1. Information We Collect
The Firm may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and any details you submit through website forms, email, phone calls, or text messages. The Firm may also collect information you provide when requesting a consultation, asking a question, or communicating about a potential or existing legal matter.
The website may also automatically collect technical and usage information, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring website, and the date and time of visits. This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, call-tracking technologies, server logs, and similar technologies used to operate and improve the website and measure marketing performance.
The Firm also uses call-tracking tools to better understand which advertising sources, campaigns, or website visits lead to inbound phone calls. Depending on the configuration of those tools, call-tracking data may include the caller’s phone number, the date and time of the call, the call duration, pages visited before the call, the referral source, campaign attribution data, and other call-related metrics.
2. How We Use Information
The Firm may use information it collects to:
- Respond to inquiries and requests for information
- Schedule and confirm consultations or appointments
- Conduct intake and evaluate potential matters
- Communicate with current or prospective clients
- Send requested updates, reminders, or service-related text messages
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
- Measure website usage and marketing effectiveness
- Track the source of inbound calls and improve advertising performance
- Comply with legal, ethical, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations
- Protect the Firm’s rights, systems, staff, and users
3. Text Messaging and SMS Communications
If you provide your mobile phone number and consent to receive text messages from the Firm, the Firm may send text messages related to appointment scheduling, appointment reminders, intake follow-up, responses to inquiries, requests for information or documents, and limited case-related communications. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP or contact the Firm at (215) 790-1000.
Consent to receive text messages is not required as a condition of obtaining legal services from the Firm. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties except with service providers that support messaging services for the Firm.
4. Google Analytics, Cookies, and Similar Technologies
The Firm uses Google Analytics and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, improve website performance, evaluate content effectiveness, and assess marketing performance. Google states that websites using Google Analytics must disclose that use and explain how Google Analytics collects and processes data.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to collect information such as IP address, browser and device information, site activity, page interactions, and referring sources. Google also provides information about how it uses cookies in connection with Analytics and related services.
Browser settings may allow you to control cookies, including blocking or deleting certain cookies, although doing so may affect website functionality. Users can also review Google’s privacy materials for additional information about how Google collects and processes data.
5. Call Tracking
The Firm uses call-tracking technology to measure which marketing channels, campaigns, and website activities generate calls to the Firm. Call tracking can be achieved using dedicated or dynamically assigned phone numbers, cookies, referral-source data, or related attribution tools to link a website visit or advertisement interaction to a subsequent phone call.
Depending on the tools and settings in use, call-tracking data may include phone number, call date and time, duration, source attribution, landing page, referring website, and related performance data. If calls are recorded, monitored, transcribed, or analyzed beyond basic attribution, the Firm should add a separate sentence here expressly stating that practice and its purpose before publication.
6. How We Share Information
The Firm does not sell personal information. The Firm may share information with employees, attorneys, staff, and service providers that help operate the website, host data, manage communications, administer analytics, support call tracking, or provide related business services, but only as reasonably necessary for those purposes.
The Firm may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or subpoena, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, systems, staff, clients, or users of the Firm. Information may also be transferred in connection with a law practice transition, merger, acquisition, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable legal and ethical obligations.
7. No Attorney-Client Relationship and No Confidential Submission Through the Website Alone
Submitting information through this website, sending an email, placing a phone call, or sending a text message to the Firm does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the Firm has completed any necessary conflict review and expressly agreed to undertake the representation.
Because unsolicited communications may not be secure and may not be privileged, users should avoid sending highly sensitive, confidential, or time-sensitive information via website forms, standard email, or text message unless and until the Firm instructs them to do so through an appropriate channel.
8. Data Retention
The Firm retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including communication follow-up, intake review, conflict checking, recordkeeping, analytics review, call-attribution analysis, legal compliance, and protection of the Firm’s interests. Tracking-related guidance commonly emphasizes retaining only the data reasonably necessary for the stated purpose and for as long as needed.
9. Data Security
The Firm uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to help protect information under its control. However, no website, email system, text messaging platform, analytics service, or telephone-based transmission method is completely secure, and the Firm cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The website may contain links to third-party websites or rely on third-party service providers, including analytics, communications, and call-tracking vendors. The Firm is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party websites, and third-party services may be governed by their own privacy notices and terms.
11. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and the Firm does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.
12. Users in the United States
The Firm is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and primarily serves matters involving individuals injured in Pennsylvania. The website is intended for users in the United States.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
