Introduction

Laurence E. Zieper, P.A. ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website or contact us regarding legal services.

Information We Collect

When you use our website or contact us, we may collect the following types of information:

• Contact information — your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address.
• Case details — information you voluntarily provide about your potential legal matter, including the type of accident or injury.
• Technical information — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically through standard web technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations.
• Evaluate the merits of your potential legal claim.
• Communicate with you about your case, if we are retained.
• Improve our website and the services we offer.

Attorney-Client Privilege

Submitting information through our website, contact form, phone, or WhatsApp does not create an attorney-client relationship unless and until a formal engagement agreement is signed by both parties. However, we treat all communications with the confidentiality expected in a prospective client relationship, consistent with the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct.

How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with:

• Co-counsel, expert witnesses, or medical providers involved in your case, when authorized.
• Insurance companies or opposing parties, as required during litigation or settlement negotiations.
• Service providers who assist us in operating our website (e.g., hosting providers), under confidentiality obligations.
• Government authorities, when required by law or court order.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to improve user experience. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

WhatsApp & Phone Communications

If you contact us via WhatsApp or phone, your phone number and message content will be used solely to respond to your inquiry and, if applicable, to communicate about your case. We do not use WhatsApp messaging for unsolicited marketing.
