You may be accessing this Site from a computer or mobile device (for example through a mobile phone, iPhone, iPad, or other electronic mobile device) and this Privacy Policy governs your use of this Site regardless of the means of access. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to us in the course of our attorney-client relationships or protected by confidentiality, the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work product doctrine or any other applicable protection.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
DO NOT TRACK – California Business & Professions Code section 22575(b) (as amended) provides that California residents are entitled to know how a website operator responds to “Do Not Track”(DNT) browser settings. Some browsers or other tools include DNT features which, when turned on, send a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked across websites over time. The Worldwide Web Consortium has been working with industry groups and regulators to develop a DNT browser technology standard to provide a standard for interpreting the DNT signals, but to date no final standard has been adopted. Palmieri Tyler does not currently take actions to respond to DNT signals. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a DNT standard once one is created. For more information about DNT, please visit: www.allaboutdnt.org.
