Cornerstone Law Firm, PLLC (“Cornerstone,” “the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting our website or communicating with us electronically.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained through our website and related online services.

• Information submitted through a contact, consultation, or intake form;
• Information you provide when communicating with the Firm by email, telephone, text message, or other electronic means; and

3. Contacting Us Does Not Create an Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, sending an email, completing an intake form, sending a text message, or otherwise contacting Cornerstone Law Firm, PLLC does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the Firm has agreed to represent you and any required engagement agreement has been executed.

Until an attorney-client relationship has been established, you should not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the website.

The Firm's receipt of information from a prospective client does not necessarily prevent the Firm from representing another person or entity in the same or a related matter, subject to applicable law and the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct.

4. Confidentiality and Legal Communications

If you are an existing client, information you provide to the Firm may also be protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product doctrine, professional confidentiality obligations, or other applicable law.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any greater protection afforded to client information under applicable law or the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve functionality, and measure website performance.

We may also use third-party analytics or website-service providers that collect technical information regarding visits to our website.

You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers to assist with website hosting, client intake, scheduling, communications, document management, payment processing, analytics, security, or other business functions.

These providers may process information on our behalf to the extent necessary to provide their services. We seek to use service providers that maintain appropriate privacy and security practices, but their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

 

7. SMS/Text Messages and Electronic Communications

If you provide your phone number and opt in to receive text messages from Cornerstone Law Firm, PLLC, you consent to receive SMS/text messages related to your inquiry, appointments, case-related communications, and other communications from the firm.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing services or obtaining legal representation.

You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You may reply HELP for assistance. After opting out, you may receive one final message confirming your request. You will not receive additional text messages unless you provide consent again.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your mobile information, including your phone number and SMS opt-in/consent data, will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the text messaging services.

For additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, please review our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary:

• To service providers performing services on our behalf;

• With your authorization or at your direction;
• To comply with applicable law, court orders, subpoenas, or other lawful processes;
• To comply with our ethical and professional obligations;

However, no website, email system, electronic communication, or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive information electronically.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website you visit.
