Attorneys have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are much more stringent than those required by these new laws. Therefore please know that we have always protected your rights to privacy.

In the process of providing our clients with tax advice, we receive significant personal financial information from and about our clients. If you are a client of John P. Fitzgerald, Ltd., you should know that all the information we receive from you is held in the strictest confidence and is not released to people outside our firm, except as agreed by you or as required under an applicable law.

We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and in some cases to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.
