Because attorneys provide personal services, we are now required by law to inform our clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. In today's fast-changing world of rapidly evolving technology, DMC may occasionally update this privacy policy. All revisions will be posted to this website and DMC urges you to review its Privacy Policy frequently.

DMC understands your concerns as a client for privacy and the need to ensure the privacy of all your information. Your privacy is important to us and maintaining your trust and confidence is a high priority. Lawyers have been, and continue to be, bound by professional standards of confidentiality and we, at DMC, have always protected your right to privacy. The purpose of this notice is to explain our Privacy Policy with regard to personal information about you that we obtain and how we keep that information secure.

DMC collects nonpublic personal information about you that is provided to us by you or obtained by us with your authorization or consent. DMC does not disclose any personal information about our clients or former clients to anyone except as permitted by law and subject to state ethic rules.

DMC does not disclose any nonpublic personal information about current or former clients obtained in the course of representation of those clients, except as expressly or impliedly authorized by those clients to enable us to effectuate the purpose of our representation or as required or permitted by law or applicable provisions of codes of professional responsibility or ethical rules governing our conduct as lawyers.

DMC will not sell, share, or otherwise disclose any of the information it collects without your permission. Exceptions are disclosures to third parties who monitor our website, to parties who assist or cooperate in preparing firm mailings, and to third parties with whom DMC may co-sponsor an event (in which case DMC may share attendee lists for purposes of the event). In addition, DMC does not presently collect personally identifiable information via the public area of its website except to the extent that such information is provided from visitors who voluntarily submit a feedback/inquiry form, register for homepage customization features, send electronic mail to DMC or any of its lawyers, register for events, subscribe to newsletters, or submit resumes through the site. Personal information collected through this website is saved in DMC's contact database where it may be combined with pre-existing contact information in the database. DMC and the host of its website take reasonable security precautions to maintain the privacy of the data that is collected, such as ensuring that it is accessible only to appropriate personnel and that the information is user ID- and password-protected.

DMC retains records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and to comply with professional guidelines or requirements of law. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.
