Privacy Practices

We respect your privacy.

We are committed to taking all possible precautions to protect your contact information, and all other information submitted through this website, over the telephone, or in person.

Your contact information will not be shared with anyone without your knowledge and permission. Your contact information will be used solely for the purpose of communicating with you at your request.

Our telephone number does not come up on your call display. We will not leave a message on your telephone unless you have given us permission to do so.

The only time we require your mailing address is if you request that material is sent to you or if you would like a charitable receipt for a donation.

You do not have to use your real name when you call us unless you need a Lawyer Referral.

We provide an anonymous, confidential service.
