Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our website's contact forms, case evaluation forms, or chat widget. This may include:

• Name: your first and last name
• Phone number: so we can reach you about your inquiry
• Email address: for written follow-up communications
• Case description: a summary of your legal matter as you describe it
• File attachments: documents or images you choose to upload (such as photos, police reports, or medical records) when submitting an inquiry
• IP address and browser information: automatically collected by our web hosting provider for security and diagnostic purposes

We do not collect sensitive financial information (such as credit card or bank account numbers) through our website.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information you provide is used solely to respond to your legal inquiry and evaluate your case. Specifically, we use it to:

• Contact you by phone or email in response to your inquiry
• Review the facts of your potential legal matter
• Determine whether the Firm is able to assist you
• Communicate with you during any subsequent attorney-client relationship

We do not use your information for marketing purposes, and we do not send unsolicited emails or texts.

3. How Your Information Is Transmitted

When you submit a contact or case evaluation form on our website, your information is transmitted securely over HTTPS (TLS encryption) and delivered to the Firm via Resend (resend.com), a third-party transactional email service. Resend processes and routes your submission to our secure firm email. Resend acts as a data processor on our behalf and does not use your information for its own purposes. You can review Resend's data practices at resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Our website is hosted on Vercel (vercel.com). Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, timestamps, request headers) as part of normal website operation. You can review Vercel's privacy practices at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

4. Confidentiality of Submissions

We treat all information you share with us as confidential. Information you provide in connection with a potential legal matter is protected by the attorney-client privilege and the duty of confidentiality under the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct to the fullest extent permitted by law, even if formal representation has not yet begun.

However, no method of Internet transmission is completely secure. While we use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. We Do Not Sell Your Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their commercial purposes. We share your information only:

• With service providers that help us operate our website and deliver your inquiry (Resend, Vercel), solely to perform services on our behalf
• When required by law, court order, or valid legal process
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, or the public

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses Google Translate, a third-party service that may set cookies on your browser to remember your language preference. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, or third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) on this website. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use our site.

7. Data Retention

We retain inquiry submissions and related communications for a period consistent with applicable professional responsibility rules and New Jersey law. If no attorney-client relationship is established, we retain contact information only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, after which it is deleted or archived in accordance with our document retention policy. If a formal representation begins, records are retained in accordance with the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct and applicable statutes of limitations.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to legal obligations
• Withdraw consent to communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted information through our website, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

10. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites (such as court resources or government agencies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
