personal services, are now required by
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act to inform
their clients of their policies
regarding privacy of client information. Our law firm understands your concerns
as a client for privacy and the need to
ensure the privacy of all your
information. Your privacy is important
to us and maintaining your trust and
confidence is a high priority.
Lawyers have been and continue to be
bound by professional standards of
confidentiality that are even more
stringent than those required by such
Act. Therefore, we have always protected
your right to privacy. The purpose of
this notice is to explain our Privacy
Policy with regard to personal
information about you and your customers
that we obtain and how we keep that
information secure.

personal information about current
or former clients or and/or their
customers obtained in the course of
representation of those clients,
except as expressly or impliedly
authorized by those clients to
enable us to effectuate the purpose
of our representation or as required
or permitted by law or applicable
provisions of codes of professional
responsibility or ethical rules
governing our conduct as lawyers.

professional services that we
provide so that we are better able
to assist you with your professional
needs and to comply with
professional guidelines or
requirements of law. In order to
