Attorney-Client Privilege Notice: Communications between you and Maiaklovsky Law Firm, PLLC in the context of seeking legal advice are protected by attorney-client privilege and are held strictly confidential. Submitting a consultation request or intake form does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.

  • Contact and identification information — your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address when you contact us or submit a consultation request.
  • Case-related information — facts, documents, and circumstances you share as part of a legal matter or intake process.
  • Website usage information — your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site, collected automatically through standard server logs and analytics tools.
  • Preferred language — English, French, or Haitian Creole, as indicated when scheduling a consultation.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use information you provide to:

  • Respond to your consultation requests and communications
  • Identify you when you visit our website or contact our office
  • Provide legal services, case updates, billing notices, and appointment reminders

3. What Personal Data Means

For purposes of this Policy, personal information refers to any information that identifies or could identify you as an individual — directly or indirectly. This includes your name, contact information, identification numbers, location data, or any details specific to your physical, financial, or personal circumstances. We treat all such information with the highest level of confidentiality.

4. We Do Not Sell or Share Your Data

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. We will never disclose your information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated organizations.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With your explicit consent — for example, when authorizing us to communicate with a specific court, agency, or third party on your behalf.
  • As required by law — in response to a lawful court order, subpoena, or legal obligation.
  • With trusted service providers — limited to platforms that help operate our practice (described below), all of which are bound by confidentiality obligations.

5. Third-Party Platforms We Use

We use the following platforms to operate our practice. Each has its own privacy and data security standards:

Client Management & Intake

6. Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously. Our office uses secure, encrypted communication channels and password-protected systems for all client records. Our third-party platforms (LawPay and Clio) maintain industry-leading security certifications. While no system is completely immune to risk, we take all reasonable precautions to protect your data.
