This website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure how visitors use the site, and improve the experience over time. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings.

We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies and process visitor data on our behalf. These services receive limited information through industry-standard methods. We do not allow them to combine that data with personally identifying information you submit through this site.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to our legal and professional retention obligations. To make a request, contact us using the information below.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100 percent secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

For questions about this policy, or to exercise any of your rights, contact the Law Office of Bret W. Schmidt, PC at bret@bretschmidtlaw.com or (214) 526-1100. We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version.
