You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly. If you receive text messages from us, you may opt out by replying “STOP” or by contacting us. Consent to receive marketing communications is not required to obtain legal services.

6. Attorney-Client Confidentiality

Information submitted through this website before an attorney-client relationship is formed may not be protected by attorney-client privilege. If you become a client of Nield Legacy Law, information we receive in the course of representation will be handled in accordance with applicable attorney-client confidentiality obligations, professional responsibility rules, and applicable law.

7. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining records, providing legal services, complying with legal or ethical obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and maintaining business records. The length of retention may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, and applicable legal or professional obligations.
