Privacy & Communications Policy

Law Offices of Rudolph F.X. Migliore, P.C.

Effective Date: May 5, 2026

Last Updated: May 5, 2026


1. Introduction

This Privacy & Communications Policy (the “Policy”) describes how the Law Offices of Rudolph F.X. Migliore, P.C. (“MiglioreLaw,” “the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information about visitors to migliorelaw.com (the “Site”) and individuals who contact us, submit case-evaluation forms, or otherwise communicate with the Firm.

We are a law firm headquartered in New York and our principal office is located at 353 Veterans Memorial Highway, Suite 200, Commack, NY 11725. Although we are physically located in New York, our personal injury and mass tort practice involves a nationwide co-counsel network, and we may receive inquiries from individuals located in any state.

By using the Site or submitting any form, communication, or information through the Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy and consent to the practices it describes.

This Policy does not create an attorney-client relationship. See Section 12 below.


2. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to information collected through:

  • The MiglioreLaw website at migliorelaw.com and any subdomains
  • Contact forms, intake forms, and case-evaluation forms hosted on the Site
  • Email, telephone, or text-message communications you initiate with the Firm in response to Site content
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies operating on the Site

This Policy does not govern information you provide directly to the Firm in the course of an established attorney-client relationship, which is governed by the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, our retainer agreement, and applicable privilege and confidentiality rules.


3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you contact us or submit a form, you may provide:

  • Identifying information: name, mailing address, email address, telephone number(s)
  • Case-related information: facts about your potential legal matter, including dates, locations, parties, and a description of injuries, exposures, or harm
  • Family information: details about family members where relevant to wrongful-death or loss-of-consortium claims
  • Any other information you choose to include in your message

3.2 How Form Submissions Are Transmitted and Stored

When you submit a contact, intake, or case-evaluation form on the Site, the information you provide is transmitted to the Firm by electronic mail. The Site itself does not retain a copy of your submission in any database. Once your submission is delivered to the Firm’s email environment, it becomes part of our prospective-client communications, governed by Section 10 (Retention) and Section 12 (No Attorney-Client Relationship).

In the ordinary course of operating any website, our web server may also generate technical logs that include limited information such as IP addresses, timestamps, and browser identifiers associated with site visits, including form submissions. These logs are maintained for short periods for security, performance, and troubleshooting purposes, and are not used to build marketing profiles of visitors.

Your consent record. The Firm records your consent to be contacted by your act of checking the consent box at the time of submission.

Data minimization. This architecture is designed to limit the amount of personal information stored on public-facing infrastructure.

3.3 Cookies, Analytics, and Other Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and to understand how visitors use the Site. We use:

  • Strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function (for example, to authenticate users and maintain session state)
  • Functional cookies that remember your preferences
  • Analytics cookies that help us understand aggregate Site usage and improve our content

You may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, certain features of the Site may not function properly.

3.4 Information from Third Parties

We may receive limited information about you from third parties, including referring attorneys, co-counsel firms within our network, or referral services that pre-screen potential mass tort claimants. Any such information is used solely to evaluate and, if appropriate, assist with your potential matter.


4. How We Use Information

We use the information described in Section 3 for the following purposes:

  • To evaluate whether the Firm or our co-counsel network may be able to assist with your potential legal matter
  • To contact you about your inquiry, including by telephone, email, and text message, consistent with the consent you provided at submission
  • To establish, maintain, and document an attorney-client relationship if one is formed
  • To deliver legal services and pursue legal claims on behalf of clients we represent
  • To comply with our legal, ethical, and professional obligations, including conflict-of-interest checks and record-retention requirements
  • To detect, prevent, and respond to fraudulent or automated submissions and security threats
  • To preserve evidence necessary to assert or defend against legal claims
  • To improve the Site, our marketing, and our client service

We do not use information collected through the Site for any purpose materially different from those described above without first providing notice and, where required, obtaining your consent.


5. Communications & TCPA Consent

By submitting a contact, intake, or case-evaluation form on the Site and checking the consent checkbox, you agree to the following:

I agree to this Privacy & Communications Policy and consent to receive emails, telephone calls, and/or text-message offers and communications from Rudolph F.X. Migliore, P.C. and its network of lawyers working in this area of practice, at any telephone number or email address I have provided, including my wireless number. I understand that my wireless carrier may charge me for such communications. I understand these communications may be generated using an automatic telephone dialing system and may contain prerecorded or artificial-voice messages, and that consent to receive these communications is not a condition of receiving any goods or services from the Firm. I understand that this authorization overrides any previous registration of my number on a federal or state Do-Not-Call registry.

Revocation of consent. You may revoke this consent at any time. To stop receiving text messages, reply STOP to any text from us. To stop receiving emails, click the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or contact us at the address below. To stop receiving telephone calls, ask the caller to place you on our internal Do-Not-Call list. We will honor your revocation as soon as reasonably practicable.

Message and data rates. Standard message and data rates may apply to any text message you send or receive. Message frequency varies. Text HELP for assistance.


6. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Co-counsel and affiliated lawyers. Because our practice operates through a nationwide network of co-counsel, we may share information you provide with attorneys in that network for the purpose of evaluating, accepting, and prosecuting your potential matter. All such attorneys are bound by professional confidentiality obligations.
  • Operational service providers. We engage third-party service providers to host the Site, deliver email, operate our case-management system, and process credit-card payments for retainers and invoices. These providers receive only the limited information necessary to perform their specific function and are contractually obligated to protect it.
  • Litigation and case-prosecution vendors. In connection with matters we accept for representation, we routinely engage outside professionals and service providers we deem necessary or helpful to evaluate, prepare, or prosecute the case. These may include, without limitation, medical-records retrieval services, treating and consulting physicians, expert witnesses, investigators, court reporters, deposition and trial-support vendors, e-discovery platforms, translators, mediators, process servers, and similar third parties. Information shared with these vendors is limited to what is reasonably necessary for their role, is shared in furtherance of your representation, and remains subject to applicable confidentiality, work-product, and privilege protections. This category applies to information provided in the course of an attorney-client relationship and not to information provided by prospective clients before representation is accepted.
  • Legal compliance. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the rights of our clients, or the public.
  • Business transitions. In the event of the sale, dissolution, merger, or similar transition of the Firm, any transfer of client or prospective-client information will be made in accordance with the New York Rules of Professional Conduct and you will receive any notice and have any rights to which you are entitled under those rules.
  • With your consent. We may share information for any other purpose with your express consent.

7. Minors

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If we become aware that we have collected such information without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

Submissions on behalf of minors. Certain practice areas — including but not limited to our social-media-addiction litigation — involve harm to minors. If you are submitting a form on behalf of a minor child, you represent that you are the minor’s parent or legal guardian and that you are authorized to provide the information and consent contained in the submission. Where required by law or our professional judgment, we may require additional verification before proceeding.

If you believe a minor has submitted information to us without parental authorization, please contact us at the address in Section 15 and we will promptly investigate.


8. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), provides you with certain rights regarding your personal information.

Categories of personal information collected. In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have collected the categories of personal information described in Section 3, including identifiers, internet activity information, geolocation data (at the IP-address level), professional information where voluntarily provided, and sensitive personal information (including health information voluntarily provided).

Sources. We collect this information directly from you, automatically through your interaction with the Site, and occasionally from referring attorneys or co-counsel.

Business purposes. We use this information for the purposes described in Section 4.

Sale and sharing. We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Your CCPA rights. Subject to verification and applicable legal exceptions, you have the right to:

  • Know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights

Important limitation for law firms. Many of these rights are subject to legal and ethical exceptions that apply specifically to law firms, including obligations under the New York Rules of Professional Conduct (and the analogous rules of other jurisdictions) to retain client files and prospective-client communications. We will honor verifiable consumer requests to the fullest extent consistent with those obligations.

To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@migliorelaw.com or by mail at the address in Section 15.


9. Residents of Other States

Several other states — including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and Oregon, among others — have enacted comprehensive consumer-privacy statutes. To the extent any such statute applies to information we collect about you, we will honor the rights granted to you under that statute, subject to the same legal and ethical limitations described in Section 8.


10. Retention of Information

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, and in any event for at least the periods required by applicable law and our professional obligations:

  • Prospective-client communications transmitted to the Firm by email — which include your contact information, the substance of your inquiry, and your indication that you checked the consent box — are retained in the Firm’s protected email environment for a minimum of four (4) years from the date of submission, and longer where required by our professional obligations.
  • Web server technical logs described in Section 3.2 are retained for shorter periods, generally no longer than necessary for security, performance, and troubleshooting purposes.
  • Client files for individuals the Firm agrees to represent are retained in accordance with our retainer agreements, for a minimum of seven (7) years following the conclusion of the matter, and longer for certain categories of records.
  • Usage data described in Section 3.3 is generally retained for shorter periods.

We will retain information longer than these periods where necessary to comply with a legal obligation or in connection with pending or anticipated litigation, audits, or governmental inquiries.


11. Your Choices

In addition to the rights described above, you may at any time:

  • Decline to provide information through the Site (although doing so may limit our ability to evaluate your potential matter)
  • Revoke your consent to communications as described in Section 5
  • Adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies
  • Contact us to request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of your information, subject to the legal and ethical limitations described in this Policy

12. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Submission of information through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. Until the Firm has agreed in writing to represent you in a specific matter — typically through a signed retainer or engagement letter — you should not consider yourself a client of the Firm.

Information you submit through the Site is treated as information from a “prospective client” within the meaning of New York Rule of Professional Conduct 1.18, and we will protect it accordingly. However, you should be aware that:

  • Submission of information does not, by itself, prevent the Firm from representing a party adverse to you
  • Time-sensitive legal matters (including those subject to a statute of limitations) may require prompt action that cannot be guaranteed based on a Site submission alone
  • You should not include privileged or highly sensitive information in an initial Site submission beyond what is necessary for the Firm to evaluate the potential matter

If you have an urgent legal matter, we encourage you to telephone our office at (631) 543-3663 in addition to or instead of submitting a Site form.


13. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including news outlets, government agencies, and informational resources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.


14. International Users

The Site is operated from the United States and is intended solely for individuals located within the United States. The Site is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, individuals outside the United States. If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States, please do not submit any personal information through the Site.


15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice (such as a banner on the Site).


16. Attorney Advertising Disclosure

The content of the Site, including this Policy, constitutes attorney advertising under the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every legal matter is unique and depends on its own facts and applicable law.
