3. Text Messaging (SMS/MMS) Communications

Consent to Receive Text Messages

By providing your mobile telephone number to Pirkle Law Firm — whether through our website forms, by phone, in person, or in writing — and affirmatively opting in, you consent to receive text messages from us at that number. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of hiring the Firm or of receiving any legal service, and you may decline or withdraw consent at any time.

Types of Messages You May Receive

Text messages from Pirkle Law Firm may include: responses to inquiries you have submitted, case status updates, appointment scheduling and reminders, requests for documents or information, and other communications related to your matter or your inquiry.

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on your matter and your interactions with us. Message frequency may be recurring.

Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. These charges are set by your mobile carrier and are your responsibility.

How to Opt Out

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After you reply STOP, we will send a single confirmation message and will send no further texts to that number unless you opt back in.

To opt back in, reply START or contact our office directly.

For assistance, reply HELP to any message or call us at 770-882-2200.

Carrier Disclaimer

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery is not guaranteed, and message delivery depends on factors outside our control. Do not rely on text messaging for urgent or time-sensitive legal matters. If your matter is urgent, call our office at 770-882-2200.

Mobile Information Is Not Sold or Shared for Marketing

No mobile information will be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile numbers and opt-in data may be shared only with subcontractors and service providers that support our operations — such as our text messaging platform, telephone provider, and case management system — solely so that they can deliver messages and support services on our behalf. These providers are bound by contract to protect this information and are prohibited from using it for their own marketing purposes.

Consent Records

We retain records of your opt-in and opt-out requests, including the date, time, and method of consent, as required by applicable law and carrier requirements, and for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including tag management and web analytics tools, to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure site performance, and understand how visitors use our content.

Most web browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being set. Instructions are typically found in your browser’s help or settings menu. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how portions of our website function.

We do not use cookies to collect the substance of any legal inquiry you submit to us.

5. How We Share Your Information

Pirkle Law Firm does not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers. We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf — including website hosting, form and intake processing, telephone and text messaging services, email delivery, case management software, document storage, and analytics. These providers may access your information only to perform services for us and are contractually obligated to keep it confidential.

Professionals working on your matter. With your authorization, we may share information with medical providers, expert witnesses, investigators, court reporters, co-counsel, or other professionals retained in connection with your case.

Legal and ethical obligations. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or governmental request, or when necessary to comply with our professional responsibilities, establish or defend legal claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, or others.

With your consent. We may share information for any other purpose you specifically authorize.

Business transitions. In the event of a merger, dissolution, or transfer of the Firm’s practice, client information would be handled in accordance with the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and applicable law.

6. Confidentiality and No Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, sending us an email, or exchanging text messages does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Pirkle Law Firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when the Firm and the client sign a written representation agreement.

Because no attorney-client relationship exists until representation is agreed upon in writing, information you send us before that point may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through this website until you have spoken with us and confirmed that we are able to represent you.

Once you become a client, all communications and information are protected by the attorney-client privilege and the confidentiality obligations imposed by the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, which are broader than the protections described in this Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with our legal, ethical, and professional obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Client files are retained in accordance with the Firm’s file retention policy and applicable Georgia rules governing attorney records. Inquiry information from individuals who do not become clients is retained for a limited period consistent with our conflict-checking and recordkeeping obligations.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include encrypted transmission of website form data, access controls, and vendor confidentiality obligations.

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and you transmit information to us at your own risk.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You may:

Opt out of text messages by replying STOP to any message from us.
Opt out of emails by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting our office. Note that we may still send you communications necessary to your active legal matter.
Request access, correction, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the information below. We will respond consistent with applicable law and our professional obligations. Please note that information contained in client files may be subject to retention requirements that limit our ability to delete it.
Manage cookies through your browser settings.

Depending on where you reside, you may have additional rights under your state’s consumer privacy law. If you believe you have such rights, contact us using the information in Section 13 and we will respond as required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it. When we represent a minor in a personal injury matter, information about that minor is collected from and with the authorization of a parent or legal guardian.

11. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including review platforms, social media pages, and directory listings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be posted prominently on this page. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
