Privacy Policy
Effective November 8, 2026
The Law Office of Maxwell White, LLC is a Maryland law firm at 241 E 4th Street, Suite 206, Frederick, MD 21701. This page explains what happens to information you send through maxwellwhitelaw.com.
What we collect
When you use a form on this site, we receive what you type into it: your name, your email address, your phone number if you give one, the type of matter you select, and your message. Those forms send an email to our office. We also receive email, phone calls, and voicemail sent to the addresses and numbers on this site.
If you become a client, we collect the records needed to represent you and keep them in our case management system.
Our server and analytics record technical information automatically: IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, and the site that referred you.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages people read. It sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_...) that stay in your browser for up to two years and hold a random identifier rather than your name. Google receives your IP address. You can block these cookies in your browser, or install Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on. The site works the same either way.
We do not run advertising or retargeting pixels, and we do not use cookies to follow you to other websites.
WordPress sets login and session cookies for staff who sign in to update the site. Those do not apply to visitors.
Who else sees it
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for anyone else’s marketing. These companies handle data on our behalf:
- Google LLC for Google Analytics, Google Fonts, and our Google Workspace email.
- Hetzner Online GmbH, which hosts this website.
- Clio (Themis Solutions Inc.), our practice management system, where inquiries and case files are stored.
- Elfsight, which displays our Google reviews on some pages.
- BlueNotary, for remote online notarization if we schedule a signing with you.
If you open a matter, we share information with courts, opposing counsel, experts, and co-counsel as the representation requires, and with anyone else you authorize in writing. We will also disclose information when a law or court order requires it.
How long we keep it
Inquiry emails and form submissions: three years, then deleted. Client files: seven years after a matter closes, or longer when a statute, court rule, or our malpractice insurer requires it.
Your choices
Email contact@maxwellwhitelaw.com to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. We will confirm who you are before we act. We cannot delete records the law requires us to keep or records we need for a matter we are handling.
If you live in California, the CCPA gives you the right to know what personal information a business holds, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information. Send requests to the email above.
Security
This site runs over HTTPS, and access to our systems is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure. Email and web forms are not the place for Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or medical records. Send those another way or call the office first.
A message does not make you a client
A form, an email, or a voicemail does not create an attorney-client relationship. We run a conflicts check before we accept a matter. Until we agree in writing to represent you, treat what you send as unprivileged and leave out details you would not want stored on a server.
Children
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will post the new effective date at the top of this page.
