Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Shawn Council Law Firm℠ LLC ("the Firm," "we," "us") collects through georgiaattorneynearme.com (the "Website"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

We collect only the information needed to respond to you, schedule consultations, and send the updates you ask for. We do not sell your personal information.

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us through the following features:

• Book Consultation form: your name, email address, phone number, the practice area you select, your preferred appointment date and time, and any description of your legal matter you choose to include.
• Contact form: your name, email address, an optional phone number, the topic you choose, and your message.
• Newsletter sign-up: your email address and the date you subscribed.
• Phone calls and correspondence: anything you share when you call our office at (678) 466-6910 or write to us.

Features that do not collect your information: the "Value My Case" calculator runs entirely in your browser. The figures you enter are not sent to us or stored. The chat button only shows our contact options. It does not record messages.

Like most websites, the servers that host the Website may automatically record standard technical information when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you request, and the date and time of each request. This information is used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Website.

To prevent spam, the consultation and contact forms run a short automated check in your browser before sending your request. This check does not identify you personally or track you across other websites.

The Website does not use advertising cookies, analytics trackers, or tracking pixels, and we do not build advertising profiles about visitors.

Some images on the Website are loaded from third-party content delivery networks. When your browser requests those images, the provider may receive standard technical information such as your IP address. If we ever add analytics or other tracking tools, we will update this policy first.

• To respond to your consultation request and confirm, reschedule, or follow up on your appointment.
• To check for conflicts of interest before we discuss a matter with you.
• To send the legal news, case analyses, and firm updates you subscribed to.
• To keep the Website secure, prevent spam and abuse, and fix technical problems.
• To comply with our legal and professional obligations.

Consultation requests and contact messages are sent to the Firm's office by email. They are not saved in the Website's database. Newsletter email addresses are stored in the Website's database, which is hosted by our website hosting provider.

We share personal information only in these limited situations:

• With service providers that host the Website and deliver email for us. They may use the information only to provide those services.
• When required by law, court order, or the Rules of Professional Conduct that govern Georgia attorneys.
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of the Firm, our clients, or others.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone for marketing purposes.

We treat information about a potential legal matter with care. However, submitting a form, subscribing to our newsletter, or otherwise contacting us through the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship begins only after the Firm agrees to represent you, usually through a written engagement agreement.

Until then, please do not send confidential or time-sensitive details about your matter through the Website. Email is not a fully secure form of communication. If your matter is urgent, call our office directly.

We keep newsletter subscriptions until you ask to unsubscribe. We keep consultation correspondence for as long as needed to respond to you, check for conflicts, and meet our professional record-keeping duties.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may contact us at any time to:

• Unsubscribe from our newsletter.
• Ask what personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete your information, unless we must keep it for legal or professional reasons.

To make a request, use our online contact form, call (678) 466-6910 (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM), or write to us at 36 Highway 138 W, Suite 202, Stockbridge, GA 30281. We may need to confirm your identity before completing a request.

The Website links to outside sites, including our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and YouTube pages. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control. Please review their policies before sharing information with them.

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. A parent or guardian may contact us about a child's legal matter. If you believe a child has submitted information through the Website, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date above will change. Please also review our Terms of Service, which govern your use of the Website.
