Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 6, 2026
Stephen Bandar Law Office ("we," "us," "our," or the "Firm") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website stephenbandarlaw.com or contact us about legal services.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Name, phone number, email address, and case-related details when you submit a contact form, request a consultation, or message us via WhatsApp or chat.
- Documents and information you share during attorney-client consultations.
Information Collected Automatically
- Google Analytics 4: page views, session duration, device type, approximate location, traffic sources.
- Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram): page visits and conversion events for advertising performance.
- Cookies and similar technologies: to remember preferences and improve user experience.
2. How We Use Your Information

3. Attorney-Client Confidentiality
Once an attorney-client relationship is formally established, all communications are protected by attorney-client privilege under Massachusetts law. Submitting a contact form does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through unsecured channels until a formal engagement is in place.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only with:

- Co-counsel, courts, and government agencies as required to represent you.
- Authorities when required by law, court order, or legal process.
