How we handle your information
Privacy Policy
Effective August 10, 2026. This policy covers letangiehelp.com, operated by the law firm Claeys, McElroy-Magruder & Kitchens.
We are a law firm. We take privacy seriously in our practice every day, and this page explains, in plain language, what information this website collects, what we do with it, and what we do not do with it.
Information you send us
If you use a consultation form on this site, we receive what you type: your name, phone number, email address, and your message. The form also records basic context about your visit, such as the page you submitted from, how you found us (for example, a search ad or a link), and a reference number we use to keep track of your inquiry. This information is delivered to our office so we can respond to you.
If you call or text us, we receive your phone number and whatever you choose to tell us. Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply to texting.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used and whether our advertising works. Through Google Tag Manager, we use Google Analytics, which collects information such as your device type, browser, approximate location, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. If you reach us through an ad, advertising services such as Google Ads may record that the ad led to a visit, a call, or a form submission.
These measurement tools count events. They are not given the contents of your form message, your name, or the details of your situation.
How we use information
- To respond to you and schedule your free consultation.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To measure whether our advertising and pages are working, using aggregate statistics.
- To meet our legal and professional obligations.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not put the contents of your messages, or details about your debts or legal situation, into analytics or advertising tools.
- We do not send you marketing email lists just because you contacted us.
When information is shared
We share information only with the service providers that make the website work, such as our website host, form and email delivery services, and the analytics and advertising measurement services described above, and only for those purposes. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our firm, our clients, or others.
Website inquiries are not confidential legal communications
Sending us a message through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship, and we are not your attorneys until we both agree in writing. Until then, please do not send account numbers, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive details through the website. If you have an urgent deadline such as a foreclosure sale, garnishment, or court date, call our office instead of using a form.
What you discuss with us in a consultation is treated as confidential in accordance with the rules of professional conduct, whether or not you hire us.
How long we keep information
We keep website inquiries as long as reasonably needed to respond to you, to comply with our legal and professional obligations, and to maintain our records. If your inquiry becomes a client matter, the firm's file retention practices apply.
Security
The site uses HTTPS encryption, and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure, which is one more reason not to send highly sensitive details through a web form.
Children
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
- You can browse the site without submitting any form.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's opt-out browser add-on. Information about how Google uses data from sites like ours is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- You can ask us what contact information we hold about you from a website inquiry, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where the law and our professional obligations allow. Use the contact information below.
- If you no longer want us to contact you about an inquiry, tell us and we will stop.
Links to other sites
Pages on this site link to outside resources, such as courts, government agencies, and mapping services. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
