Privacy Policy and Terms

Germani Law ("we," "us," or "our") provides legal services in California, focused primarily on landlord-tenant and residential tenancy matters. We do not practice federal law. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information for California residents who visit our website, contact our office, or become clients.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information you give us directly, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, and details about your legal matter, including through intake forms, phone calls, emails, and text messages.

How We Use Your Information

We collect and use your information for one purpose: to represent you and advance your legal matter. This includes communicating with you, preparing your case, scheduling appointments and hearings, handling billing, and meeting our professional obligations as attorneys.

What We Do Not Do

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles. We only share information outside our office when necessary to handle your case, such as with courts, opposing counsel, process servers, or expert witnesses, and any vendor supporting our practice is bound to keep your information confidential.

Consent to Receive Text Messages

If you provide your mobile number and consent to receive texts, we use that number only to send appointment reminders, case updates, and other communications about your matter. Your phone number and SMS consent will never be sold, shared, or used for marketing. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, or HELP for assistance.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of electronic communication or storage is completely secure. Please use discretion when sending sensitive information about your case by email or text.

Your Rights and Choices

As a California resident, you may ask us what personal information we have about you and request that we delete or correct it, subject to our obligations to retain certain records as attorneys. Because we never sell or share your information, there is no sale or sharing to opt out of.
