Bearstone Law, PLLC (“Bearstone Law,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Firm“) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. We do that, in part, through this Privacy Policy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information obtained from visitors to the Firm’s website located at bearstonelaw.com (the “Website”).
By accessing or using this Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We may collect both personal information and non-personal information from users of the Website.
A. Personal Information
Personal information is information that identifies you individually, which may include:
- Name
- Email address

Submission of personal information through the Website is voluntary.

How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries and communications
- Evaluate potential attorney-client relationships
- Improve Website functionality and content
- Analyze Website usage and trends
- Maintain Website security
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
Submitting information through this Website’s Contact Form or Case Evaluation Form does not create an attorney-client relationship. The Firm accepts new clients only through a written engagement agreement signed by both the attorney and the client.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Website may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze Website traffic.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may limit certain Website features.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Bearstone Law, PLLC does not share, sell, or rent your mobile phone number or any personal information collected through SMS messaging with third parties for their marketing purposes. Not ever. Never have, never will. Your mobile number will only be used to send you the SMS messages you have opted in to receive. For the full text-messaging terms, see the Firm’s SMS Terms of Use.
In the normal course of the Firm’s business, however, some information necessarily must be shared and/or transmitted with the following types of entities in order to provide the legal services rendered by the Firm:
- Service providers who assist in Website operation or analytics
- Recipients necessary to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or governmental requests
- Entities necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bearstone Law, PLLC, or others
Any third-party service providers are reasonably required to maintain confidentiality and use any shared information only for authorized purposes of the Firm.
Data Security Risk
The Firm implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Confidentiality and Attorney-Client Relationship
Information submitted through this Website is not necessarily protected by the attorney-client privilege, since merely contacting the Firm does not establish an attorney-client relationship. The Firm accepts new clients only through a written engagement agreement signed by both the attorney and the client. Accordingly, unless and until a formal engagement agreement is executed with the Firm, please do not submit sensitive or confidential information through this Website.
Third-Party Websites
The Website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. You should review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Children’s Privacy
This Website is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of certain communications
Requests may be submitted using the contact information below.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of any updates.
