2. Information We Collect

Automatic Device & Usage Data

IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, date/time stamps, and approximate geolocation (derived from IP address and similar technologies).

Site security, analytics, tailoring content, compliance, and to understand where visitors come from.

Voluntary Data

Name, email, phone number, employer, and any information you provide in contact forms, chat, scheduling tools, or document uploads.

Responding to inquiries, scheduling consultations, providing legal updates, marketing (with consent), and conflict checks.

Cookie & Tracking Data

Session cookies, preference cookies, analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics), and similar technologies.

Remember preferences, measure Site performance, target ads, and detect fraud or abuse.

Location Tracking Notice:
We use IP-based and cookie-based technologies to approximate a visitor’s city, state, or country. This helps us tailor content (e.g., displaying practice-area pages relevant to Tennessee law) and detect malicious traffic. You consent to this tracking by continuing to use the Site.
