Privacy Policy, Website Disclaimer & SMS Terms

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice about the specific facts of your situation. Laws, court procedures, deadlines, and legal requirements may change. Although the firm works to keep its website helpful and accurate, it does not guarantee that every statement is complete, current, or applicable to every matter.

Visiting this website, completing an online form, sending an email or text message, scheduling a consultation, or making a payment does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only after the firm agrees to accept the matter and any required engagement agreement and payment arrangements have been completed.

Please do not use an online form, email, voicemail, or text message for an emergency or to protect an immediate legal deadline.

Submitting information does not guarantee that the firm will accept your matter.

Before representation is confirmed, avoid sending information that is unnecessarily sensitive or confidential. Information sent voluntarily to an attorney before representation begins may not always receive the same protections as information provided by an existing client. Florida Bar Ethics Opinion 07-3 addresses unsolicited information sent by prospective clients. 

The firm may retain limited information for conflict checking, security, administrative, or recordkeeping purposes even when a matter is not accepted.

Every legal matter is different. Results depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law, opposing parties, judges, and other circumstances.

Nothing on this website guarantees or predicts a particular result. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes in future matters.

This website may be considered attorney advertising under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. 

Before deciding to hire an attorney, you may request written information about the attorney’s qualifications and experience.

Florida lawyer advertisements must identify at least one lawyer or the law firm responsible for the advertisement and remain truthful and not misleading.

When Christophe Fiori serves as a mediator, he acts as a neutral. He does not represent either party, decide the dispute, or guarantee that an agreement will be reached.

A mediator may provide information about the mediation process but does not provide legal advice to either side. Parties may consult independent counsel about their rights and any proposed agreement.

References to Florida Supreme Court certification describe professional certification and should not be understood as an endorsement or recommendation by the Florida Supreme Court.

Communications made during a mediation may be confidential under Florida law and the Florida Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators. A general inquiry, scheduling request, or contact with the office is not itself a mediation session. Florida-certified mediators are subject to rules governing confidentiality and the handling of mediation records.

This website may link to or display services operated by other companies. The firm does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices.

Your use of a third-party service may also be governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.

The firm may collect information that you voluntarily provide through this website, online forms, email, telephone calls, text messages, the client portal, payment pages, or other communications. This may include your contact information, details about a legal matter or mediation, information about other people involved, documents you upload, scheduling information, billing information, communication preferences, and your consent to receive text messages.

The website and the firm’s service providers may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser or device type, IP address, pages visited, referral source, and general website activity.

The firm may use information to respond to inquiries, conduct conflict checks, evaluate whether to accept a matter, provide legal or mediation services, prepare documents and court filings, schedule appointments, process payments, and communicate about deadlines, documents, case status, billing, and next steps.

Information may also be used to operate and improve the website and office systems, maintain legal and financial records, protect against fraud or misuse, and comply with court rules, professional obligations, tax requirements, and applicable law.

Submitting information through the website does not guarantee that the firm will accept your matter or create an attorney-client relationship.

The firm uses outside companies to help operate its website and law practice. These providers may assist with website hosting, online intake forms, case management, client portals, scheduling, payment processing, accounting, telephone and text messaging, email, cloud storage, analytics, and video conferencing.

Depending on the service used, these providers may include GoDaddy, Jotform, MyCase, LawPay, QuickBooks or Intuit, Calendly, Google, Microsoft, Vonage, Stripe, and Zoom. They may process information as reasonably necessary to provide services to the firm, maintain and secure their systems, prevent fraud, or comply with law. Their own terms and privacy policies may also apply when you use their platforms.

Online payments may be processed through LawPay, QuickBooks Payments, Stripe, or another payment provider. The firm may receive transaction information such as the payer’s name, payment amount, date, invoice number, and payment status.

Payment-card or bank-account information entered directly into a provider’s secure payment system is generally processed by that provider rather than through the firm’s public website. The firm does not control the security or privacy practices of an outside payment platform, although it selects providers intended for legitimate business and legal-payment purposes.

The firm does not sell personal information.

Information may be shared with firm employees, contractors, courts, clerks, process servers, sheriffs, experts, court reporters, opposing counsel, payment processors, technology providers, and others when reasonably necessary to evaluate or handle a matter, provide requested services, process a payment, or operate the firm.

Information may also be disclosed when you authorize the disclosure, when required by law, subpoena, court order, ethical duty, or professional obligation, or when reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, protect security, enforce an agreement, or protect the rights of the firm, its clients, or others.

Information relating to an existing client remains subject to the firm’s applicable legal and ethical duties of confidentiality.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties.

The firm may use a communications provider, such as Vonage, to deliver text messages, manage message delivery, and administer opt-in, opt-out, and support functions on the firm’s behalf. 

Those providers may process mobile information only as reasonably necessary to provide those operational services.

Additional terms governing optional text communications appear in the SMS Text Messaging Terms section of this page.

The website may use cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand website traffic, measure performance, identify technical problems, and improve the usefulness of the site.

These tools may collect general information about how visitors reach and use the website. You may be able to limit or disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect certain website functions.

The firm uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

No website, email system, cloud service, wireless transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Existing clients should use the secure client portal when available for particularly sensitive documents or communications.

Do not use an online form, email, voicemail, or text message for an emergency or as the sole means of protecting a legal deadline.

The firm may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to evaluate inquiries, conduct conflict checks, provide services, maintain legal and financial records, comply with professional and legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the firm’s interests.

Information submitted by a prospective client may be retained for conflict-checking, security, administrative, or recordkeeping purposes even when the firm does not accept the matter.

This website is intended for adults seeking legal or mediation services. The firm does not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children. Information involving a minor should be submitted by a parent, guardian, attorney, or other authorized adult. 

The firm may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time as its practices, technology, or legal obligations change. The effective date shown at the top of the page will identify the most recent revision. 

The Law Office of Christophe Fiori, PLLC may offer optional text-message communications concerning intake submissions, appointments, mediations, requested documents, filings, deadlines, case status, billing, payments, and other service-related updates.

Consent to receive text messages is optional. It is not a condition of hiring the firm, submitting a matter, scheduling an appointment, participating in mediation, or purchasing legal services.

You may opt in by checking an unchecked consent box on an online form or by otherwise expressly requesting that the firm communicate with you by text message.

By opting in, you confirm that you are the subscriber or customary user of the mobile number provided and authorize the firm to send recurring text messages to that number. The consent language displayed when you opt in is incorporated into these terms.

Message frequency varies depending on the nature and status of the matter. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier and service plan.

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to a text message. After the opt-out request is processed, you may receive a confirmation message and should not receive additional messages through that texting program unless you later provide new consent.

The firm will also honor other reasonable requests that clearly communicate that you no longer wish to receive text messages.

Opting out of text messages does not terminate an attorney-client relationship, cancel an appointment, or relieve anyone of responsibility for monitoring deadlines, court dates, email, postal mail, the client portal, or other communications.

Reply HELP for assistance or contact the firm at (813) 333-1660. 

Text messaging is offered as a convenience. Delivery may be delayed, unsuccessful, or affected by your mobile carrier, device, telephone number, or service availability.

Do not rely solely on text messages for emergencies, court appearances, filing or payment deadlines, urgent legal instructions, or other time-sensitive matters. You remain responsible for monitoring official court notices and the other communication methods used in your matter.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties.

The firm may use communications providers, including Vonage, to transmit messages, manage delivery, and administer opt-in, opt-out, and support functions on the firm’s behalf. Those providers may process mobile information only as reasonably necessary to perform those operational services.

The firm may suspend, modify, or discontinue text-message services at any time. Messages may also stop when consent is withdrawn, a matter is declined or concluded, representation ends, a telephone number changes, or further text communication is no longer appropriate.
