Privacy Policy Notice.
We value our clients’ privacy and attempt to protect the confidentiality of the personal information clients have given us to the extent practicable. As attorneys, like other professionals who advise clients on personal financial matters, we are bound by professional standards of confidentiality found in the Rules of Professional Conduct, which are even more stringent than those required by federal law.
We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your personal needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your privacy, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information to those who need to know that information to provide services to you or on your behalf.

How We Protect Your Information
How we protect your information: We only disclose personally identifiable information about individual users in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, or when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, valid legal process, a court order, a current judicial proceeding, or to protect our rights or property. We also disclose personally identifiable individual information and the other information you provide us to lawyers or law firms with whom we are affiliated and who are interested in determining whether your submission could form the basis of a lawsuit or entitle you to relief under a pending lawsuit. Such lawyers or law firms agree to keep your information confidential and agree not to share it with any third party without your express permission. We may also provide aggregate statistical information (such as the city or state you live in) to third parties to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. We will not, however, disclose any personally identifiable information to these parties.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas – that information can be collected and used by others. We do not, however, include any personally identifiable information on our message boards unless you specifically include it in the content of your posting. If you are an attorney submitting information, we will not disclose any information to any third party without your express permission.
