Attorneys are bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy and will continue to do so.
 
 As a client of our firm, any information we receive from you will be held in confidence. As a general rule, we do not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of our practice except as agreed to by you or as required or permitted by law.
 
 Except as otherwise described in this notice, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to employees of our firm and other parties who must use that information to provide services to you. Their right to further disclose and use the information is limited by the policies of our firm, applicable law, our Code of Professional Conduct, and nondisclosure agreements where appropriate.
 
 We retain records relating to professional services that we provide. In order to protect your privacy, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards which comply with our professional standards.
