Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality
Communications with our firm may be protected under Colorado’s attorney-client privilege laws.
Attorney-client privilege generally protects confidential communications between a client and an attorney made for the purpose of seeking or providing legal advice. This protection exists so that clients may speak openly and honestly with their attorneys.
When Privilege Begins
In Colorado, attorney-client privilege may attach when you consult with an attorney for legal advice, even before formal representation begins. However:
- Submitting information through our website does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship.
- An attorney-client relationship is formed only after both you and Pav Law agree to representation.
Until representation is formally established, we recommend avoiding submission of highly sensitive or confidential information through unsecured channels.
Exceptions
Attorney-client privilege does not protect communications made for the purpose of committing a future crime or fraud. Other limited exceptions may apply under Colorado law.
Outside of those narrow exceptions, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your information.
No Guarantee of Results
Communications with Pav Law are confidential as permitted by law. However, nothing on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee of case outcome. Ethical rules governing attorneys in Colorado prohibit us from promising specific results.
Each matter is evaluated individually based on its facts and applicable law.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to outside parties except in the following circumstances:
With Your Consent
We may share information if you authorize us to do so.
For Legal or Ethical Compliance
We may disclose information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or applicable professional conduct rules.
Service Providers
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website or business. These providers are required to maintain confidentiality and use the information only for authorized purposes.

If you opt into SMS communications with Pav Law:
- We will not share your SMS opt-in status with third parties for unrelated purposes.
- We do not sell or share phone numbers for marketing purposes.
- SMS communication is used only for direct, one-on-one communication regarding your inquiry or case.
You may unsubscribe at any time by texting STOP to (719) 888-7888.
Data Security
Pav Law implements reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
While we take security seriously, no online transmission method is completely secure. We encourage clients to discuss secure communication options if sensitive information must be transmitted.
