MINOR

The Law Firm respects the privacy of minors and is committed to ensuring that their personal information is treated with the utmost care and in accordance with applicable laws. We do not collect information via the medium of internet services from individuals whom we know to be minors.

In such cases, we will ensure that the collection of personal information from minors is carried out with appropriate consent from their parents or legal guardians, or as otherwise permitted under applicable laws.

If you are a minor, please do not provide any personal information to us without the consent of your parent or legal guardian.
