Because this website belongs to a law firm, information submitted through our website may concern accidents, injuries, medical treatment, insurance claims, potential lawsuits, or other legal matters.

Please use care when submitting information online. Do not provide Social Security numbers, financial-account information, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through a general website contact form unless specifically requested by the firm.

We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted to us. However, no website, email system, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Contacting Us Does Not Create an Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, email, a contact form, telephone inquiry, chat, or other communication does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship between you and Steven C. Lee or the firm.

An attorney-client relationship is established only when the firm expressly agrees to represent you.

Please do not submit highly sensitive or confidential information through the website unless requested by the firm.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as necessary to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, professional, security, and business requirements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These measures may include secure website connections, access restrictions, security monitoring, and secure hosting practices.

However, no website, electronic transmission, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach involving personal information, we will provide notifications as required by applicable federal and state law.
