Privacy Statement
Lawyers, like all providers of personal
financial services, are now required by law to inform their clients of
their policies regarding privacy of client information. Lawyers have
been and continue to be bound by professional standards of
confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law.
Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy.
Types of Nonpublic Personal
Information We Collect
We collect nonpublic personal
information about you that is provided to us by you or obtained by us
with your authorization.
Parties to Whom We Disclose
Information
For current and former clients, we do
not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course
of our practice except as required or permitted by law. Permitted
disclosures include, for instance, providing information to our
employees, and in limited situations, to unrelated third parties who
need to know that information to assist us in providing services to you.
In all such situations, we stress the confidential nature of information
being shared.
Protecting the Confidentiality and
Security of Current and Former Clients’ Information
We retain records relating to
professional services that we provide so that we are better able to
assist you with your professional needs, and in some cases, to comply
with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal
information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards
that comply with our professional standards.
*************************
Please call if you have any questions,
because your privacy, our professional ethics, and the ability to
provide you with quality legal services are very important to us.
