This privacy policy explains how OJ Advocates PLL (“OJ LLP”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses and discloses information about you when you use our websites and other online services (collectively, the “Services”), when you attend our events or when you otherwise interact with us as described below.

We may change this policy from time to time.

We encourage you to review this policy whenever you access the Services to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

In the course of providing our clients with legal services, we receive significant personal information about you either from you or with your authorization.

We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your non-public personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.

Please call if you have any questions regarding this matter. Your privacy, our professional ethics, and the ability to provide you with quality legal services are very important to us.
