Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2026

Stratman Law Firm ("Stratman," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit stratmanlawfirm.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. We have written it to be readable, not to bury the important parts in legalese.

This policy covers your use of the Site. It does not cover information you share with us after you become a client of the firm. That information is governed by your engagement letter and the applicable rules of professional conduct.

A quick note before you read further

Using this Site, contacting us through it, or sending us an email does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential information about your matter until we have confirmed in writing that we represent you. For the full explanation, see our Attorney Advertising Disclaimer.

Information we collect

Information you give us When you fill out a contact form, request a consultation, subscribe to updates, pay an invoice, send us a text message, or email us, you may share:

Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. The nature of your legal question or matter (please keep this general until we have cleared conflicts). Information about your community association, property, business, or other entities you are inquiring on behalf of. Payment information, which is processed by our third-party payment provider and not stored by Stratman. Anything else you choose to include in your message.

Information we collect automatically When you visit the Site, our servers and analytics tools may automatically collect:

IP address and general location (city or region level). Device type, browser type and version, operating system, and screen resolution. Pages you visited, time spent on each page, and how you arrived at the Site (referring URL, search terms, or ad clicks). Date and time of your visit.

We collect this information through standard web technologies including cookies, pixels, tags, and server logs. For details on cookies specifically and how to control them, see our Cookie Notice.

Information from third parties We may receive information from referral sources, co-counsel, opposing counsel, courts, or public records in connection with a matter or potential matter. We may also receive limited information from our analytics, advertising, and lead-management providers, such as ad platforms reporting on campaign performance.

How we use your information

We use the information described above to:

Respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we can represent you. Run conflict-of-interest checks. Provide legal services to clients of the firm. Send transactional communications, such as appointment confirmations, invoices, and case updates. Send firm news, blog updates, or other marketing communications when you have asked to receive them (you can unsubscribe at any time). Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and understand how visitors use it. Measure the performance of our marketing and advertising. Comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional responsibility obligations. Protect the security and integrity of the Site, our systems, and the people who use them.

We do not sell your personal information.

Analytics, Advertising and Tracking

To understand how the Site is performing and to reach the right audience, we use third-party analytics and advertising tools. These tools may set cookies or use similar technologies and may collect information about your visit, including IP address, pages viewed, and actions taken on the Site.

The tools we currently use include:

Google Analytics 4 Google Ads conversion tracking Google Tag Manager Meta (Facebook and Instagram) advertising and conversion tracking LinkedIn Insight Tag and conversion tracking X (formerly Twitter) advertising and conversion tracking HighLevel (LeadConnector) tracking and lead management.

We may add, remove, or change the tools we use over time. Our Cookie Notice describes the categories of cookies and trackers in more detail and how you can manage them.

You can also opt out of many advertising trackers at the network level through tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page (optout.aboutads.info), the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (optout.networkadvertising.org), and your browser's privacy and tracking settings.

How we share your information

We share information only in the circumstances below.

Service providers. We share information with vendors who help us operate the firm and the Site, including hosting, email, analytics, advertising, customer relationship management, scheduling, payment processing, e-signature, document management, and similar services. These providers are only authorized to use your information to perform services for us.

Professional and legal obligations. We may share information when needed to provide legal services, including with co-counsel, experts, courts, opposing counsel, or other parties to a matter. We may also share information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or applicable rules of professional conduct.

Business transitions. If Stratman is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor will be bound by this Privacy Policy or notify you of any changes.

Protection and safety. We may share information when we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to protect our rights, the safety of our team or clients, or the integrity of our systems.

With your direction. We share information when you ask us to or otherwise direct us to do so.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in a way that requires a separate opt-out under applicable state law beyond the controls already provided through our Cookie Notice and the opt-out tools described above.

Text Messaging (SMS)

Stratman uses text messaging to communicate with prospects and clients through HighLevel, Twilio, and LeadConnector. By providing your mobile number through a Site form, a consent checkbox, or by texting us first, you agree to receive text messages from Stratman related to your inquiry, your matter, appointments, or services you have requested.

Message frequency varies based on your interaction with us. Message and data rates may apply through your mobile carrier. We do not sell or share your mobile number or text content with third parties for their marketing purposes.

You can reply STOP at any time to opt out of further messages from a given number, or HELP for assistance. You can also email us at [email protected] to request that we stop texting you.

If you are not already a client, please remember that text messages are not a secure channel and submitting information by text does not create an attorney-client relationship or make the information confidential or privileged.

If you are a client, co-counsel, or a retained expert, please treat the contents of any text messages you receive from us as confidential to preserve any attorney-client or work product protections that may apply.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In practice that means:

Inquiry information from contact forms, calls, texts, and emails is retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and to evaluate potential representation, and afterwards for a limited period for conflict-checking and record-keeping purposes. Client matter information is retained in accordance with applicable rules of professional conduct and our records retention policy. Analytics and advertising data is retained for the periods set by the third-party tools we use, which we periodically review. Marketing contact information is retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove you.

We may retain information longer when required by law, when needed to resolve a dispute, or when needed to enforce our agreements.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. These can include:

The right to know or access the personal information we have about you. The right to correct inaccurate information. The right to request deletion of your information, subject to legal and professional responsibility exceptions. The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (Stratman does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California law). The right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. The right to opt out of certain profiling or targeted advertising. The right to data portability. The right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights. The right to appeal a decision we make about a request, where applicable state law provides one.

These rights apply to residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, and other states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws, to the extent those laws apply to us and our processing of your information.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request. If you submit a request through an authorized agent, we may ask for proof of authorization. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

Some information is exempt from these rights, including information protected by attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, the rules of professional conduct, or other applicable legal exceptions.

To exercise a right, contact us at [email protected].

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided information to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete it.

International Visitors

The Site is intended for users in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our servers and offices are located. By using the Site, you consent to that transfer and processing.

Stratman is an Arizona law firm and does not market its services to residents of the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions outside the United States.

Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted through the Site. Please do not send sensitive or confidential information through the Site or by unencrypted email.

Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites and platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and post the updated policy on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after the updated policy is posted means you accept the changes.
