Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 01 January 2019

Last Revised: 30 July 2026

Sodhi Law Group, APC (“Sodhi Law Group,” “the Firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of visitors to our website, prospective clients, current clients, referral partners, and all individuals who communicate with our office.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights available to you, including rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”) and other applicable state privacy laws. It applies to our website, communication platforms, online intake forms, appointment scheduling tools, and related digital services.

  1. Notice at Collection

At or before the point we collect personal information, for example, when you submit an intake form or scheduling request, we provide a short notice identifying the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which it will be used, consistent with Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100. This Privacy Policy is the full statement of that notice and our broader privacy practices.

  1. Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

  •     Name
  •     Email address
  •     Telephone number
  •     Mailing address
  •     Preferred contact method
  •     Case-related information you voluntarily submit
  •     Documents you voluntarily upload
  •     Appointment requests
  •     Communications with our office

Sensitive Personal Information

Depending on the nature of your matter, information you submit may include sensitive personal information, such as a Social Security or government identification number, financial account information, precise geolocation, or health information. We collect and use sensitive personal information only as reasonably necessary to evaluate or provide legal services, communicate with you, and comply with our professional and legal obligations. Under the CCPA/CPRA, you have the right to request that we limit the use of sensitive personal information to these purposes; see Section 11 below.

Technical Information

When you visit our website, certain technical information is collected automatically, including:

  •     IP address
  •     Browser type
  •     Device information
  •     Operating system
  •     Pages visited and time spent on pages
  •     Referring website
  •     Approximate geographic region
  •     Website interaction data

Sources of Information

We collect information directly from you (forms, calls, emails, texts, chat), automatically through your use of our website (see Section 5), and, occasionally, from referral partners or publicly available sources in connection with evaluating a potential matter.

  1. How We Use Information
  •     Respond to inquiries and schedule consultations
  •     Evaluate potential legal matters and conduct conflict checks
  •     Communicate with prospective and existing clients
  •     Provide, manage, and improve legal services and client communication
  •     Maintain internal business and billing records
  •     Improve website functionality, performance, and security
  •     Comply with legal, regulatory, and professional (State Bar) obligations

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. As described in Section 5, certain website analytics and advertising technologies may constitute a “share” of information under the CCPA/CPRA even though no money changes hands; Section 11 explains how to opt out.

  1. How We Share Information

We share personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate the Firm and provide legal services:

  •     Service providers who support website hosting, cloud storage, appointment scheduling, CRM and communication platforms, email delivery, SMS messaging, reputation management, payment processing, analytics, and security monitoring, each receives only the information reasonably necessary to perform its function and is contractually restricted from using it for any other purpose
  •     Co-counsel, experts, or other parties as necessary to represent you, and only with appropriate authorization
  •     Regulators, courts, or government authorities where required by law, court order, or professional obligation
  •     Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of Firm assets, subject to the same privacy commitments
  1. Cookies, Analytics & Advertising Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies, including:

  •     Google Analytics
  •     Google Tag Manager
  •     Google Search Console
  •     Google Business Profile Insights
  •     Meta (Facebook) Pixel and conversion tracking
  •     Session and security cookies

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; some website features may not function properly if you do so.

We honor opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for the browser or device sending the signal, consistent with CCPA/CPRA regulations.


  1.  Communication Consent & Messaging

If you provide your telephone number or email address through our website, intake forms, or in person, and separately check a consent box or otherwise provide affirmative written consent, you agree to receive communications from Sodhi Law Group, APC, which may include:

  •     Consultation scheduling and appointment reminders
  •     Case status updates and requests for documentation
  •     Intake follow-up and office notifications
  •     Review requests
  •     Communications by email, telephone, and SMS/text message

Providing your contact information does not obligate you to retain Sodhi Law Group, APC, and consent to receive communications is not a condition of hiring the Firm or purchasing any service. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP.

We do not sell, rent, lease, or distribute telephone numbers to third parties for marketing purposes.

  1. Client Communication & CRM Platform

To manage client communication, scheduling, and intake, the Firm uses a secure customer relationship management (CRM) and communication platform. This platform supports email and SMS communication, appointment scheduling, intake workflows, review requests, and communication history tracking. Information stored in this platform is used solely for the operation of the Firm and client communication and is subject to the safeguards described in Section 9.

  1. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide legal services, maintain client files consistent with State Bar recordkeeping obligations and applicable statutes of limitations, and meet accounting, tax, and legal requirements. If you contact us but do not become a client, we retain intake information only as long as reasonably necessary to evaluate the inquiry and comply with conflict-check obligations, after which it is deleted or de-identified absent a legal reason to retain it.

  1. Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No electronic system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a breach of unencrypted personal information that triggers notification obligations under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82 or other applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and any required regulators in accordance with that law.

  1. Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, completing a contact form, scheduling a consultation, sending an email, or communicating through any online platform does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after: (a) a conflict check has been completed; (b) the Firm agrees to undertake representation; and (c) an executed engagement agreement has been signed where applicable.

  1. Confidential Information Before Representation

Although we take reasonable measures to protect communications, electronic communication is not always secure. Please avoid submitting highly confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive legal information until representation has been confirmed.

  1. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are directed to adults and are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information in Section 15 so we can address it.

  1. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to:

  •     Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and (if applicable) share, and request access to the specific pieces of information collected about you
  •     Correct inaccurate personal information
  •     Delete personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions
  •     Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
  •     Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to provide services
  •     Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of these rights
  •     Designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf
  •     Appeal a denial of a rights request

To exercise these rights, submit a request using the contact information in Section 15. We will verify your identity before responding and will respond within the timeframes required by law (generally 45 days, extendable once by an additional 45 days with notice). You may also opt out of the sale or sharing of your information, or exercise a Global Privacy Control signal, as described in Section 5.

  1. Other State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain other states (for example, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and others with comprehensive privacy laws) may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain uses of personal information. Requests from residents of these states may be submitted using the contact information in Section 15 and will be handled consistent with applicable state law.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, Firm operations, or communication practices. The Effective Date and Last Revised date above indicate the most recent version.

  1. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
