Who we are and what this policy covers
Chekian Law Office (“we,” “us”) is a bankruptcy law firm at 633 West Fifth Street, Suite 2600, Los Angeles, CA 90071. This policy explains what personal information we collect through cheklaw.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have.
This policy covers our website only. Information you share with us as a client is also protected by our duty of confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege, which this policy does not limit.
Information we collect
We collect only what you send us and basic information about how you use the site.
| Category | Examples | Source |
| Contact details | Name, email address, phone number | You, through our contact form, email, or phone |
| Message content | The subject and text of your message, which may describe your financial or legal situation | You, through our contact form or email |
| Device and usage data | IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, date and time of visit, the page that referred you | Collected automatically by our web server and analytics tools |
| Cookies and similar identifiers | A unique identifier stored in your browser | Set by our website and analytics tools (see Cookies, analytics, and your choices) |
Please do not send confidential details about your case through the contact form. We will collect those securely once we speak with you.
How we use your information
We use your information to run our practice and our website, and for nothing else.
- To respond to your inquiry and schedule a consultation
- To evaluate whether we can represent you, including checking for conflicts of interest
- To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
- To protect the site from spam, fraud, and security threats
- To meet our legal and professional obligations
Contacting us through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship begins only after we agree in writing to represent you.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose it only to service providers who help us run the site and our office, under contracts that limit their use of it to serving us.
| Service provider | What they do for us |
| Bluehost | Hosts our website and stores web server logs |
| PostHog | Website analytics: which pages are visited and how the site is used (only after you accept analytics cookies) |
| CleanTalk | Screens contact form submissions and protects email links from spam |
| reCAPTCHA spam protection on our forms, Google Fonts for the site’s text, and YouTube for embedded videos | |
| Instagram and LinkedIn | Display embedded social media content (only after you accept cookies) |
| Microsoft 365 | Receives and stores the emails and form messages you send us |
We may also disclose information when the law requires it, such as in response to a subpoena or court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others. We will never disclose a prospective or current client’s information in a way that breaches our professional duty of confidentiality.
Cookies, analytics, and your choices
Analytics cookies, and cookies from embedded YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn content, are set only after you accept them in the cookie banner. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work and stay secure are set without consent.
- Change your mind anytime. Use the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of any page to accept or decline analytics.
- Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a decline of analytics cookies, and our analytics tools will not run.
- Do Not Track. We also treat your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting as a decline of analytics cookies. We do not knowingly allow other companies to track you across sites through our website.
- Browser controls. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Your privacy rights
Whatever state you live in, you can ask us to do any of the following with the personal information we hold about you.
- Access: know what personal information we have collected about you, where it came from, why we use it, and who we have disclosed it to, and get a copy.
- Deletion: ask us to delete it.
- Correction: ask us to fix information that is inaccurate.
- Portability: receive your information in a commonly used electronic format.
- Opt out: decline analytics cookies (see Cookies, analytics, and your choices). We do not sell or share your information for advertising, so there is nothing further to opt out of.
- Non-discrimination: we will not treat you differently or deny you services for using any of these rights.
Some requests have legal limits. For example, we may have to keep records that our rules of professional conduct, court rules, or the law require us to retain, and we cannot release information protected by another person’s privilege or confidentiality. If we deny any part of a request, we will tell you why.
How to make a request
Email mike@cheklaw.com or call (877) 243-5529 and tell us which right you want to use.
- We confirm receipt within 10 business days.
- We verify your identity by matching the details you give us (such as your name, email, and phone number) against the information we already hold. For sensitive requests, such as a copy of your information or deletion, we may ask one or two more questions. We will not ask for more than we need, and we use what you give us only to verify you.
- We respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you why and may take up to 45 more days.
An authorized agent can make a request for you if they give us your signed written permission, and we may still confirm your identity directly with you.
How long we keep it
We keep inquiries from people who do not become clients only as long as we need them to respond and to check for conflicts of interest. Client information is kept for the periods our professional rules and the law require. Website analytics data is kept for no more than 12 months.
How we protect it
We use encrypted connections, access controls, and reputable service providers to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive details through the contact form.
Children
Our website is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information through it.
Changes to this policy
We review this policy at least once a year and whenever our practices change. The “Last Updated” date at the top shows when it last changed, and we keep prior versions on file.
