How We Use Your Information

Any information you submit through this website is used only for legitimate business and legal purposes.

This website may use cookies and standard website analytics tools to improve functionality, monitor website performance, and better understand how visitors interact with our content. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help remember user preferences and improve browsing efficiency. Analytics services may collect anonymous information such as pages visited, session duration, browser type, and general geographic location.

Information Sharing

The Law Office of Matthew S. Hutchinson, Esq. respects your privacy and does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to unrelated third parties. Information may be shared only when necessary to operate this website, communicate with you regarding your inquiry, comply with applicable laws or court orders, protect our legal rights, or fulfill professional and ethical obligations. In limited circumstances, trusted third-party service providers may process information on our behalf for website hosting, security, or communication services, and they are expected to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security standards.

Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information submitted through this website against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we take commercially reasonable measures to safeguard your information, no method of transmitting data over the Internet or storing electronic information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Visitors should avoid sending confidential, highly sensitive, or time-critical information through online contact forms or unsecured email before an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

Third-Party Links

For your convenience, this website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms and other external resources. These websites operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies and terms of use. The Law Office of Matthew S.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any external websites before providing personal information.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, completing a contact form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, or communicating electronically with our office does not create an attorney-client relationship. Information submitted before a formal engagement may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Law Office of Matthew S. Hutchinson, Esq. has agreed to represent you and both the attorney and client have executed a written representation agreement. Until that time, you should avoid sending confidential or sensitive information regarding your legal matter.
