The Law Offices of Andrew Cargill (“the firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your email address
- The practice area your inquiry relates to

The form does not include a free-text description field, in order to discourage submission of confidential information before an attorney-client relationship has been established.

This information is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools and is used to operate, secure, and improve the website.
