PRIVACY POLICY NOTICE

The Financial Services Modernization Act, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Pub. Law 106-102 Nov. 12 1999 FTC regulation, 16 C.F.R. Part 313 (May 24, 2000) became effective July 1, 2001.

Attorneys and other professionals who advise on personal financial matters are required by federal law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. Attorneys have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by federal law. We have always protected your right to privacy.

In the course of providing our clients with income tax, estate tax, gift tax, residential real estate closings and other advice, we receive significant personal financial information from our clients. Additionally, we may receive personal information about our clients from other sources including any of the following sources:

• Information we obtain government agencies, public records or publications in the community;
• Information provided by other persons who have provided related services to you, such as other attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, financial planners, banks, insurance companies and others who assist you with various financial information or transactions;
• Information we obtain when handling lawsuits on your behalf;
• Information we obtain from members of the public or the legal community.

If you are a client of Coen Wexler and Wentz you should know that all information that we receive from you is held in confidence and is not released to people outside our firm, except as agreed by you, or as required under applicable law, or as may be necessary when we contact with others to perform for us or for you or for your benefit. As an example: photocopying materials by others when there is a time or monetary savings to us and to you. We will only disclose the information necessary for others to carry out their agreed responsibilities and we require others to treat your information as confidential in all such cases.

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 nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical and electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time, but if we do, or are required by law to do so, we will advise you of the changes as soon as possible.

We pride ourselves in providing you quality legal services. We respect and protect the privacy in those who engage us to perform such services. Please contact us if you have any questions, because your privacy, our ethics and providing you with high quality legal services are important to our firm.
