized. It outlines the types of information we gather, how this information may be used, the measures we take to safeguard it, and the options available to users regarding their personal data.
Collection and Usage of Personal Information
Our website collects user information in three primary ways: directly from the user, from our web server logs, and through the use of cookies. The primary goal of collecting this information is to offer a tailored online experience, providing content, resources, and services that align most closely with your needs and interests. We commit to not sharing your provided information with third parties, except as explicitly stated in this privacy statement or when legally mandated.
User-provided Information
When you utilize the “contact” form on our site, we may request personal details such as your email, name, phone number, and geographic location. The only mandatory piece of information is your email when you use the contact form. If our website offers live chat, engaging in it may require you to share certain details. We strongly advise against sharing any sensitive personal information (e.g., Social Security Number, birth date, driver’s license number, or financial account details) through these channels. Should you choose to share such sensitive information, you do so at your own risk, and we disclaim any liability or responsibility for the consequences of such actions.
The information collected via the contact form or live chat will be used to address your inquiries. Additionally, we may use this information for future communications with you. Should you prefer not to receive such communications, you will have the option to opt-out as detailed below.
Web Server Logs
Your visit to our website triggers the collection of certain information, which is stored in our web server logs. This automatically captured information might include your IP address, your ISP’s name, your geographic location, the type of browser or device you are using, site navigation details, and your search queries on our site. This data aids us in website management, usage analysis, security maintenance, and enhancing the user experience.
Cookies
Our website utilizes cookies and similar technologies to provide a personalized service. Cookies are small data files transferred to your device to help remember your identity and preferences, making your site navigation smoother. While most browsers accept cookies by default, you have the option to adjust your browser settings to notify you about cookie receipt or to decline cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of many websites, including ours. For more detailed information on managing cookie preferences, please refer to All About Cookies.
Third-party Services
We may employ third-party services like Adobe Site Catalyst to aid in service delivery and to understand our site’s usage patterns. These services might collect information such as your IP address or cookies in an anonymous, aggregated form, aiding in improving our services without identifying individual users.
Furthermore, third-party content, services, and advertisements tailored to your interests might be presented based on information collected from our site and elsewhere on the internet. This data collection by third parties uses cookies and similar technologies. We ensure that no personal information is shared with these third parties for advertising purposes.
Opt-out options are available for those who wish to prevent their data from being used for targeted advertising by visiting websites like www.aboutads.info/choices.
California Do Not Track Disclosures
We do not modify our web services in response to Do Not Track signals or requests from browsers, relying instead on web server logs and cookies to enhance user experience and website security, as previously described.
Safeguarding Personal Information
We employ various security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. While we strive to secure your information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Access to Information
Your personal information will not be sold, rented, or leased to third parties. Access to your data is restricted to the following scenarios:
- When required by agents, vendors, or contractors who assist us in our operations.
- If we refer you to another attorney or firm for services we cannot provide.
- When legally required or for public safety purposes.
- In connection with significant business transactions, such as acquisitions or bankruptcy proceedings, or to protect our rights or property.

You have the right to control your personal information. At any time, you can contact us to:
- View the personal information we hold about you.
- Amend or correct your information.
- Request the deletion of your information.
