v. Law Firm, PLLC operates the website vlawfirm.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from visitors, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
This policy applies only to information collected through the Site. It does not govern information you provide to us after we have been formally engaged as your attorney, which is protected by the rules of professional responsibility and applicable law.
1. Important Notice — No Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting information through our contact form, or otherwise communicating with us through the Site, does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not make you a client of the firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have agreed in writing to represent you and any required conflict checks are complete.
Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through the Site. Information you submit before we have agreed to represent you may not be treated as privileged or confidential, and unsolicited information will not prevent us from representing another party in the same or a related matter.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: When you use our contact or intake form, we collect the information you choose to submit, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message or description of your legal matter.
Information collected automatically: Like most web pages, when you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by our website platform and by tracking technologies, including your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits.
Information collected through social media pixels and embeds: Our Site uses tracking pixels and/or embedded content from third-party social media platforms. These tools may collect information about your device and browsing activity and may associate it with your account on those platforms, including for advertising purposes. This activity is governed by the privacy policies of those platforms.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through the Site and ask that you not submit it through the contact form.

- respond to your inquiries and evaluate potential representation;

- operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
- understand how visitors use the Site;

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies, including the social media pixels described above, to operate the Site and to support advertising and analytics. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Service providers: With vendors that help us operate the Site and our practice, such as our website platform, form and email providers, and similar services.
Social media and advertising platforms: As described in Sections 2 and 4, through pixels and embedded content.
