  • Provide legal services if you become a client

  • Operate, secure and improve the Site

  • Meet the Firm’s legal and professional obligations

No attorney-client relationship. Contacting the Firm through the Site, by email or by phone does not create an attorney-client relationship.

3. Cookies and analytics

This Site uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files placed on your device when you visit. You can see which cookies Squarespace uses its cookie list.

  • Analytics and performance cookies help the Firm understand site traffic and activity.

Squarespace collects this data and gives the Firm reports about site traffic.

Fonts and maps. The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts and may display an embedded Google Map of the Firm’s office. To do this, those services may receive your IP address, browser and device information and the page you are viewing. These services and Squarespace may collect information about your online activity over time and across other websites.

Do Not Track. Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common standard for responding to these signals, and the Site does not currently respond to them. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings at any time.

4. How the Firm shares your information

The Firm does not sell or rent your personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. The Firm shares it only as follows:

  • Website hosting. Form submissions are provided to Squarespace, the Firm’s hosting provider, so it can provide website services to the Firm and help the Firm manage its relationship with you. The Firm also stores submissions in its email account.

  • Service providers. The Firm uses trusted vendors for practice management, scheduling, email and payments. They may use your information only to provide services to the Firm.

  • Legal requirements. The Firm may disclose information when required by law, court order or professional rules, or to protect its rights or the safety of others.

Information you share in a consultation or as a client is confidential and protected by the attorney-client privilege, even if the Firm does not take your matter.

5. Data retention and security

The Firm keeps inquiry information as long as needed to respond and run conflict checks. Client records are kept as required by law and professional rules. The Firm uses reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, and the Site uses SSL encryption. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
