Recently I am sure that you have received privacy notices from various financial institutions concerning how they deal with your financial information. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the Act) requires these annual notices. In the past, the Federal Trade Commission tried to apply the Act to law practices like Buckley Law since this Firm engages in various kinds of tax planning.

For centuries lawyers, as a profession, have understood the importance of confidentiality in the attorney-client relationship. In order to do your legal work, you entrust to us a great deal of personal, nonpublic information. Information shared in confidence with your lawyer and law firm employees is protected by Canons of Ethics, Rules of Professional Conduct and a long tradition of confidentiality.

Our Firm does not reveal any information about you to anyone without your permission. Our staff understands the attorney-client privilege and information obtained by a staff member is given the same privileged and confidential treatment as if given directly to the attorney.

Long before privacy was fashionable, our profession - and since its inception in 1991, this Firm - understood the importance of your privacy and took steps to ensure that it is protected. We always will.
