1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Marks Law Group website, including information you voluntarily submit through website forms, email links, telephone communications initiated through the website, and information collected automatically when you visit the website.
This policy does not necessarily govern information collected after Marks Law Group has entered into an attorney-client relationship with you. Client information may be subject to additional professional, ethical, contractual, and legal obligations.
By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

4. Legal Inquiries and Attorney-Client Relationships
Contacting Marks Law Group through this website, sending an email, submitting a form, or speaking with the firm about a potential matter does not by itself establish an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is established only after Marks Law Group agrees to represent you and the required engagement arrangements have been completed.
Information received from prospective clients is handled in accordance with applicable professional-responsibility obligations. However, website forms and ordinary email should not be treated as substitutes for a secure client-communication system.
Unless specifically requested by the firm through an appropriate communication method, do not send Social Security numbers, financial account credentials, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through a standard website form.
6. Analytics, Advertising, and Third-Party Services
The website may use third-party technology providers to provide hosting, website functionality, analytics, advertising measurement, communications, security, spam prevention, or similar services.
These providers may receive technical information such as IP addresses, device information, browser information, cookie identifiers, and information about interactions with the website, depending on how a particular service is configured.
The website may also contain embedded third-party content, including maps or other external services. When you interact with embedded content, the third party may collect information according to its own privacy practices.
Third-party privacy practices are governed by the policies of those providers rather than this Privacy Policy.
8. Information Security
Marks Law Group takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No website, email system, internet transmission, or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore use appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive information electronically.
9. Data Retention
Marks Law Group may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to inquiries, maintain business and legal records, comply with professional or legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the firm’s legal rights.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the relationship between the individual and the firm, and applicable legal or professional requirements.
10. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside and whether an applicable privacy law covers the processing involved, you may have rights concerning certain personal information.
These rights may include, where applicable:
- Requesting access to certain personal information.
- Requesting correction of inaccurate information.
- Requesting deletion of certain information.
- Requesting information about certain disclosures or processing activities.
- Objecting to or opting out of certain types of processing where applicable.

This website may contain links to courts, government agencies, legal authorities, professional profiles, social networks, maps, or other third-party websites.
Marks Law Group does not control the privacy or security practices of third-party websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that website’s own policies and practices.
12. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
A parent, guardian, or other authorized adult may contact the firm regarding an injury or legal matter involving a minor. Any information provided in that context will be handled according to the circumstances of the inquiry and applicable obligations.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Marks Law Group may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website functionality, technology, business practices, legal requirements, or third-party services.
