The safety of children is very important to us. Our Sites are not intended for children younger than 13 and we do not intend to collect personally identifiable information from children. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. However, there are limited situations in which children may seek legal advice and provide information to the Firm in which identifiable information may be provided and not released to anyone, including a parent or legal guardian. These situations include, but are not limited to circumstances where a child is entitled to legal counsel independent of their parent or guardian, such as emancipation proceedings or criminal proceedings against the child.
