How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and requests for consultation
- Evaluate potential legal matters
- Perform conflict checks, intake review, and related administrative work
- Improve our website and services
- Measure site traffic, ad performance, and conversion activity
- Protect the Site against spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents

How We Protect Your Information
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), secure data storage, and restricted access to personal information by authorized personnel only. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so please do not submit highly sensitive information through the Site unless it is necessary for your inquiry.
Information Sharing
We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose personal information to trusted service providers that help us operate the Site, deliver email, store form submissions, provide security, host infrastructure, analyze site usage, and measure advertising performance. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to prevent fraud or abuse, or in connection with a business transaction.
Our use of Meta, Google, and similar advertising technologies may involve disclosure of online identifiers, internet activity, and event data in a way that may be considered a "share" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. We do not intentionally disclose the substance of contact-form messages to advertising platforms.

Cookies, Pixels, and Advertising Choices
You can usually set your browser to refuse or delete cookies, and some browsers or extensions send a Global Privacy Control signal. If the CCPA applies to us, we treat recognized opt-out preference signals as requests to opt out of sale or sharing where required. You can also visit our Your Privacy Choices page to submit a privacy request or set a browser-level opt-out preference for non-essential advertising and analytics tools where implemented.
You may also use third-party tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, Google Ads Settings, Meta ad preferences, and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the "CCPA"), if the CCPA applies to us. These rights may include the right to:
- Know the categories or specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, including sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising
- Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information where the right applies
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights
We will honor verified privacy requests where legally required and will evaluate other requests in good faith. Some information may be retained or withheld where permitted by law, including for legal obligations, conflict checks, security, fraud prevention, legal claims, and records related to potential or actual representation.
Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, intake and conflict review, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, protecting rights, and improving and securing the Site.
Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting information through our website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only formed when we have agreed to represent you and a retainer agreement has been signed. Because no attorney-client relationship exists until that point, information you submit through this Site is not protected by attorney-client privilege. While we use SSL/TLS encryption to secure submissions and treat them as private, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure; please avoid sending highly sensitive details until an attorney-client relationship has been established.
Children's Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
