Some of our sites offer visitors the ability to submit information online to request a quote for legal services, as well as to register and personalize the information content displayed. In order to submit case information or to complete the registration process, you may be asked to provide contact information (such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone numbers, drivers license number), information about your past driving history or other criminal history, as well as financial information for payment of attorneys fees, fines and court costs (such as account or credit card numbers).
Finally, you may be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, we may collect personal information from you (such as an e-mail address, system information and problem descriptions) in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
The information collected from you is used by Worsham & Vaughan, LLC and our agents to deliver the requested information content, process your payments, and facilitate your relationship with us. Financial information collected from you is used only to bill you for the services to which you have agreed, to bill you for amounts due to a court, or to pay ancillary costs of representation, such as the costs of obtaining a driving record on your behalf. We may also use your contact information to send you information about other services as well as promotional material that may be of interest to you from some of our marketing partners.
Data Sharing
We, as a law firm, are required to keep the information provided by clients who have hired us by way of payment of an attorney fee as private under an attorney-client relationship. At all times in the handling of information, we keep this attorney-client privilege first and foremost and use all efforts necessary to protect the confidentiality of information submitted to us. The personal information and case information you submit through our sites, regardless of your status as a client or not, is processed and stored in a secure environment on computer systems owned and operated by our agents and contractors. Keeping your personal information secure is one of our most important responsibilities. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your information. Employees, agents and contractors are authorized to access such information only when they need it to provide you services or to maintain your account. Our employees are bound by a code of ethics that requires confidential treatment of your information and are subject to disciplinary action if they fail to follow this code. At no point is personal data collected from you shared with agents and contractors for purposes other than using the data only on our behalf or in connection with their content relationship with us. We will only share data if required by law, required as a matter of public safety or policy, or as needed in connection with the transfer of other business assets, but once again, the attorney-client relationship and the rules of ethics with which lawyers must comply will always take first precedence in such situations.
