Last updated: November 2026

Batista Law Firm, LLC ("Batista Law Firm," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, batistalaw.com (also reached at batistalawfirm.com), our social media pages, and our online advertising, including contact forms on Facebook and Instagram, and how we use and protect that information.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you fill out a contact form, send us a message, call, text, or email us, we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, branch of military service, and a description of how we can help.

Forms on Facebook and Instagram. If you send us a form through one of our ads on Facebook or Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc. passes us the information you submit in that form. Meta's own use of your information is governed by Meta's privacy policy.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our website and its hosting provider automatically collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit, through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information:

to respond to your inquiry and schedule a consultation;
to decide whether we can help with your matter, including checking for conflicts of interest;
to communicate with you by phone, text message, or email about your inquiry or your case;
to run, maintain, and improve our website;
to measure how well our advertising works; and
to meet our legal and professional obligations.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Contacting us through our website, a social media page, an online ad, or a form does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship begins only when we agree in writing to represent you. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information until we have agreed to represent you.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only:

with service providers that help us run our office, such as our website host and our email, telephone and text messaging, case management, and electronic signature providers, who may use it only to provide services to us;
with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or other parties when you authorize it as part of our representation of you;
when required by law, court order, or subpoena, or by the rules that govern lawyers; and
to protect the rights, property, or safety of our firm, our clients, or others.

5. Text Messages

If you give us your mobile number, we may text you about your inquiry or your case. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop receiving texts. We do not share mobile phone numbers or text messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, to understand how visitors use it, and to measure our advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly without them.

7. How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of sending or storing information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. How Long We Keep Information

We keep information as long as needed for the purposes described above, and as long as the law and the rules governing lawyers require us to keep client files and records.

9. Your Choices

You may ask us to update, correct, or delete the personal information you gave us, subject to our legal and professional obligations to keep certain records, by contacting us using the information below. You may stop texts by replying STOP and stop emails by asking us.

10. Children

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. Other Websites

Our website and posts may link to other websites, such as VA.gov. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
