Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
Cohen & Burnett PLLC respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information that you provide to us through our website, by telephone, by email, by text message, or through other communications with our firm.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and any other information you choose to provide when you contact us, submit a form, request information, or communicate with our firm.
We may also collect limited technical information through our website, such as browser type, device information, IP address, and general website usage information, to help us maintain and improve the website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide for purposes related to our legal services and communications, including responding to your inquiries; communicating with you about legal matters, appointments, documents, or firm-related information; providing legal services to clients; maintaining firm records; complying with legal, ethical, professional, administrative, and regulatory obligations; and improving our website and communications.
Confidentiality
As a law firm, we treat client information and prospective client communications with appropriate care and confidentiality. Information provided to the firm may also be protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections, professional confidentiality obligations, or other applicable legal protections, depending on the circumstances.
However, contacting the firm through the website or by text message does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when the firm agrees in writing to represent you.
Sharing of Information
Cohen & Burnett PLLC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
We may share information only when reasonably necessary to provide legal services, operate our firm, comply with law, protect our rights, or carry out administrative functions. For example, information may be shared with service providers who assist with firm operations, such as secure technology, document management, billing, email, website hosting, or similar administrative services. Any such sharing is limited to the purpose for which the service provider is engaged.
SMS/Text Messaging Privacy
If you provide your mobile telephone number to Cohen & Burnett PLLC, you consent to receive text messages from the firm related to your inquiry, representation, appointment, documents, or other firm-related communications.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to opt out of further text messages. You may reply HELP for more information.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
Consent to receive text messages from Cohen & Burnett PLLC is not transferable to any other person, business, or organization.
Contact Forms
If you submit information through a contact form on our website, we use that information to respond to you and evaluate your inquiry. If the form requests or permits you to provide a telephone number, that information may be used to contact you by telephone or text message as described in this Privacy Policy.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information in our possession. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the internet, email, text message, or other electronic means.
Email and Text Message Communications
Email and text messaging may not be secure methods of communication. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information unless you have confirmed with the firm that such communication is appropriate.
Website Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those external websites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
