Privacy Policy

How StepUpLaw handles information you share through this website.

Last updated September 14, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how StepUpLaw ("we," "us," or "the firm") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit https://stepuplaw.com or use the tools, forms, scheduling, and messaging on it. By using this website, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we never share it with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or lead generation. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Full detail is under Text Messages and Mobile Information below.

Information We Collect

  • Information you give us. Your name, email address, phone number, and anything you choose to include when you book a consultation, send a message, use the text-message widget, or otherwise contact us. Please do not send sensitive or confidential details until we have agreed to represent you (see "Before we represent you" below).
  • Scheduling information. When you book a free consultation, we collect the details needed to schedule it (your name, email, the time you select) and send you a confirmation and calendar invitation.
  • Text-message requests. If you use the “Text Kevin” widget, we receive your message, your name, the mobile number or email you provide, and your reply preference so the attorney can text, call, or email you back. Messages may be delivered to the firm through a third-party messaging service so we can reply promptly.
  • Usage data. Basic analytics about how the site is used (such as pages viewed, general region, and device or browser type), collected through Google Analytics and our own basic site measurement. We use it to understand general traffic and improve the site, not to identify you personally.
  • Our calculators and tools. The figures you enter into our calculators (for example, an estate value or a gift amount) are processed in your browser to show an estimate. We do not require you to submit that information to us, and it is not part of your record unless you choose to share it when you contact us.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We aim to keep the site light on tracking. We use only what is needed to operate the site, plus Google Analytics, which sets cookies to recognize repeat visits and measure general traffic. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell tracking data. Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies, the core of the site works without them, and Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of its analytics.

One other cookie exists and almost certainly does not apply to you. If a browser has been marked as internal, so that our own testing does not distort our traffic reports, we store a small preference (named spl_optout) that switches Google Analytics off entirely for that browser and stops the page-trail described above. It holds no personal information, only that the preference is set.

How We Use Information

  • To respond to your questions and messages.
  • To schedule and confirm consultations.
  • To provide legal services if you become a client.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the website.
  • To comply with our legal and ethical obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, including your phone number, and we do not share it for third-party advertising.

How We Share Information

We share information only as needed to run the firm and the site, and only with providers bound to protect it.

  • Hosting and analytics for the website and its forms and tools.
  • Email and scheduling tools we use to reply to you and confirm consultations.
  • A messaging service that relays website messages to the firm so we can respond.
  • When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the firm or others.

We do not share information for any purpose unrelated to serving you, and we do not sell it. We also do not share it with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing, promotional, or lead generation purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Text Messages and Mobile Information

We respect your privacy. We only use the information you give us through this service to transmit your mobile messages and to respond to you. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing information with platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who help us deliver mobile messages. Mobile information will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties or affiliates for their marketing, promotional, or lead generation purposes. That includes your mobile phone number. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We reserve the right to disclose information where a law, a regulation, or a governmental request requires it, or to protect our rights or property.

If you give us your mobile number when you book a consultation, use the text widget, or contact the firm, you are agreeing that we may text you about your question, your consultation, and your matter. These are conversational messages from the attorney and the firm, not marketing blasts, so message frequency varies with your conversation. Message and data rates may apply from your carrier. Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving messages from us, and reply HELP for help. You can also reach us at office@stepuplaw.com or (954) 357-1690. Stopping texts does not end any other way we communicate with you, so we can still reach you by email or phone about a matter we are handling.

Before We Represent You

Contacting us, booking a consultation, or sending a message does not create an attorney-client relationship. Until we have agreed in writing to represent you, the information you send is handled with discretion but may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege, and a conflict of interest could prevent us from representing you. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive details until we have connected and confirmed we can help. See our disclaimers.

Data Retention

We keep the information you provide for as long as needed to respond to you, to provide services, and to meet our legal, ethical, and recordkeeping obligations, then dispose of it appropriately. If you ask us to delete an inquiry that did not become a matter, we will do so where we are not required to keep it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security; please keep that in mind before sending sensitive information online.

Your Choices and Rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have given us, and you may opt out of any non-essential messages at any time by replying or emailing us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state or country's privacy laws; we will honor those that apply. To make a request, email office@stepuplaw.com.

Out-of-State and International Visitors

The firm is based in Florida and operates this website from the United States. If you contact us from another state or country, your information will be processed in the United States. By using the site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and handled in the United States.

Children

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to other websites (for example, government or court resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of sites we do not control.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected here; please check back periodically.
