Thank you so much for contacting our law office! Please read the privacy policy below, and then fill out this form in its entirety prior to our consultation.

Privacy Policy

All information you provide to our firm is treated as confidential and handled in accordance with our professional obligations. We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information. Data submitted through this form is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption.

We collect only the information reasonably necessary to evaluate your matter and, if you become a client, to represent you effectively.

Social Security Numbers and Sensitive Identifiers

We do not routinely require Social Security Numbers to evaluate a new matter. If requested, it is for a specific and limited purpose, such as:

  • facilitating settlement, including preparation of tax reporting forms (e.g., IRS Form 1099);
  • complying with legal obligations in particular types of cases (such as certain family law matters); or
  • confirming identity where necessary.

If you are not comfortable providing your Social Security Number through this form, you may leave that field blank and provide it later if and when it is actually required. If you do provide it, it will be used only for the limited purpose for which it was requested and will not be disclosed except as necessary to carry out that purpose or as required by law.

Driver’s License and Other Identification Information

Driver’s license numbers or similar identifying information may be requested in limited circumstances, such as for court filings, identity verification, or compliance with specific procedural requirements. This information is not routinely required for all matters.

Use and Disclosure of Information

Your information will not be sold or shared with third parties except as necessary to represent you, comply with legal obligations, or with your consent.

If you have questions about how your information will be used, please contact our office.
