Effective Date: 8/27/2026

The Law Offices of David R. Schneider, APC (“we,” “our,” or “the firm”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website at www.drs-law.com, how we use and protect that information, and the choices available to you. It also describes how we handle information belonging to clients of the firm.

This policy applies to information collected through our website and through your communications with us. By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

Information You Provide to Us

You may choose to provide information to us directly, including when you:

Submit our contact form, which asks for your name, phone number, email address, and a message describing how we can help
Sign up for our email newsletter, which asks for your name and email address
Call our office, send us an email, or otherwise communicate with us

You are never required to provide personal information to browse our website. Information submitted through our forms is used to respond to your inquiry or to send you the newsletter you requested, and for no other purpose.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, our web server automatically receives standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. In addition, we use Burst Statistics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that runs on our own server. Burst helps us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our website, for example which pages are most read. The information Burst collects stays on our server, is not shared with third parties, and is not used to track you across other websites.

Cookies and Your Consent Choices

Our website uses a consent banner that appears on your first visit. Until you make a choice, our website does not load third-party analytics, advertising, or embedded video services. You may accept or decline these services, and both options are presented equally. Your choice is remembered for future visits, and you can change it at any time using the “Manage Consent” option available on our website.

The consent banner organizes cookies and similar technologies into categories:

Functional: Cookies necessary for the website to function, such as the cookie that remembers your consent choice itself
Statistics: Google Analytics, which we use to understand website usage. These services load only if you consent.
Marketing: Google advertising services and embedded YouTube videos. These services load only if you consent.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it automatically. Visitors with these signals enabled are treated as having declined optional cookies and will not see the consent banner.

Analytics and Advertising

If you consent to statistics cookies, we use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. If you consent to marketing cookies, Google advertising services may measure whether our advertising led you to our website and may use information about your visit for advertising purposes. These Google services are governed by Google’s own privacy policy.

If you decline, these services do not load, no advertising or analytics identifiers are created, and no information about your visit is sent to Google for these purposes.

Embedded Content and Other Third-Party Services

Some features of our website involve services provided by third parties:

Embedded videos: Videos on our website are embedded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode and are shown as click-to-play previews. No video content loads from YouTube until you consent to marketing cookies or click to enable a video. Preview images are loaded from YouTube’s image servers.
Form protection: Pages containing forms use Google reCAPTCHA to protect against spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA loads only on pages that contain a form and is subject to Google’s privacy policy.
Email newsletter: Our newsletter is delivered through Constant Contact, which processes your name and email address on our behalf as a service provider.
Accessibility: Our website offers an accessibility widget provided by accessiBe to support visitors who use assistive technologies.
Reviews display: Our website displays Google reviews of the firm. The images accompanying these reviews are loaded from Google’s content servers.

How We Use Information

We use the information described in this policy to respond to your inquiries, provide legal services you request, send newsletters you have signed up for, understand and improve how our website is used, protect our website from spam and abuse, and, where you have consented, measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information with third parties for their own advertising purposes. We share information only with service providers who help us operate our website and communications (such as our website hosting provider and our email newsletter provider), with parties involved in providing legal services you have requested, or where disclosure is required by law.

Client Information and Professional Confidentiality

If you become a client of the firm, information you provide to us in the course of the attorney-client relationship, including information about your personal finances and property, is protected by the attorney-client privilege and by our professional obligations of confidentiality under the rules that govern our profession.

We disclose client information only to individuals or entities necessary to provide the legal services you have requested. For example, our staff may access your information in order to provide those services efficiently, and in some situations we may communicate with another professional you work with, such as your accountant, realtor, or insurance company, in order to assist in providing the legal services you have requested. If you do not want us to make a particular disclosure in the course of providing legal services, you may direct us not to make it by calling our office.

We retain records and files relating to the professional services you have asked us to provide, and we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect them.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information in a manner consistent with our professional obligations. We retain website inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain our records, and we retain client files in accordance with our professional and legal obligations.

As a CPA, I rely on David as my go-to expert for complex trust and estate matters. His deep knowledge and long experience in identifying, structuring, and optimizing tax strategies make him an invaluable resource to my practice. Whenever I have a client with a trust issue or estate planning question, he is the first person I consult before advising the client. David is consistently accurate, thoughtful, and the safest and most reliable source for this area of work.

David prepared a comprehensive estate plan for my wife and I. His work was professional and he made what can be a very challenging activity relatively easy. David takes the time to be sure every point he makes is clear, and is always willing to answer questions when needed. I would certainly recommend his services for anyone needing his help.

Exceptional Estate Planning Experience with DRS Law We had an outstanding experience working with DRS Law and David Schneider (David) on our estate planning. From the very beginning, David took the time to educate us on what an estate is and explained all the associated terminology in a way that was easy to understand. His thorough approach made us feel both comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. After preparing our estate, he carefully reviewed it with us page by page, ensuring that all our questions were answered. His patience, professionalism, and dedication to making sure we fully understood everything were truly impressive. If you are considering estate planning, we highly recommend DRS Law. David and his team provide exceptional service, making what can feel like a complicated process smooth and stress-free. We are grateful for their guidance and expertise!
