Confidentiality and privacy is of the utmost importance.  We are bound by the legal and ethical requirements of confidentiality and privacy in our practice.  Since there may be email communication regarding matters which are to be held in the strictest confidence, we have employed the highest level of electronic protections regarding your communications. 

In this regard, your visit to our website and any communications you have with us will be managed in two specific ways, as follows:
Visits to Our Website Without Confidential Communication
    Our website is not designed to collect personally-identifiable information from visitors to our website.  Specifically, we will not recognize your email address or identify you in any specific way.  The information we collect is non-specific other than it identifies your internet service provider, the length of your visit to our website, the specific pages you consulted and, how it is that you accessed our website.  We use this information only to measure our site activity and to improve on our method of communication and interaction.  Our privacy policy therefore, is to use this generic information only for internal purposes. 

Email Communication or Contact
     We have put in place the highest levels of confidentiality regarding any communication you have with us by way of contact or inquiry through e-mail.  Specifically, the following practices will be employed whenever you electronically communicate with our firm through this website or provide identifying information: 

○ Your communication to the firm is immediately downloaded
and removed from our electronic system.
 
○ We will contact you preliminarily by the means you designate to verify that all future communications will be made directly  to you and cannot be viewed by anyone other than those you have permitted to have access to the information.  By way of example, an attorney from the firm will contact you to  verify our communications and  to what extent the firm will be providing services. 
 
○ All future communications will be maintained with the
strictest confidence in accordance with the requirements of  the attorney-client privilege.

Our electronic security is designed so that any email communications received or initiated by our law firm will not be seen by anyone other than those who you designate as having authority to view the communications.  All such communications, therefore, will be by secured email, letter, or telephone.  The information we collect with respect to any communication or legal matter will be maintained consistent with the confidentiality and privacy practices of our law firm.  Access to the information will be limited to those who are directly involved in handling the legal matter at issue or in servicing your legal affairs. 

The personal or business information which we collect will be used only for the purposes of providing you with the legal services you have requested.

Since we are encouraging initial communication through DefendingYourBusiness.com, you can be assured that confidentiality and privacy will immediately attach to any such communication.  You should have no concern that any inquiry or communication will be viewed by anyone not directly involved or otherwise designated as having authority.
