Privacy Policy

Information you provide directly. When you contact us through this website, by phone, by email, or by form, you may provide your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and details about your legal matter. This includes any information you choose to share in a consultation request or message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. This data is used to operate, secure, and improve the site.

SMS and text communications. If you request to be contacted by text message, we may send you appointment reminders, scheduling confirmations, and related case updates at the phone number you provide. You may opt out of these messages at any time by replying STOP. Message and data rates may apply. See Section 7 (SMS Policy) below for details.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations;
• Evaluate whether we can represent you and on what terms;
• Communicate with you about your matter, including by phone, email, and SMS;
• Maintain records as required by the Florida Bar and applicable law;
• Operate, secure, monitor, and improve this website; and
• Comply with our legal, ethical, and professional obligations as attorneys.

We process the personal information you submit for our legitimate interests in evaluating and providing legal services and responding to inquiries. Submitting information through this website or a contact form does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only by a signed engagement agreement between you and the Firm.

Until that relationship is established, you should not assume that information you send is privileged or confidential. Please do not send detailed or sensitive case facts through this website's forms.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as follows:

• With service providers who help us operate this website and our communications (such as hosting, email, and SMS providers), under contracts that require them to protect your information;
• When we believe disclosure is required by law, court order, or the rules of professional conduct governing Florida attorneys; or
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of the Firm's assets, subject to continued confidentiality.

Any SMS provider we use acts as a processor on our behalf and is bound to handle message data confidentially and only to deliver the service.

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning and to understand aggregate usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information or to engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.

We retain information you submit for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential representation, and meet our professional and legal recordkeeping obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Opt-in. We send text messages only to phone numbers you provide and only for the purposes you request, such as consultation scheduling and case-related updates.

Frequency. Message frequency varies and depends on your case and your requests. You will not receive marketing blasts.

Opt out. You may opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP to any message. For help, reply HELP. Standard message and data rates may apply from your carrier.

Carriers. We are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We do not share mobile subscriber information with third parties for marketing.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 10. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16, and we do not sell the personal information of any consumer.

This website may link to third-party sites for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal information to them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the site after any change indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
