Privacy Policy

Hoffman Legal (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of every person who visits our website or contacts our firm. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Contact details — your name, phone number, and email address when you submit a consultation request.
• Case details — any information you share about your tenancy, security deposit, or landlord dispute.
• Communications — emails, calls, and messages you send to our firm.

We also automatically collect limited technical information through standard web analytics, including your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, and pages viewed on our site.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Evaluate whether we can assist with your case and respond to your consultation request.
• Provide legal services if you become a client of the firm.
• Send you case updates, appointment reminders, and other communications related to our representation.
• Improve our website, services, and marketing.
• Comply with legal and ethical obligations applicable to our practice.

3. Attorney-Client Privilege

Submitting information through our website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after a written engagement agreement is signed by both you and the firm. However, all information you share with us is treated as confidential and protected to the fullest extent permitted by law and applicable rules of professional conduct.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only:

• With trusted service providers (such as our case management platform, secure email host, or web analytics provider) who are contractually bound to protect your information.
• When required by law, court order, or to comply with legal process.
• To enforce our rights or protect the safety of any person.
• With your express written consent.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your language preference, support translation features, and gather aggregated analytics. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, although some site features may not function as intended.

6. Data Retention

We retain consultation submissions and client records for as long as is necessary to provide legal services and to comply with our professional, legal, and accounting obligations. Records related to closed matters are retained according to Florida Bar guidelines.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you reside, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act) to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your information.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted prominently on this page.
