Marcus Hale, P.C. · Last Updated: January 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Marcus Hale, P.C. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information you provide when you visit this website or contact our office. We take your privacy seriously — particularly given the sensitive nature of criminal defense matters.
01
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Contact form submissions — name, phone number, email address, and any case details you voluntarily provide.
Phone calls — calls to our office may be noted for follow-up purposes.
Automatic data — standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL.
Cookies — session cookies used for basic site functionality. No tracking cookies are used for advertising purposes.
We do not purchase or obtain personal data from third-party data brokers.
03
Attorney-Client Privilege & Confidentiality
Any information you share with our office in connection with a potential legal matter is treated with the confidentiality consistent with applicable professional responsibility rules. However, submitting a contact form or sending an email does not create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is only formed when a written retainer agreement has been signed by both parties. Until that point, you should avoid sharing highly sensitive case details through web forms or unsecured email.
We strongly recommend calling us directly at (720) 555-0199 for sensitive matters, as phone communications carry stronger confidentiality protections.
04
Information Sharing & Disclosure
We do not disclose your personal information to outside parties except in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers — trusted vendors who operate our website infrastructure under strict confidentiality obligations (e.g., web hosting, email delivery).
Legal obligation — if required by law, court order, or valid legal process, we may be compelled to disclose certain information.
Your authorization — with your explicit written consent.
05
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
No method of internet transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all potential threats.
06
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
This website may use cookies — small data files stored on your device — to improve functionality and analyze site traffic. You may disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to contact us or use the main functions of this site.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
07
Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to external websites (such as legal directories or court resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
08

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:
Access the personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your information (subject to legal and professional retention requirements)
Opt out of any communications from our office
