WEBSITE
This Privacy Policy applies to the website and online services offered by Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A. (hereinafter, “CSK“)  through the domain www.csklegal.com, including any mobile application or version of the site (collectively, the “Site”), and explains the types of information collected through the Site, if any, and how such information may be processed, utilized, or shared. By using the Site, you, the user, agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you cannot use, and must discontinue, any use of the Site.

GENERALLY
Thank you for visiting the CSK website. We created this site so you could learn more about the legal services offered and attorneys employed by our firm. The website is intended for informational purposes only. The information contained in this website is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, either legal advice or a solicitation of any particular prospective client.

REPRESENTATION
Our Site is not intended to and does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and CSK. An attorney-client relationship cannot be formed by reading the Site. The only way to become our client is by specific and explicit agreement with an individual attorney at CSK. You should not act or rely on any information contained on this Site without seeking the advice of an attorney. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Any information that you send us in an e-mail message through the Site may not be confidential or privileged. Sending us an e-mail will also not make you a client of CSK. If you are interested in having us represent you, call us at (305) 350-5300. We reserve the right to decline any representation for any reason, including but not limited to if it would create a conflict of interest with our other clients. You should therefore not provide us with any confidential information until after we have had an opportunity to determine whether representing you would create a conflict of interest with any of our other clients.

CONFIDENTIALITY
CSK Attorneys have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality. In Florida, those standards are set forth in the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, as adopted (and amended from time to time) by the Supreme Court of Florida. These requirements as to confidentiality are in addition to the requirements of confidentiality imposed with respect to matters and information to which the attorney-client privilege applies. If you are a current or former client of CSK, you should know that we, of course, adhere to the requirements of confidentiality imposed by the Rules of Professional Conduct and the attorney-client privilege. We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards. Please call if you have any questions, because your privacy, our professional ethics, and the ability to provide you with quality legal services, are very important to us.
