This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information in connection with mogganlaw.com (the “Website”) and in our interactions with clients, prospective clients and other individuals.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual, other than information excluded from that definition under applicable privacy legislation.

Professional Obligations and Lawyer-Client Relationships
As a law firm, Moggan Law is subject to professional duties concerning confidentiality and the handling of client information in addition to applicable privacy legislation.
Accessing the Website, or contacting Thomas J. Moggan or Thomas Moggan Law Corporation through email or otherwise, does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
A lawyer-client relationship is created only after Thomas Moggan Law Corporation has agreed to act for you, a written engagement has been confirmed, and any applicable conflicts and client-intake requirements have been satisfied.
If you are not an existing client, please do not send confidential, privileged or time-sensitive information to us unless we have expressly requested it and confirmed that we are able to receive it in confidence.
