This SMS/Text Messaging Privacy Policy explains how our law firm (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you opt in to receive text messages from us. This Policy supplements our general Privacy Policy and Attorney–Client Engagement Agreement.

Limited matter‑related identifiers (e.g., file number or short case descriptor)
We do not request or knowingly collect highly sensitive information (e.g., full Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, detailed legal strategy) via text message. You should not send such information by SMS.
We use SMS messaging solely to support your legal matter, including:
-
Appointment reminders and scheduling
-
Requests for documents or information

Case status updates

Represent that you are the authorized user of the number provided

Understand that consent is not required to retain the Firm or receive legal services

-
Appointment reminders
-
Case updates

Requests for documents

Text messages are not monitored at all times. Do not use SMS for emergencies, urgent deadlines, or time‑sensitive matters. Call the Firm directly for urgent issues.
