Privacy Policy

The privacy of your personal and financial information is extremely important at the Law Offices of Benedict Schwarz, II. When you retain us to handle a matter for you, we collect a significant amount of information from you in order to properly advise and represent you. We take our obligation to you very seriously and we want you to know how we protect your private and confidential information.

Your information is subject to the Attorney/Client privilege, which in general terms means that Attorney cannot be forced to disclose privileged information about you. Not all information is subject to the privilege, such as information otherwise available to the public, which includes documents available to the public in a court file, or allegations set forth in a pleading in a lawsuit. Also, information revealed in the presence of another person, such as would be the case when a husband and wife engage in mediation or estate planning, is not privileged as to the husband and wife but would be as to anyone else.

We do not disclose information about you or our former clients to service providers or other third parties except as required by law. We will, of course, comply with any court mandates as necessitated by your case. Even within our own firm, only a limited number of people who actually service your matter will ever have access to your personal, financial, or other information. Further, we do not share information about our current or former clients with any outside marketing groups or sales entities.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work on your behalf.
