Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 11, 2026

Osborn Machler PLLC (“Firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting the information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit an inquiry, request a case review, or otherwise communicate with us.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you contact us, submit a website form, or request a case review, you may provide information such as:

Our website includes both general contact forms and forms that allow prospective clients to request an evaluation of a potential legal matter. The current Free Case Review form asks for contact information as well as the type, location, approximate date, and parties involved in the matter.

Please use care when deciding what information to submit through the website. As explained below, submitting information does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically, including:

  • Browser and device information
  • Operating system
  • Pages viewed
  • Website interactions
  • Referring website or source
  • Approximate geographic information
  • Session and usage information
  • IP address or information derived from an IP address
  • Cookie and similar technology identifiers

The specific information collected depends on your browser, device, website settings, and privacy preferences.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through the website to:

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you
  • Review or evaluate potential legal matters
  • Determine whether the Firm may be able to assist you

  • Comply with applicable legal, ethical, regulatory, and professional obligations
  • Protect the rights, property, safety, and interests of the Firm and others

We do not sell or rent personal information submitted through our website.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Visiting this website, submitting a form, requesting a case review, sending an email, or otherwise contacting Osborn Machler PLLC does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Firm has reviewed the matter, agreed to provide representation, and confirmed the relationship through an appropriate written agreement.

Please do not send information that you consider confidential or privileged unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

Submitting information does not guarantee that the Firm will represent you or be able to assist with your matter.

4. Website Forms and Communications

Information submitted through our website may be transmitted to Firm personnel and processed through systems and service providers used to operate the website and manage communications.

We use reasonable measures intended to protect information submitted through our forms. However, electronic communications and internet transmissions cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If your matter is urgent or highly sensitive, you may wish to contact the Firm by telephone before transmitting detailed information electronically.

5. Google reCAPTCHA

Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to help protect website forms from spam, automated submissions, fraud, and abuse.

reCAPTCHA analyzes website interactions and technical information to determine whether activity is likely to come from a human visitor or an automated system. Google describes reCAPTCHA v3 as a risk-analysis service that evaluates interactions without requiring the visitor to complete a traditional CAPTCHA challenge.

Google may set a necessary cookie named _GRECAPTCHA when reCAPTCHA is executed for risk-analysis purposes.

Information processed through reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s applicable privacy policies and terms.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, security, visitor preferences, and analytics.

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies support functions required for the website to operate properly. These may include cookies used for:

  • Website security
  • Spam and fraud prevention
  • Form functionality
  • WordPress functionality
  • Remembering privacy and cookie preferences

Our website uses Avada’s Privacy & Consent tools. When these tools are enabled, Avada uses a cookie named privacy_embeds to remember a visitor’s consent preferences for third-party services and tracking technologies.

Necessary cookies may operate regardless of whether you accept optional analytics cookies because they support essential website functionality and security.

Analytics Cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use our website and to improve its content, performance, and usability.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • Website and page interactions
  • Number of visitors and sessions
  • Approximate geographic location
  • Browser and device information
  • Traffic and referral sources
  • Pseudonymous identifiers used to distinguish website sessions or visitors

Google Analytics uses a first-party _ga cookie containing a client identifier when Analytics storage is enabled.

We use website privacy controls that allow visitors to manage optional analytics preferences. Avada’s Privacy Consent Tools can prevent configured tracking scripts and third-party services from loading until the required consent is provided.

You can accept or reject optional cookies through the website’s Privacy & Consent interface and manage your preferences through the available cookie settings.

  • Google reCAPTCHA
  • Website software and technology providers
  • Email and communication providers
  • Professional service providers

These providers may process information only as appropriate to perform services for us or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Third-party services may maintain their own privacy policies and data-processing practices.

8. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We may disclose information:

  • To service providers that help us operate our website or business

  • In connection with a business restructuring or other lawful organizational transaction

We do not sell or rent personal information submitted through our website.

9. Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These safeguards may include website security controls, access restrictions, anti-spam measures, secure connections, software maintenance, and other appropriate security practices.

No website, database, email system, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:

  • Respond to inquiries
  • Evaluate potential legal matters
  • Maintain appropriate business records

  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce agreements or protect legal rights

11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to our processing of your information, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

  • Request information about personal information we maintain about you
  • Request access to certain personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of certain information
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Not all rights apply in every circumstance, and certain legal, ethical, professional, or other exceptions may limit our ability to fulfill a request.

To submit a privacy-related request, please contact us using the information provided below.

Oregon Residents

Where the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act applies, Oregon residents may have additional rights regarding access, correction, deletion, copies of personal information, information about certain third-party disclosures, and certain opt-out rights. Oregon’s law applies based on statutory processing thresholds and other requirements, so its provisions do not automatically apply to every business serving Oregon residents.

12. Consumer Health Information

Information voluntarily submitted in connection with an injury, medical malpractice, sexual abuse, or other legal matter may include information concerning an individual’s physical or mental health, medical care, treatment, or other sensitive circumstances.

Where applicable law provides additional protections for consumer health information, we will handle such information in accordance with applicable requirements.

If the Firm maintains a separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, a link to that policy should be inserted here.

13. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites, services, or resources operated by third parties.

We do not control those third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy, security, content, or business practices.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information.

14. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We may receive information concerning a minor when that information is submitted by a parent, guardian, or other person in connection with a legal inquiry.

If you believe a child has directly submitted personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us.

15. Washington Privacy Laws

As a Washington-based law firm, we handle personal information in accordance with applicable Washington and federal laws and applicable professional responsibilities.

Washington law may provide additional protections for certain categories of consumer health data. Where those laws apply, additional notices, consent requirements, or privacy rights may apply.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:

  • Our website
  • Technology or service providers
