SMS Terms & Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 12, 2026

Important: Text messages, emails, phone calls, and website submissions do not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only if Allen Legal accepts the matter and a written retainer agreement is signed.

1. Program Description

Allen Legal uses SMS text messaging for client-service and intake communications, including appointment reminders, consultation follow-up, case-status updates, document requests, scheduling changes, and other administrative communications related to an inquiry or active matter.

2. How You Opt In

You may consent to receive text messages from Allen Legal by one or more of the following methods:

  • Signing a retainer or intake document that authorizes text communication
  • Giving verbal consent during a phone call or in-person meeting that is documented by staff
  • Emailing or otherwise writing to request text-message communication

Allen Legal does not use this program for unsolicited cold-text marketing. Messaging is limited to people who contact the firm, request communication, or have an existing relationship with the firm.

3. Message Frequency

Message frequency varies by case activity and your interaction with the firm. Some people may receive no messages in a given month; others may receive multiple messages during active scheduling, document collection, or case updates.

7. Privacy Policy

When you communicate with Allen Legal by text message or provide your mobile phone number through our website, forms, or other communications, we may collect and store:

  • Your name and mobile phone number
  • Message content, timestamps, and delivery records
  • Case or intake information needed to evaluate or handle your matter

Allen Legal does not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or any personal information collected through our SMS messaging program with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.

We use your information solely to communicate with you, evaluate inquiries, provide legal services, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations. We may share information with authorized staff, attorneys, and service providers who assist with firm operations, solely for the purpose of delivering legal services and firm administration — never for third-party marketing. We may also disclose information when required by law.

Your consent and opt-in data for this SMS program is confidential and will not be shared with or sold to any outside party.

8. Confidentiality and Security

Allen Legal uses reasonable safeguards to protect your information. However, SMS is not guaranteed to be encrypted end-to-end, so do not send highly sensitive information by text unless instructed to do so by the firm.
