Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how GA Defense Criminal Lawyers (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “the firm”) collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit gacriminallawyers.com (the “Site”) or contact our firm. By using the Site or contacting us, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Important
Submitting a contact form, calling our office, or otherwise reaching out to GA Defense Criminal Lawyers does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we conduct a conflict check, you sign a written representation agreement, and we accept your case in writing.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information when you use the Site:
- Information you provide directly — your name, phone number, email address, and any case-related details you submit through our consultation forms or share with us by phone, email, or text.
- Information collected automatically — your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited on the Site, referring URL, and aggregated analytics data collected through tools like Google Analytics. We may also use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and measure Site usage.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide a free initial consultation.
- Conduct the conflict-of-interest check required before we can discuss your case in detail.
- Communicate with you about your case if we accept representation.
- Improve the Site, our services, and our marketing communications.
- Comply with our legal and ethical obligations as Georgia-licensed attorneys.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances:
- Service providers — companies that help us operate the Site, manage email, host data, or process payments. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
- Legal requirements — when required by court order, subpoena, or applicable law.
- If our firm is sold or restructured — successor counsel may receive your information subject to the same confidentiality obligations.
Confidentiality of Communications
Communications you send through the Site or to our firm before we have signed a representation agreement are not protected by attorney-client privilege. Do not send confidential or sensitive information about your case through web forms or unsecured email until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established. Once we represent you, all communications are protected to the fullest extent allowed by Georgia law and the Rules of Professional Conduct.
Cookies and Analytics
The Site uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — to remember your preferences and measure how visitors interact with the Site. We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data. You can disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may limit some Site functionality.
Call Tracking
Phone numbers displayed on the Site may be routed through call-tracking services that record metadata (call source, duration, time) for marketing-effectiveness purposes. We do not record the substance of calls without your consent.
Data Security
We use commercially reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the bottom of this page indicates when it was most recently revised. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

[REVIEW] Attorney customization needed
This is a baseline privacy policy. Before launch, an attorney admitted to the Georgia bar should review and customize: (1) state-specific bar advertising rules, (2) any state-mandated privacy disclosures (e.g., CCPA if you serve California residents), (3) data retention policies specific to law-firm record-keeping requirements, and (4) any third-party tracking services not listed above.
