Privacy Policy

A. Website Usage

Last Modified. July 14, 2022.

Burleson Legal Group takes your right to privacy seriously and wants you to feel comfortable using our web site. We do not seek to collect any public or nonpublic information from you through our website. Because use of this website, contact via email, or completion of an online form does not create an attorney client privilege, the information supplied by you as a user of the website is not protected by the same sensitive privacy policy that is used for client information. Although Burleson Legal Group will make an attempt to protect the privacy of any user-supplied information, the user should always be aware that Burleson Legal Group cannot warrant the security of the information you submit through this website and any submission is done at your own risk. Furthermore, the user must be aware that any information sent via the internet has the potential of being read by other people so the user sends information at their own risk.

Also, like many web sites, we may automatically receive general information (“data”) that is contained in our server log files such as your IP address and cookie information. Aggregate information on what pages visitors or users access or visit, information volunteered by the user/visitor, such as survey information and/or site registrations may also be collected. We may use this data to customize and improve your user experience on this site. We will make efforts so that your data will not be provided to third parties unless pursuant to legal process or law enforcement. In the event you choose to use links that appear on our site to visit other web sites, you should read the privacy policies that appear on those sites. Although we make every effort to meet the requirements of this privacy policy, we are not in a position to guarantee these standards. There may be factors beyond our control that may result in disclosure of data. As a consequence, we disclaim any warranties or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of data.

B. Attorney-Client Protected Information

If we represent you in your bankruptcy, Burleson Legal Group will collect nonpublic personal information about you only in connection with providing you with the legal or fiduciary accounting services (i.e. such as the maintenance of trust accounts) that you request. We do not sell client information to anyone or disclose client information to marketing companies. Federal law, as well as our professional duties as attorneys, requires us to protect the confidentiality of your personal information.
The types of nonpublic personal information that we may collect in the course of representing you may include:

  • Information you provide to us such as your address, social security number, income, assets, liabilities, and other financial or household information that may be needed;
     
  • Information about your relationship with us (such as the type of legal service we provide to you, your invoice balances, and your payment history); and
     
  • Information that we receive, with your authorization, or as a result of legal action taken on your behalf, from third parties such as attorneys, creditors, collection agents, collection attorneys, bankruptcy Trustees, consumer credit reporting agencies, finance companies, accountants, financial advisors, insurance agents, banking institutions and others. 

Burleson Legal Group will not disclose any public or nonpublic information about you that you have provided to us to anyone outside of our firm, except as authorized by you or required by law such as the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Bankruptcy Rules, or the local Bankruptcy Court rules in your jurisdiction. All attorneys and employees of Burleson Legal Group are required to maintain the confidentiality of all nonpublic personal information about you.

With your consent, we may disclose personal information to a third-party contractor, such as an appraiser or accountant, who is assisting us in providing professional services to you. Also, in order to provide proper services to clients we will release information to the extent required by law, rule, or regulation. For example, some information filed with the Bankruptcy Court may be public record and/or able to be obtained by others for a fee. Therefore, some information about you would be accessible to the public.
