Under
a recently adopted federal law, attorneys
in some circumstances may be required to
inform their clients of their policies regarding
privacy of client information. Attorneys
have been and continue to be bound by professional
standards of client confidentiality. We
protect your right to privacy and confidentiality.
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 (for a limited period
of time as allowed by law) relating to professional
services that we provide so that we are
better able to assist you 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.
