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.
