Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 10, 2025


1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At B. S. Johnson Law, PLLC, we value structure, precision, and trust. Just as we apply rigorous analytical standards to your legal cases, we apply the same level of care to the protection of your personal information.


This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide to us through our website, Client Portal, and payment systems. By accessing our Site, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.


2. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: Personal Information that you knowingly disclose to us, and Technical Information collected automatically as you interact with our Site.


A. Personal Information

We do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it. You may provide this information when you:

  • Complete a "Contact Us" form or schedule a consultation.
  • Register for or log into our secure Client Portal.
  • Make a payment via our Make a Payment page.
  • Subscribe to our newsletter or "Success Blog."

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and specific details regarding your legal inquiry.


B. Payment Information

If you make a payment through our website, your financial information (credit card numbers, bank account details) is processed by our secure third-party payment processor. B. S. Johnson Law, PLLC does not store your full credit card number or sensitive financial data on our own servers. All transactions are encrypted and handled in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).


C. Technical Information (Cookies)

Like most modern websites, we use "cookies" and server logs to analyze how visitors use our Site. This data includes your IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and the pages you visit. We use this data solely to improve the functionality and performance of our digital presence. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may limit your ability to use certain features of the Site.


3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for specific, defined purposes:

  • Legal Services: To deliver the services you have requested, including case evaluations, document drafting, and representation.
  • Communication: To respond to your inquiries, send administrative updates, and provide legal notices relevant to your case.
  • Conflict Checks: To ensure that representing you does not create a conflict of interest with existing clients.
  • billing: To process payments and manage your account.

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal lists or data to third parties.


4. Important: No Attorney-Client Relationship

Please Read Carefully: Submitting information to B. S. Johnson Law, PLLC via this website, including through our "Contact Us" forms or email links, does not create an attorney-client relationship.


An attorney-client relationship is only formed when we have expressly agreed to represent you, typically evidenced by a signed engagement letter. Until that relationship is established, please do not send confidential or sensitive information (such as specific details of a crime or unpublicized trade secrets) through standard web forms.


5. Data Security

We employ "reasonable measures" designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We utilize Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect data transmission on our Site. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.


6. Sharing Information with Third Parties

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our clients. These parties include:

  • Case Management Software Providers: To securely store client files (e.g., our Client Portal host).
  • Payment Processors: To facilitate billing.
  • IT Support: To maintain website security and functionality.

These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal process served on us.


7. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external sites, including Virginia Court resources and educational videos on YouTube. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any website you visit.


8. Your Rights (Virginia Residents)

While B. S. Johnson Law, PLLC may not meet the volume thresholds to be mandatory subjects of the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), we believe in the spirit of transparency. If you wish to review, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, please contact us directly. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, subject to our legal and ethical record-keeping obligations.


9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will indicate when the latest revisions were made.
