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 that are even more stringent than those
required by law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy and
the confidentiality of your information.
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.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy please contact our
Executive Director, Nancy Giunto at (206) 447-8900 or e-mail
