3. Contacting the Firm Does Not Automatically Create an Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting information through this Website, sending an email, calling the Firm, or otherwise contacting the Firm does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Firm has agreed to undertake representation and any required engagement agreement has been completed.
You should not send information through the Website that you consider confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive until an attorney-client relationship has been established or the Firm has instructed you to provide that information.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy alters the Firm's professional obligations concerning information protected by applicable attorney-client privilege, work-product protections, confidentiality rules, or other applicable law.
4. Attorney-Client and Confidential Information
When an attorney-client relationship exists, information received by the Firm may be subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections, professional confidentiality obligations, or other legal protections.
This Privacy Policy is not intended to reduce, waive, limit, or otherwise modify any legal or ethical protection applicable to information received in connection with legal representation.
The Firm will handle confidential client information in accordance with applicable professional obligations and law.
5. Website Hosting and Wix
This Website is hosted and operated using the Wix.com platform.
Wix may provide website hosting, security, analytics, form functionality, data storage, and other technology used to operate the Website. Information submitted through the Website or generated through your interaction with the Website may therefore be processed or stored through Wix's systems and applications.
Wix's processing of information is also subject to its own applicable privacy, security, and data-processing practices.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for Website functionality, security, analytics, preferences, and other legitimate purposes.
Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.
We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

Where required by applicable law, we may provide a cookie banner or privacy-preference tool allowing you to manage non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
7. Analytics and Similar Technologies
The Website may use analytics tools or similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with the Website, measure Website performance, and improve our services.
Analytics providers may collect technical or usage-related information such as device information, browser information, pages visited, visit duration, referring sources, and general geographic information.
To the extent required by applicable law, non-essential analytics technologies may be subject to user consent or privacy preferences.
8. Advertising and Targeted Advertising
The Firm does not sell personal data for monetary or other valuable consideration.
The Website may in the future use advertising, conversion-tracking, or remarketing technologies. If such technologies are used, this Privacy Policy and the Website's consent mechanisms may be updated as required by applicable law.
To the extent applicable law provides a right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or certain profiling activities, the Firm will honor legally valid requests as required by law.

14. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.
However, no Internet transmission, electronic communication, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Website or stored electronically.

Where legally required, affected individuals, governmental authorities, or other parties may be notified within the time and manner required by law.
17. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to websites, social-media platforms, or services operated by third parties.
We do not control the privacy practices of third parties and are not responsible for their privacy policies, security practices, content, or services.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.
18. Social Media
The Firm may maintain profiles on third-party social-media platforms.
Information you provide through or make available on those platforms is governed by the applicable platform's terms and privacy practices, in addition to any professional obligations applicable to the Firm.
Interactions with the Firm through social media do not, by themselves, establish an attorney-client relationship.
Do not transmit confidential or sensitive information concerning a legal matter through public comments, public posts, or other publicly visible social-media communications.
19. Email and Electronic Communications
Electronic communications may not always be secure.
Do not transmit highly sensitive personal, financial, medical, or legal information through ordinary email or general Website forms unless requested or an appropriate secure method has been provided.
If we send marketing communications where applicable, recipients may use the unsubscribe mechanism provided in those communications or contact us to request that such communications stop.
Transactional, legal, or representation-related communications may still be sent when appropriate.
20. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” signals or other privacy preference mechanisms.
Because standards and legal requirements concerning these technologies may change over time, the Website will respond to legally recognized privacy preference signals where required by applicable law.

If you access the Website from outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.
