Privacy Policy

The Turuchi Law Firm (“Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and provides telephone and text-messaging communications through RingCentral and other service providers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• Name, address, telephone number (including mobile phone number), and email address;
• Information submitted through contact, consultation, or intake forms;
• Information provided during telephone calls, text messages, emails, or other communications;
• Information concerning a potential legal matter, including accident, injury, medical, insurance, employment, or other case-related information; and
• SMS preferences and consent records.

We may also automatically collect technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring webpage, pages viewed, and general website-usage information through cookies, analytics tools, pixels, and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• Respond to inquiries and requests;
• Evaluate potential representation;
• Schedule consultations and appointments;
• Communicate concerning an existing or potential legal matter;
• Provide requested legal services;
• Send requested or consented transactional, informational, conversational, or promotional text messages;
• Maintain business, administrative, security, and consent records;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical problems; and
• Comply with legal and professional obligations.

Submitting information does not guarantee that the Firm will contact you, accept your matter, or agree to represent you.

3. SMS Communications

If you separately opt in to receive SMS messages from the Firm, you may receive:

• Conversational messages, such as responses to your inquiries;
• Transactional messages, such as appointment confirmations, reminders, and case-related communications;
• Informational messages, such as requested information and Firm announcements; and
• Promotional messages, such as information about Firm services, where permitted by law and applicable carrier requirements.

Message content and frequency depend on your interactions with the Firm and the type of consent you provide.

Message and data rates may apply. Messaging frequency may vary. Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing services, retaining the Firm, or receiving legal services.

4. Information Sharing and SMS Consent

We may share information with vendors and service providers that assist with website hosting, communications, SMS/MMS messaging, case management, scheduling, analytics, security, and Firm operations. RingCentral may process telephone numbers, message content, delivery information, and consent records to provide communications services to the Firm.

We may also disclose information when authorized by you, required by law, necessary to comply with a legal or professional obligation, or reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of the Firm, its clients, website users, or others.

5. Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand website traffic, improve functionality, and measure website or advertising performance. You may be able to limit cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website features.

6. Security

The Firm maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No internet transmission, mobile network, electronic storage system, or security measure is completely secure. Accordingly, the Firm cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Website Communications and Attorney-Client Relationship

Website inquiries, emails, telephone calls, and text messages may not be secure, may not be reviewed immediately, and may not reach the Firm.

Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after the Firm confirms representation in writing, such as through a signed engagement or retainer agreement. Until then, do not assume that the Firm represents you or that deadlines, claims, or legal rights are being protected.

8. Opting Out of SMS Communications

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any Firm text message. You may receive one confirmation message, after which no further messages will be sent unless you opt in again.

For assistance, reply HELP or contact the Firm using the information below. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

9. Data Retention

The Firm retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, professional, administrative, security, and record-retention purposes.

10. Children

The website and SMS program are not directed to children under 18. The Firm does not knowingly enroll anyone under 18 in its SMS program.

11. Third-Party Websites

The website may contain links to third-party websites. The Firm is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those websites.

12. Changes to This Policy

The Firm may update this Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
