Hector I. Rodriguez (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained through hirlawoffice.com, consultation forms, telephone calls, email, text messaging, and related communications.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:
- Full name
- Telephone or mobile number
- Email address
- Preferred language
- Type of legal matter
- Preferred consultation date or time
- Information you provide about your inquiry or legal matter
- Other information you choose to provide when contacting the Firm
We may also collect limited technical information when you use the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and website usage information.
How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- Respond to inquiries and consultation requests

Submitting information through the website or contacting the Firm does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.
SMS/Text Messaging
If you provide a mobile telephone number and separately consent to receive text messages, the Firm may send SMS/text communications regarding your inquiry, consultation, appointments, requested services, and other service-related communications.
- Message frequency varies.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to opt out at any time.
- Reply HELP for assistance.
- Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of receiving legal services.
Mobile Information and SMS Consent
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
The Firm may disclose information to service providers that support website hosting, communications, scheduling, data storage, security, or other business operations, but only as reasonably necessary for them to provide services on the Firm’s behalf and subject to applicable confidentiality and data-protection obligations. The Firm may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, safety, or security.
Cookies and Website Technology
The website may use cookies or similar technologies that support website functionality, security, analytics, or user experience. Browser settings may allow you to restrict certain cookies, although doing so may affect website functionality.
Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, electronic communication, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and to satisfy applicable legal, ethical, recordkeeping, and business requirements.
Third-Party Services and Links
The website and communications systems may rely on third-party service providers. The website may also contain links to third-party websites. The Firm is not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, or content practices of websites or services it does not control.
Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidential Information
Contacting the Firm through the website, consultation form, email, telephone, or text message does not by itself establish an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information unless an attorney or authorized Firm representative has instructed you to do so.
Your Choices
- You may decline optional SMS consent and still submit a consultation request.
- You may opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP.
- You may contact the Firm to ask questions about information you submitted, subject to applicable legal and professional obligations.
Children’s Privacy
The website is not directed to children under 13. The Firm does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website without appropriate authorization.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
