Du Markowitz LLP Privacy Policy

Attorneys, like other professionals who advise on personal financial matters, are now required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. Attorneys have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy and will continue to do so.

Information We Collect and Disclose

In the course of providing you with financial advice, we receive significant nonpublic personal information from you. For current or former clients, we do not disclose any such information obtained in the course of our practice except as required by law, or as agreed to by you.

How We Protect Information

We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide professional services to you. To guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.
