Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
This website is operated by Sammis Law Firm, P.A., 1005 N. Marion Street, Tampa, Florida 33602. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit tampaflduilawyer.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Contacting Us Does Not Create an Attorney-Client Relationship
Sending us a message through this website, by email or by phone does not make you our client. An attorney-client relationship begins only after we have agreed to represent you, usually in a signed written agreement. Until then, please do not send us confidential or sensitive details about your case through the website forms. Give us your contact information and a short description, and an attorney will contact you to discuss the details.
Even before you become a client, we treat the information you share with us about a possible case as confidential.
Information You Give Us
We collect information you choose to give us, including:
- Contact and consultation forms: your first and last name, email address, phone number and the message you write.
- Blog comments: your name, email address, any website you list, and your comment. Your name and comment are shown publicly with the post. Your email address is not.
- Phone calls and emails: anything you tell us when you call or email the firm.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours automatically collects some technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the website that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We collect it using cookies and similar tools from:
- Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
- Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our forms and comments from spam and abuse. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- Security and performance tools that protect the site from attacks and help pages load quickly.
You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Some parts of the site may not work properly if cookies are blocked.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your questions and schedule consultations.
- To check for conflicts of interest before we agree to represent anyone, as the rules governing lawyers require.
- To publish and manage blog comments.
- To understand how the website is used and to improve it.
- To keep the website secure and prevent spam and fraud.
- To meet our legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.
When We Share Information
We share information only as needed to run the firm and this website, including with:
- Service providers who work on our behalf, such as our website host, our client-intake and practice-management software, our email provider, and Google (for analytics, spam protection and maps). They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
- Legal requirements: we may disclose information when required by law, court order or the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
Content From Other Websites
Some pages include content from other companies, such as Google Maps, Google reviews and YouTube videos. Those companies may collect information about you when that content loads, under their own privacy policies. This site also links to other websites, including court, government and social media sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, or as long as the law and our professional obligations require. Records of consultations and client matters may be kept for several years to meet those obligations.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information we collect, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection for the whole site. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You may ask us to tell you what personal information we have about you from this website, or ask us to correct or delete it. We will honor these requests unless the law or our professional obligations require us to keep the information. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Children
This website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through the site. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it. Parents and guardians seeking help with a juvenile case are welcome to contact us directly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed.
