Valerie Willis Law Firm & Associates (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to safeguarding the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals who engage with our legal services, including clients, prospective clients, and visitors to our website. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in accordance with applicable laws, including the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, and relevant federal regulations.
We collect personal information necessary to provide legal representation and manage our professional obligations. This may include contact details such as name, address, phone number, and email; legal matter information including case type, opposing parties, and court documents; financial data such as billing records and payment history; and digital identifiers like IP address and browser type. In certain cases, we may collect sensitive personal data—such as Social Security numbers, medical records, or immigration status—only when essential for legal representation and with appropriate safeguards.

The Firm uses this information to deliver legal services, communicate with clients regarding case updates and billing, comply with legal and court requirements, improve our website and internal systems, and maintain accurate records for conflict checks and professional accountability. We do not sell or rent personal information. Disclosure occurs only when required by law, authorized by the client, or necessary to perform legal services—such as sharing with co-counsel, experts, or court personnel. We may also share data with secure third-party vendors who assist with payment processing or IT infrastructure.
To protect personal information, we implement robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. These include encrypted email and document storage, secure client portals, role-based access controls for staff, and regular cybersecurity audits. Client records are retained for a minimum of five years following case closure, in accordance with the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. After this period, records may be securely destroyed unless otherwise required by law.
Clients have the right to access their personal data, request corrections, withdraw consent for non-essential communications, and file complaints with the Texas Attorney General or State Bar of Texas if they believe their data rights have been violated. Our website may use cookies and analytics tools to enhance user experience; users may adjust browser settings to disable cookies. We do not track users across third-party websites.
