Privacy & Website Notice

Information This Website Collects

If you use the contact form, the website collects the information you enter, including your name, email address, inquiry type, and message. The form is transmitted through FormSubmit to tom@reichert.law.

This website also uses Google Analytics to understand general site traffic and usage. Google Analytics may process information such as device and browser characteristics, approximate location, referring pages, and interactions with the site. Google describes its practices in the Google Privacy Policy. The hosting provider may also process routine server-log information needed to deliver and secure the website.

How Information Is Used and Shared

Information is used to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential engagements, communicate with students and colleagues, maintain the website, understand aggregate usage, and meet legal or professional obligations.

Personal information is not sold or rented. It may be processed by service providers that operate the website, analytics, contact form, or email; disclosed when required by law or professional obligations; or shared with your direction or consent. Information is retained only as reasonably necessary for these purposes.

Email and Contact Forms

Website forms and ordinary email are not secure channels for confidential or time-sensitive information. Before a conflicts check is complete, provide only the names of involved parties and a general description of the matter. Do not send documents, privileged information, or facts that could be substantially harmful to you.

Submitting a form or sending an email does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not obligate Thomas Reichert or Reichert Legal Services to represent you. An attorney-client relationship begins only through a written engagement agreement after conflicts review.
