We strongly suggest that you read the privacy policies for each external site that you visit through any link appearing at this site.
Attorney Client Relationship
Transmission of information from this Web site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the firm, nor is it intended to do so. The transmission of the website, in part or in whole, and/or any communication with us via Internet e-mail through this site does not constitute or create an attorney-client relationship between us and any recipients. We are not your attorneys until a written representation is signed by both parties.
All information submitted through this website will be kept in
strict confidence. Submission of information to Lerma Law Office, or use of this website, does not constitute an

Your privacy with respect to the use of our website results from a partnership between Lerma Law Office and you, the user. At this website, we attempt to protect your privacy to the maximum extent possible.
Personally Identifiable Information
We use the term "personally identifiable information" to mean any information that could reasonably be used to identify you, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, Social Security number, birth date, bank account information, credit card information, or any combination of information that could be used to identify you.

This site collects voluntary information from through any email messages you choose to send to our office.

Information Automatically Collected and Stored by this Site
This website does not use permanent "cookies." However, the site uses temporary "session cookies" to allow visitors to interact with the site and to use online applications.

We
do not sell any personally identifiable information collected through
this website in conjunction with using
functions on the website, and there is no direct or online public
access to the information.
In addition, the information that you voluntarily submit will be disclosed only to our attorneys and other employees, or those under contract with the Firm, with a "need to know" for purposes of fulfilling their job responsibilities in relation to your case.

The public records laws and the fair information practices statutes
provide you certain rights to get information about yourself that is in
our records. To learn more about the circumstances under which you can
get and correct this information, please refer to the relevant Idaho state laws

Because emails sent to Lerma Law Office are not encrypted, you should not send messages containing information that you consider highly sensitive to this website. We use standard security measures to ensure that information provided by you, including your personally identifiable information, is not lost, misused, altered, or unintentionally destroyed. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits.

Cookies
are files that a website can place on your computer. A cookie file
contains unique information that a website can use to track such things
as your password, lists of Web pages you have visited, and the date
when you last looked at a specific Web page, or to identify your
session at a particular website. A cookie file allows the website to
recognize you as you click through pages on the site and when you later
revisit the site. A website can use cookies to "remember" your
preferences, and to record your browsing behavior on the Web. Although
you can prevent websites from placing cookies on your computer by using
your browser's preference menu, disabling cookies may affect your
ability to view or interact with some websites.
An "Internet Protocol Address" or "IP Address" is a series of numbers that identifies each computer and machine connected to the Internet. An IP address enables a server on a computer network to send you the file that you have requested on the Internet. The IP address disclosed to us may identify the computer from which you are accessing the Internet, or a server owned by your Internet Service Provider. Because it is machine-specific, rather than person-specific, an IP address is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable information
