Privacy Policy
Scope and Purpose
Essayli, Essayli, and Pineda Legal Group PLLC (“the Firm”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit this website or contact the Firm. This Privacy Policy explains how the Firm collects, uses, and safeguards information obtained through this website and through related communications.
Information Collected
The Firm collects only information reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential representation, and provide legal services. This may include identifying information, contact information, and information related to a prospective or existing legal matter voluntarily provided by the user.
Use of Information
Information submitted to the Firm is used solely for legitimate legal and administrative purposes, including responding to inquiries, evaluating potential matters, managing client intake, and, where applicable, providing legal representation. The Firm does not sell, rent, or use personal information for commercial marketing purposes.
Use of Third-Party Technology and Artificial Intelligence Tools
To support prospective client intake, administrative efficiency, scheduling, case management, document handling, and internal operations, the Firm may use third-party technology platforms, including software tools that incorporate artificial intelligence or automated processing.
Such tools are used solely as aids to support Firm operations and do not replace attorney judgment, legal analysis, or individualized legal advice. Any legal conclusions, advice, or representation decisions are made exclusively by licensed attorneys exercising independent professional judgment.
Information submitted to the Firm may be transmitted to or processed by third-party service providers for these limited purposes. The Firm seeks to engage vendors that represent they maintain reasonable data security practices and confidentiality protections consistent with professional obligations.
However, because these third-party providers operate independently, the Firm cannot guarantee the absolute security of information once it is transmitted outside the Firm’s systems. The Firm is not responsible for unauthorized access, data breaches, or security failures occurring within third-party systems that are beyond the Firm’s reasonable control.
Disclosure of Information
The Firm discloses information only when reasonably necessary to carry out legal representation or when required by law. This may include disclosure to government agencies in connection with filings or to third-party service providers (such as translators, filing services, secure technology vendors, or intake platforms) who assist the Firm and are engaged subject to confidentiality obligations.
Attorney–Client Relationship and Confidentiality
Contacting the Firm through this website, by telephone, email, or other means does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship is formed only if and when the Firm affirmatively agrees to represent a client and a written engagement agreement is executed.
Although attorney–client privilege does not attach prior to the formation of an attorney–client relationship, the Firm handles inquiries in a discreet manner consistent with professional standards of confidentiality.
Data Security and Electronic Communications
The Firm employs reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information within its control. Nevertheless, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. Users acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with electronic communications and the use of third-party technology platforms.
Text Messaging and WhatsApp Communications
The Firm may communicate with individuals by text message (SMS/MMS) or WhatsApp regarding client intake, scheduling, case updates, document requests, billing, and other administrative or informational matters related to legal services. By providing a mobile number or initiating contact by text or WhatsApp, you consent to receive such communications. Message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply. The Firm does not sell or share mobile contact information for marketing purposes. You may opt out at any time by replying “STOP” or by contacting the Firm. Consent to receive messages is not a condition of retaining the Firm.
Consent
By using this website or submitting information to the Firm, you consent to the collection, use, processing, and disclosure of information as described in this Privacy Policy.
