advise on personal financial matters, are now required by
US and EU law to inform their clients of their policies
regarding privacy of client information. 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.

with tax advice, we receive significant personal financial
information from and about our clients. If you are a client
of the Fitzgerald Law Group, P.C. 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 non public personal information, we maintain physical,
electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our
professional standards.
