Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how The Meeks Law Firm, PLLC (the “Firm”) collects, uses, and discloses information about visitors to themeekslawfirm.com (the “Site”).

This policy governs the Site only. Information provided after a person becomes a client of the Firm is governed by the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar and by the written engagement agreement between the client and the Firm, both of which impose confidentiality obligations broader than those described here.

Information the Firm collects

Information you provide. Name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and the facts of the matter you describe, submitted through the Site's contact forms, intake forms, or consultation scheduling pages.

Information collected automatically. IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and approximate geographic region, collected through cookies and similar technologies. The Cookie Policy identifies each of these technologies by name.

Payment information. The Firm accepts payment through LawPay. Card and bank account details are entered directly on LawPay's systems. The Firm does not receive or store full payment card numbers or bank account numbers.

How information is used
To respond to inquiries and evaluate whether the Firm can undertake a representation, including running conflict-of-interest checks
To schedule and conduct consultations
To provide legal services once an engagement agreement is signed
To operate, secure, and maintain the Site
To understand how visitors find and use the Site, and to measure advertising performance, where the visitor has consented to those cookies
To comply with legal, ethical, and Florida Bar recordkeeping obligations
Information submitted through the Site is not privileged

Submitting a form, sending an email, or leaving a voicemail through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Until the Firm has completed a conflicts check and both the prospective client and the Firm have signed a written engagement agreement, information sent to the Firm is not protected as a confidential attorney-client communication.

Please do not send sensitive, privileged, or time-critical details through the Site. Email transmitted over the internet is not encrypted end to end and may be intercepted or misdirected.

Disclosure of information

The Firm does not sell personal information and does not disclose personal information to third parties for those parties' own marketing purposes. Information is shared only as follows:

Wix.com Ltd. — website hosting and platform infrastructure, including form submissions and scheduling
Google LLC — Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads, and only after a visitor consents to analytics or advertising cookies
LawPay (AffiniPay, LLC) — payment processing
Service providers used to operate the practice, including email, document storage, electronic signature, and case management providers, each of which is obligated to maintain confidentiality
Courts, opposing counsel, and third parties where a representation requires it and consistent with the Firm's confidentiality obligations under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar
Law enforcement or other parties where disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, or to protect the rights or safety of any person
Retention

Inquiry information from persons who do not become clients is retained for as long as needed to run conflict-of-interest checks and as required by the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. Client files are retained for at least six years after the conclusion of a matter, or longer where the engagement agreement or applicable rules require it.

Your choices
Cookies. Non-essential cookies load only after consent. Consent may be changed at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in the Site footer, and browser settings may be used to block or delete cookies.
Global Privacy Control. The Site honors the GPC browser signal as a request to opt out of non-essential tracking.
Do Not Track. Browser “Do Not Track” headers are not standardized and are not separately honored.
Email. Any marketing email from the Firm includes an unsubscribe link. Messages about an active matter are not marketing and cannot be unsubscribed from.
Access, correction, and deletion. A request to access, correct, or delete personal information may be sent to the address below. The Firm will honor reasonable requests, subject to its legal and ethical retention obligations, which in many cases prevent deletion.

The Florida Digital Bill of Rights applies only to controllers with more than $1 billion in global annual revenue that meet additional statutory criteria. The Firm is not such a controller, and the rights described above are offered as a matter of practice rather than statutory obligation.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and the Firm does not knowingly collect personal information from them. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact the Firm to have it removed.

Third-party links

The Site links to third-party services, including the Firm's social media profiles and LawPay. Those services have their own privacy policies, and the Firm is not responsible for their practices.

Security

The Firm maintains reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information handled. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and no guarantee of absolute security can be given.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Any revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
