Attorney-Client Relationship and Privilege
Submitting information through our website, including contact forms or the texting opt-in form, does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a signed engagement agreement.
Important Notice Regarding Attorney-Client Privilege: Text messages, emails, and website form submissions are transmitted over channels that are not secure or encrypted. Communications sent through these channels may not be protected by attorney-client privilege, and sending confidential or sensitive information through unsecured channels could result in a waiver of that privilege. For this reason, we limit our text messages and emails to administrative and scheduling matters only. If you need to communicate privileged or confidential information, please contact our office directly by phone at (813) 223-4195 or arrange an in-person meeting. Do not send privileged, confidential, or sensitive information via text message, email, or website forms.
Health and Sensitive Information
In the course of providing legal services related to elder law, Medicaid planning, long-term care, and disability matters, we may receive health-related information and other sensitive personal data. We protect this information in accordance with applicable law, including HIPAA where applicable. We do not transmit protected health information via text message, unsecured email, or website forms.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- With your consent or at your direction in connection with your legal matter
- With government agencies such as the Florida Department of Children and Families (Medicaid), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or courts as necessary for your legal representation
- With service providers who assist in our operations, such as our website hosting provider, practice management software, and text messaging service, all of whom are contractually required to protect your data
- As required by law or to comply with a court order, subpoena, or legal process

Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
