Revision 1.0 | Effective August 27, 2026 | Last updated August 27, 2026
1. Introduction and Scope
Uzoma Sudarma Law Firm (“Uzoma Sudarma,” “the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of every person who visits our website or contacts us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights available to you.
This Policy applies to our website at uzomasudarma.com and all of its subpages; contact forms, case evaluation forms, and other submissions made through the website; email, telephone, and text message communications initiated through the website; and any other online service that links to this Policy.
This Policy does not apply to information governed by an existing attorney-client relationship, which is subject to the confidentiality and privilege obligations described in Section 2; to third-party websites we link to, which maintain their own privacy practices; or to information collected offline in contexts unrelated to the website, except where noted.
By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
2. Important Legal Notices
Please read this section before submitting any information to us.
No attorney-client relationship
Submitting information through this website, sending us email, or calling our office does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Uzoma Sudarma Law Firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when the Firm has completed a conflicts check, expressly agreed in writing to represent you, and you have signed a written engagement agreement.
Information you send is not automatically privileged
Because no attorney-client relationship exists at the point of an initial website inquiry, information you send through this website may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. In some circumstances, unsolicited information may be disclosed to other parties. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through this website.
Send only the information necessary for us to identify who you are, contact you, and perform a preliminary conflicts check. Once we have confirmed in writing that we represent you, we will provide secure channels for the exchange of confidential material.
Confidentiality obligations to clients
For individuals and entities the Firm actually represents, information is protected under Rule 1.05 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, which imposes obligations broader than this Policy. Where this Policy and the Firm’s professional confidentiality obligations differ, the professional obligations control.
No legal advice
Nothing on this website is legal advice, and no content on this website should be relied upon as a substitute for consulting a licensed attorney about your specific circumstances. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Time-sensitive deadlines
Legal claims are subject to statutes of limitations and notice deadlines, some of which are very short. Do not rely on a website submission to preserve a deadline. We do not guarantee that a website submission will be received, read, or acted upon within any particular time. If your matter is time-sensitive, call our office directly at (832) 680-2380.
3. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you complete a form, email us, call us, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect your full name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number; the practice area you are inquiring about, a description of your legal issue, the date and location of an incident, the names of other parties involved, insurance information, and any other details you choose to provide; your availability and preferred method of contact; the content of messages and voicemails you send us; and any files, photographs, records, or attachments you submit.
Sensitive information
Depending on the nature of your inquiry, information you provide may include categories treated as sensitive under applicable law, including physical or mental health condition, diagnosis, injuries and treatment history; information relating to a criminal proceeding, arrest, or citation; financial account or income information; and family or household information relevant to a probate, estate, or wrongful death matter.
We collect this information only where you choose to provide it and only to evaluate and, if we are engaged, to handle your matter. Do not provide sensitive information through the website unless it is necessary for us to evaluate your inquiry. Where consent is required by law before we process sensitive data, we will obtain it.
We do not collect biometric identifiers, and we do not sell sensitive personal data or biometric personal data.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, certain information is collected automatically by our web server, our security software, and our analytics tools: IP address and the general geographic location derived from it; browser type and version, operating system, and device type; referring website or search engine; pages viewed, time spent on each page, and links clicked; date and time of your visit; and cookie identifiers and similar device identifiers.
This information is collected in aggregate and is generally not used to identify you individually, except in connection with security monitoring and fraud prevention.
Information from third parties
We may receive information about you from referral sources, including other attorneys, prior clients, and referral services; publicly available sources, including court, government, and property records; service providers that support the website; and investigators, experts, medical providers, and insurers, where you have authorized us to obtain records in connection with a matter.
4. How We Use Your Information
- Responding to inquiries. To contact you, answer your questions, and evaluate whether we can assist you.
- Conflicts checking. To determine whether representing you would create a conflict of interest.
- Providing legal services. To represent clients, prepare and file documents, communicate with opposing parties and courts, and manage matters.
- Billing and administration. To manage engagements, invoices, trust accounting, and records.
- Website operation and improvement. To maintain, secure, analyze, and improve the website and its content.
- Security and fraud prevention. To detect, prevent, and respond to spam, abuse, unauthorized access, and other malicious activity.
- Legal and ethical compliance. To comply with applicable law, court orders, subpoenas, and our professional obligations as licensed Texas attorneys.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies in the following categories.
Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function, including session cookies, security cookies set by our firewall, and cookies that record your cookie consent preferences. These cannot be disabled.
Performance and caching. Used by our page caching and image optimization systems to serve pages quickly. These do not identify you.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the site, which pages are most useful, and where visitors encounter problems. Analytics collect pages viewed, session duration, approximate location, device and browser information, and referral source.
Advertising. We do not currently use advertising, retargeting, or conversion tracking cookies on this website. If that changes, we will update this Policy before those technologies are activated.
Your cookie choices
When you first visit the site, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may change your choice at any time using the cookie preferences control on the site. You may also control cookies through your browser settings, and you may opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the website function.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals. There is no industry standard for how these should be handled, and our website does not currently respond to them. We do honor the Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data, to the extent that concept applies to us. As stated throughout this Policy, we do not sell or share personal data in any event.
6. Service Providers and Third-Party Disclosures
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We disclose information only in the circumstances described below.
Service providers
We use service providers that process information only as needed to perform services for us, in the following categories.
| Category | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Web hosting | Hosting the website and storing submissions | All data submitted through the site; server logs |
| Form processing | Collecting and routing contact and case evaluation submissions | Information you enter into forms |
| Spam screening | Automatically screening submissions to block spam and abuse | Form content, IP address, email address, and browser user agent |
| Email delivery | Delivering form notifications and correspondence | Sender and recipient addresses, subject, and message content |
| Website security | Firewall, malware scanning, and blocking malicious traffic | IP address, request data, and login attempt records |
| Analytics | Measuring website traffic and performance | Cookie identifiers, pages viewed, approximate location, device information |
| Search performance | Monitoring how the site appears in search results | Aggregated, non-identifying search data |
A note on spam screening. To protect the Firm and our website from automated abuse, form submissions are screened by a third-party anti-spam service. This screening transmits the content of your submission, along with your IP address, to that service. If your inquiry contains sensitive details, please be aware that this screening occurs before the message reaches us. This is another reason to limit the detail you provide in an initial website inquiry.
In the course of representation
If we represent you, we may share information with courts, opposing counsel, insurers, medical providers, experts, investigators, court reporters, mediators, co-counsel, and vendors as necessary to advance your matter, consistent with our professional obligations and your instructions.
Legal requirements
We may disclose information where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required to comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process; to respond to a request from a government or regulatory authority, including the State Bar of Texas; to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, or the public; or to prevent imminent harm. We will assert applicable privileges and objections before disclosing client information in response to legal process, to the extent permitted.
Business transfers
If the Firm merges, dissolves, or transfers its practice, client and prospective client information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the confidentiality and notice requirements imposed on Texas attorneys.
7. Communications, Calls, and Text Messages
If you provide your telephone number or email address, you consent to our contacting you at that number or address about your inquiry, including by voice call, voicemail, and email.
We send text messages only with your prior express consent. Where we do, message and data rates may apply, you may opt out at any time by replying STOP, and you may request help by replying HELP.
You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time by replying STOP to a text message, using the unsubscribe link in any email, calling us at (832) 680-2380, or emailing us@uzomasudarma.com. We will continue to send communications necessary to a matter we are handling for you. Those are not marketing communications and cannot be opted out of while the representation continues.
8. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include encryption of data in transit using TLS across the entire website, a web application firewall and malware scanning, automated screening of form submissions, access controls limiting who within the Firm can view submissions and files, regular software updates and security patching, and confidentiality obligations imposed on Firm personnel and vendors.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you transmit information to us at your own risk. Unencrypted email in particular should not be used for confidential material.
If a breach of system security compromises sensitive personal information, we will provide notice as required by Section 521.053 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and any other applicable law.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law and our professional obligations. Client files are retained in accordance with the Firm’s file retention policy and applicable State Bar of Texas guidance. Inquiries from prospective clients that do not become matters are retained for a limited period sufficient to maintain conflicts records and document that no representation was undertaken. Website analytics and security logs are retained for a limited period consistent with the settings of the applicable service.
Conflicts-check records may be retained indefinitely, because the Firm has a continuing professional obligation to identify conflicts of interest. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or render it non-identifying.
10. Children’s Privacy
This website is directed to adults and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at us@uzomasudarma.com and we will delete it.
Where the Firm represents a minor in a personal injury or wrongful death matter, information about that minor is provided by a parent, guardian, or authorized representative and is handled as part of the client file.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Texas residents
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act gives Texas residents certain rights regarding personal data. Depending on whether and how the Act applies to the Firm, and subject to its exemptions, these rights include the right to confirm whether we process your personal data and to access it; to correct inaccuracies; to request deletion; to obtain a portable copy of data you provided; and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not engage in any of those three activities.
As a matter of policy, we will honor these requests from any visitor, regardless of whether the Act technically applies to us.
We cannot delete or alter information where retention is required by law, court order, or our professional obligations, or where the information is part of a client file or a conflicts record. We will explain the basis for any partial denial.
How to submit a request
Submit requests by email to us@uzomasudarma.com, by mail to the address in Section 15, or by calling (832) 680-2380. Please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line.
To protect your information, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before acting on a request. If we cannot verify your identity, we may decline the request. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written authorization.
We will respond within 45 days of receipt. We may extend that period once by an additional 45 days where reasonably necessary, and we will inform you of the extension and the reason for it. There is no charge for the first request in any 12-month period.
Appeals
If we decline to act on your request, we will tell you why. You may appeal that decision by replying to our response or by writing to us at the address in Section 15 with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.” We will respond to an appeal within 60 days. If we deny the appeal, we will provide you with a method to contact the Texas Attorney General to submit a complaint.
California residents
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by California law. We will honor verifiable requests from California residents on the same terms described above.
Other states
Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy statutes may have comparable rights. We will consider and respond to those requests in good faith.
Visitors outside the United States
Our services are directed to persons located in the United States, and our servers and personnel are located in the United States. If you access this website from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal data on the following bases: your consent, the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website and in evaluating inquiries. You may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
12. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to third-party websites, including courts, government agencies, data sources, and directories. We provide these links for convenience and information. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
13. Testimonials, Reviews, and Case Results
Where we publish a client testimonial, review, or case result, we do so only with the client’s permission or where the information is already public. If you have provided a testimonial and wish to have it removed, contact us at us@uzomasudarma.com. Reviews you post on third-party platforms, including Google, are governed by those platforms’ terms and privacy policies, not this Policy.
