Flock of Legals, accessible from www.flockoflegals.com, is a legal information blog owned and operated by the Law Offices of Mark A.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected and recorded by Flock of Legals and how it is used.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regard to the information they share and/or that we collect on Flock of Legals. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.

Information We Collect

The personal information you are asked to provide, and the reasons why, will be made clear to you at the point we ask for it.

If you contact us directly, including through our consultation request form, we may collect:

  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Date of birth
  • Driver's license number
  • Court and case information
  • The contents of your message and any details you choose to share about your legal matter

Submitting this information does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please see our Disclaimer page for more detail.

If you register for an account, we may also ask for your contact information, including company name, address, email address, and telephone number.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our website

Referrals to Other Attorneys

When you submit a consultation request, your information is sent directly to the Law Offices of Mark A. Gallagher. If your matter falls outside our practice areas, or we are unable to take your case, we may recommend another attorney who could help. In that situation, we provide you with that attorney's contact information so that you may reach out to them directly. We do not share, sell, or transmit your personal information to any other attorney or firm.

Marketing Communications & Consent

We will only send you marketing calls, texts, or emails if you have affirmatively opted in via the separate marketing checkbox provided on our forms. Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of using our services. You may opt out at any time by:

Information collected includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and possibly click counts. This information is not linked to anything personally identifiable and is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather demographic information.

They may automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies measure advertising effectiveness and/or personalize the content you see.

Flock of Legals has no access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers.

Third-Party Privacy Policies

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. We advise you to consult the respective privacy policies of third-party ad servers for more detailed information, including how to opt out of certain practices.
