The Law Office of Morrie I. Levine, P.A. (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and related online contact, intake, and communication features (collectively, the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that may be provided through or generated by your use of the Website.

Firm contact information: The Law Office of Morrie I. Levine, P.A., 3300 North 29th Avenue, Suite 104, Hollywood, Florida 33020; telephone: (954) 925-9000; email: info@morrielevine.com.

The information on this Website is for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice for any individual matter. Your use of this Website, your viewing of information on this Website, or your submission of a contact form, intake form, email, voicemail, or other communication does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship with the Firm or with Morrie I. Levine, Esq. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the Firm has completed conflict checks; the Firm agreed to represent you; the Firm confirmed the engagement in a written Retainer Agreement executed by both the potential client and the Firm; and the Firm received the agreed upon initial, refundable Retainer Deposit. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the Website or by email unless the Firm has requested it or has already agreed to represent you. If you choose to send information before an attorney-client relationship is formed, the Firm may not be able to treat it as privileged or confidential in the same manner as information received from an existing client.

We may collect information in several ways: (a) information you provide directly to us; (b) information automatically collected when you visit or use the Website; and (c) information from third-party service providers that help us operate the Website, scheduling, communications, payments, analytics, or document-transfer features.

Contact and inquiry information. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, preferred method of contact, and the general reason for your inquiry.

Intake and consultation information. If you complete a consultation request, intake questionnaire, upload form, or similar feature, we may collect the information you choose to provide, including facts about your legal issue, names of parties involved, relevant dates, documents, and other details needed to evaluate your inquiry.

Communications. We may collect emails, messages, voicemail information, call details, appointment requests, and other communications you send to us.

Payment-related information. If you pay an invoice, consultation fee, retainer, or other amount electronically, payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors. We do not intend to store full credit card numbers on the Website.

Documents you upload or send. If the Website or a linked service permits document submission, we may receive documents, images, PDFs, or other materials that you choose to provide.

When you visit the Website, we or our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, dates and times of visits, and general interaction information.

The Website may use cookies, pixels, log files, or similar technologies to operate the Website, improve functionality, remember preferences, maintain security, measure Website performance, and understand how visitors use the Website. You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies, but some Website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Your browser may offer a “Do Not Track” setting. At this time, the Website may not respond to all such signals in a uniform manner.

We may use the information we collect to respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, evaluate whether the Firm may be able to assist with a matter, conduct conflict checks, provide legal services to clients, communicate with clients and prospective clients, send administrative messages, process payments, maintain records, operate and improve the Website, protect the security of our systems, comply with legal and professional obligations, and enforce our rights.

For existing clients, information may also be used in connection with the representation, billing, case management, trust accounting, file management, and other law-office operations.

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances, including with service providers who help us operate the Website or our office systems, such as website hosting providers, email providers, cloud-storage providers, scheduling tools, payment processors, practice-management or billing systems, IT consultants, and professional vendors.

We may also disclose information when necessary to comply with law, court orders, subpoenas, legal process, government requests, professional obligations, or Florida Bar rules; to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, Website visitors, or others; to prevent fraud, security incidents, or misuse; or with your consent or at your direction.

In the course of providing legal services, we may share information as appropriate with courts, opposing counsel, co-counsel, experts, consultants, title companies, accountants, escrow agents, investigators, process servers, mediators, arbitrators, or other persons or entities involved in a matter, subject to applicable law, ethics rules, and the terms of the attorney-client relationship.

Once an attorney-client relationship exists, information provided to the Firm in connection with the representation is handled in accordance with applicable duties of confidentiality, privilege, professional responsibility, court rules, and law-office procedures.

This Privacy Policy is intended to explain Website and general privacy practices. It does not limit or replace the Firm’s professional obligations to clients, nor does it create rights beyond those provided by applicable law, ethics rules, or a written engagement agreement.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to inquiries, maintain business and legal records, complete conflict checks, provide legal services, comply with professional and legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Client files, billing records, trust-account records, conflict-check records, and related law-office records may be retained according to the Firm’s record-retention practices and applicable law or professional obligations. We may retain certain information even after a request for deletion if retention is required or permitted for legal, ethical, security, backup, archival, or legitimate business purposes.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no website, email system, internet transmission, or electronic storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Email and online submissions may not be secure. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, bank-account numbers, medical records, tax returns, or other highly sensitive information through general website forms or unencrypted email unless the Firm specifically instructs you to do so through an approved method.

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that you have provided through the Website. We will respond consistent with applicable law and our legal, ethical, and record-retention obligations.

You may opt out of non-essential marketing communications, if any, by following the instructions in the communication or by contacting us. We may still send non-marketing communications relating to consultations, representation, billing, legal matters, administrative notices, or security.

This Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Website, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, maps, payment processors, scheduling tools, document-transfer services, or other services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

The Firm is located in Florida, United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you understand that information may be processed and stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date above. Your continued use of the Website after an updated Privacy Policy is posted means that the updated Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Website going forward.
