Consent. You consent to receive text messages from the Firm by providing your mobile phone number to us and agreeing to be contacted by text, or by initiating a text-message conversation with one of our numbers. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of retaining the Firm or of any purchase of services.
Message frequency varies depending on your matter and your communications with us. Message and data rates may apply; contact your wireless provider with questions about your plan.
Opting out. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message from us.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information, mobile phone number, or SMS consent status to any third party for marketing purposes. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or applicable professional obligation.
We use a limited number of service providers to operate our practice — for example, our telephone and messaging service provider, our email provider, and our website host. These providers process information only as necessary to deliver their services to us and are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing purposes.
