Privacy Policy

1. No legal advice

The Information is made available for general informational purposes only, and is not intended to constitute specific legal advice or to be a substitute for advice from qualified counsel. Without limiting the foregoing, the Information may not reflect recent developments in the law, may not be complete, and may not be accurate in or applicable to your jurisdiction. Because the Information is general in nature and may not pertain to your specific circumstances, you should not act or refrain from acting based on any Information without first obtaining advice from professional counsel qualified in the applicable subject matter and jurisdictions.
 

2. No attorney-client relationship

Our law firm has a policy of entering into attorney-client relationships with its clients only in accordance with certain procedures which include executing an engagement letter and addressing professional responsibility conflicts as required by the Bar Associations of the state of New York. You agree that your access of our law firm Site or receipt of the Information, or your transmission of electronic mail to addresses on our law firm site, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and our law firm nor with our attorneys.
 

3. Other matters of professional responsibility

3.1 No Advertising or Solicitation. Our law firm site is not intended to be an advertisement or solicitation, but may be deemed an advertisement in certain jurisdictions.

3.2 Sensitive Communications. You agree that electronic mail sent by you to our law firm will not be treated as confidential or invoke an attorney-client privilege; provided, however, that if you are an existing client of our law firm and you send an electronic mail to us pertaining to a matter in which we then represents you, such electronic mail may be entitled to be treated as confidential or privileged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that electronic mail and the Internet are generally insecure media of communication, and we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any electronic mail sent to or received by it or any information submitted by our firm through our website.

3.3 No Warranty of Results. The Information may contain descriptions of matters in which we successfully represented clients. The results of these matters were dependent on their specific circumstances, and are in no way intended to be predictive of future results, even in similar circumstances, or offer any type of guarantee or assurance of outcome.

4. Privacy 

With respect to information submitted or collected on our website, you accept Our law firm’s privacy policy as set forth in this Section 4. This Section 4 does not pertain to, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of, any third party websites to which we hyperlink. 

​

4.1 Activity Logging. When you use our website, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, we will collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of “cookies” or your “IP address”) about your activities. Our law firm uses this activity information (the “Activity Information”) for internal purposes such as to administer our website, improve the site, and help us to understand how the our site is being used including the demographics and “clickstreams” of its visitors. “Cookies” are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on the our law firm website. You are always free to decline cookies if your browser permits, but in that case, some portions of our website may not operate properly. An “IP address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet.

​

4.2 Personally Identifiable Information. Our website is designed so that you may generally browse it without providing any Personally Identifiable Information (defined below). Certain areas of our law firm site, however, may require or allow the voluntarily submission of Personally Identifiable Information (for example, registration to receive Our law firm publications). Our law firm uses Your Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes for which it was submitted by You to us to send you emails or to share with you publications and invitations that may be of interest to you. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4, Our law firm does not share Your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties. “Personally Identifiable Information” means information that would allow someone to identify or contact you, such as your name, physical or electronic mail address, and telephone number; provided, however, that Personally Identifiable Information does not include aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons and does not include the Activity Information.
 

4.3 Removal of Personally Identifiable Information. Our law firm will use reasonable efforts to remove your Personally Identifiable Information from our then current site at any time upon your written request to support@joelcohenlegal.com.  Such removal of Personally Identifiable Information will not ensure the permanent removal of such Personally Identifiable Information from the Our law firm Site. For example, such Personally Identifiable Information may remain in Our law firm’s archival or backup copies of the Our law firm Site.
 

4.4 Additional Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information. Our law firm may share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties, including affiliated firms and third parties performing services for or on behalf of our law firm. Such services may include communications, database, event management, hosting, mailing, and marketing services. Additionally, our law firm cannot fully ensure that Your Personally Identifiable Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, our law firm may be legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may circumvent our law firm’s security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or an error may occur in the administration of our law firm site. In the unlikely event that our law firm needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, Our law firm may, and you authorize our law firm to, disclose any information about you to government officials as permitted by applicable law.
 

4.5 Miscellaneous Privacy Terms. You should know that our law firm cannot fully eliminate the risk of unauthorized access to, erroneous disclosure of, and unlawful interception of Personally Identifiable Information.  Our law firm hopes this Section 4 clarifies our law firm’s procedures regarding its collection, use and disclosure of Your information including Personally Identifiable Information. From time to time, Our law firm may modify this Section 4. Such modifications will be effective on the date that we posts the modified statement to the our law firm Site. Questions or concerns regarding the privacy policy in this Section 4 may be submitted to support@joelcohenlegal.com.​
