I listen to you and/or your team, understand the facts and identify the issues. We work together to develop meaningful, cost-effective solutions. I will tell you, in advance, what the legal services will cost, so that you can decide if the expense is worth it. I offer a variety of flexible legal billing options that will suit your needs without incurring unnecessary overhead costs. I will ensure that the value and cost of your legal service is commensurate with the legal issue involved.
Legal disputes are problems that need to be solved. But they do not have to mean war. I look for mutually beneficial options that resolve disputes quickly and cost-efficiently.
I have over 20 years corporate and business law experience. As a former Fortune 500 COO, I understand business.
I am a Vanderbilt law graduate with a BBA from UT Austin who is licensed in Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. I teach Business Law and Business Ethics at the university level, have written a number of books on law school and law practice, and am a member of MENSA.

Categories of Information We May Collect
In order to help us better understand you so that we can give you an excellent customer experience, we collect information that identifies you or that we can associate with you (your “personal information”) as well as information that does not identify you (e.g., anonymous, deidentified, or aggregated data). We may also collect various categories of information directly (from you), or indirectly (from others), as more fully described below. The categories of personal information (including sensitive personal information) that we or our service providers collect (or have collected during the preceding 12 months) may include the following:
How Information About You Is Collected
When you interact with us, we may collect information about you directly. Examples of direct interaction with us include when you visit our websites, shop in our stores, communicate with our customer service representatives, attend our events, use our mobile applications, participate in our marketing efforts (including contests, sweepstakes and virtual events), participate in our customer loyalty programs, or any other way you interact directly with us. When we collect information about you directly, we may ask you to affirmatively furnish the information to us (such as when we ask you for your telephone number), or we may collect the information from your electronic device (such as when you download and use our mobile applications or visit our websites) or by observing your activity (such as when you visit our stores). We and some of our service providers, contractors and advertising networks collect identifiers matched to your mobile or other devices, which can be used to deliver customized ads or content via the Internet, across different devices or browsers (sometimes called “cross-device tracking”). In some cases, we may engage service providers to help us operate our business, and they may collect data on our behalf in the course of the services they provide to us. In other cases, where permitted by applicable law, third parties may obtain information about you independently, and we may acquire that data (for example, by purchasing the data).
The following list describes the sources from which we or our service providers may collect various categories of personal information directly (from consumers like you) or indirectly (from third parties):
Why Your Information Is Collected, Used, and Shared
We use the personal information we collect directly and indirectly to conduct our business, to communicate with you, and to provide better services, and experiences, to analyze and improve our website; (9) to market our products and services to you, including by sending you marketing communications and other information regarding our services and to improve our marketing efforts; to keep records of transactions; to comply with our contractual obligations; to detect and address actual or potential fraud; to establish and maintain data back-ups for our business continuity and disaster recovery; and to comply with various legal obligations or other rules to which we are subject. The following list describes in detail the purposes for which we and our service providers collect and use each category of personal information (each number corresponds to a specific purpose above):
Data Retention
We retain each category of personal information about consumers for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected and used, but not longer. In determining the period of time consumer personal information will be retained, we consider the frequency with which our consumers purchase from us, our consumer’s experience, the utility of the information to our legal and contractual record retention requirements, and other factors. We do not retain any category of personal information for more than six years following our last interaction with a consumer, unless required by law.
Children’s Privacy
We do not intend to collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16 you should not provide any personal information to us. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 16 and suspect they have provided personal information to us, you may contact us using one of the Communication Methods described in this Privacy Statement to notify us so that we may delete the information. We do not knowingly share or sell the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
Your Options Regarding Personal Information
We have established processes by which you or an authorized agent can submit requests regarding your personal information. To exercise your options as described in this Privacy Statement, you may contact us by using the contact form in this website. You may also use it to opt out of communications.
How Your Identity Will Be Verified
For your privacy and security, and to prevent fraud and other harmful activities, when we receive a request through one of the Communication Methods, we may need to ensure that the person submitting the request is the person they purport to be. Accordingly, we may take reasonable measures to verify the identity of the person submitting the request, as further described in our privacy request web portal. If we ask you to verify your identity, you must promptly cooperate with our efforts so that we can fulfill your request.
Requests from Authorized Agents
If you submit a consumer privacy request on behalf of another person, you must verify your legal authority to act on behalf of that person, and your identity and the identity of the other person, to our satisfaction before we can fulfill your request.
How You Can Opt Out of Online Advertising or Other Promotional Communications
In addition to the options described above, you can take other steps to limit the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. You can manage how your device, mobile browser and other devices share information with our websites and mobile apps, as well as how your browser handles cookies and other tracking technologies, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your device. Please refer to instructions provided by your service provider or the manufacturer of your device to learn how to adjust your settings. Our websites currently do not have a mechanism to recognize an Internet browser’s “Do Not Track” signals, and we cannot follow those signals. Several of the companies that utilize cookies or other tracking or monitoring mechanisms enable you to opt out of advertising through mechanisms established by trade groups. If you wish to reduce this type of third-party, interest-based advertising, you may opt out of advertising from members of the National Advertising Initiative here, and from members of the Digital Advertising Alliance here (for US) or here (for Canada). Please note the links in the prior sentence will not opt you out of receiving all marketing communications from us. There are other ways in which you can tell us whether or not you want to receive promotional communications from us. When you set-up an account or log into your account on our websites or mobile applications, you may have an opportunity to make or change your selections with respect to each brand. You also will have an opportunity to opt-out of advertising email messages from us by clicking on an "unsubscribe" hyperlink contained in commercial e-mails those brands send you. If you receive a text message (SMS or MMS) from one of our brands and would like to opt out of receiving further text messages, you may do so by following the opt-out instructions within the text message.
Changes to This Privacy Statement
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to revise, change or modify this Privacy Statement at any time. We will post any changes to this Privacy Statement on our websites and they will be effective as of the date of posting. We encourage you to visit this page periodically to review this information. By engaging with us, including by visiting our website(s) or mobile application(s), after this Privacy Statement has been updated, you agree to the updated terms of this Privacy Statement.
