Any communications with us concerning your case we promise to keep secret and confidential to the fullest extent permitted by laws, ethical rules and regulations. We maintain the highest degree of commitment to maintaining attorney-client privileged communications and client secrets.

Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our clients, affiliated attorneys and visitors to our Web site. The Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our services. This statement will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our clients' needs.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide

If you consult with us concerning your legal claim, we treat all communications as confidential and subject to the attorney client privilege. This means that we will not disclose the contents of our conversation with anyone other than other attorneys and staff, who will also be obligated to maintain your confidences and privileges, unless of course some court or administrative body rules that the attorney client privilege does not apply and orders us to disclose a communication. Such an event would be extremely rare. Normally, communications that you have with an attorney concerning your legal rights and legal claims will be entirely privileged, secret and confidential.

If you are an attorney and contact us about a case or client, we will also maintain the confidentiality of this consultation and will treat your communications as privileged.

If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone. We discourage potential clients from communicating with us via e-mail from computers in their workplace because employers may have rights to examine or have access to electronic copies of these e-mail communications.

2. Web Site Use Information

Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site may utilize a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of providing legal services, locating qualified attorneys to assist us on a co-counsel or referral basis, administering our business and professional activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our clients and prospective clients and attorney network participants. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by e-mailing us at larrabee@gis.net.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

How Can We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

As you use our Web site, the site can use cookies to differentiate you from other users to personalize your experience. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.

Notice of New Services and Changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request at larrabee@gis.net.

Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.

Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with legal policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information.

Employee Access, Training and Expectations.

Our professional values, ethical standards, and practices are committed to the appropriate protection of client and visitor information. In general, our professional practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.

How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?

You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing larrabee@gis.net.

What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site,

including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
