Introduction
Michael Gunzburg, P.C. respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how the firm collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit gunzburglaw.com, call the office, or contact the firm in any other way.
By using this website or contacting the firm, you agree to the practices described below. Questions about this policy can be directed to the firm using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
Information the Firm Collects
Contact Information
When you reach out by phone, email, the website contact form, or a chat feature, the firm collects the information you choose to share. This may include:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Details about your accident, injury, or legal matter
- Any documents or messages you send
Information Collected Through Julie, the Firm's AI Intake Assistant
Outside regular business hours and on weekends, calls to (212) 725-8500 may be answered by Julie, a digital intake assistant. Julie asks for the same type of information a receptionist would gather: your name, contact details, and a general description of your legal matter. This information is passed to staff for follow-up within the firm's 24-hour callback window. Calls handled by Julie may be recorded or transcribed to support accurate intake.
Website Usage and Cookies
The website uses cookies and analytics tools, including Google Analytics and Google Search Console, to understand how visitors use the site and which pages are most useful. This data is aggregated and does not identify you by name. Browser settings can be adjusted to limit or block cookies, though some site features may not work properly as a result.
SMS/Text Messaging Program
If you opt in to receive text messages from the firm, the following terms apply:
- Opt-In: You may opt in by providing your phone number through the contact form, over the phone, or by giving verbal consent during a call with the office or with Julie.
- Purpose: Text messages are used to respond to inquiries, share updates on your legal matter, confirm appointments, and send other service-related communications.
- Message Frequency: Frequency varies based on your interaction with the firm.
- Opt-Out: Reply "STOP" to any text message to opt out at any time.
- Rates: Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier.

The information you provide is used to:
- Respond to questions and requests for a free consultation
- Evaluate a potential personal injury or medical malpractice case

The firm does not send marketing newsletters, sell personal data, or use your information to serve targeted advertising off this website.
Information Sharing

Attorney-Client Privilege and Professional Confidentiality
Michael Gunzburg is admitted to practice law in New York. He follows the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, including the duty of confidentiality owed to clients. Once an attorney-client relationship is formed, your communications are protected by attorney-client privilege. Submitting a contact form or calling the office does not, by itself, create that relationship. See the firm's disclaimer for more on this distinction.
Data Security
The firm takes reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These steps follow New York's data security requirements under the SHIELD Act. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. The firm cannot guarantee absolute security for information sent electronically.
Information Retention
Contact and intake information is kept only as long as needed to respond to an inquiry or provide legal services. Client files are retained according to the recordkeeping requirements that apply to New York attorneys.
Your Choices
You may:
- Ask what personal information the firm holds about you
