GARVIN AGEE CARLTON, P.C.
WEBSITE TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY
LAST UPDATED NOVEMBER 10, 2026
SCOPE AND ACCEPTANCE
This document governs use of www.gaclawyers.com (the “Website”), operated by Garvin Agee Carlton, P.C. (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information through the Website and related online inquiries. Please read it before using the Website or submitting information. If you do not agree to the Website terms, do not use the Website. The privacy disclosures describe our practices; merely using the Website does not constitute consent to processing that requires separate consent. An engagement agreement governs any legal services we agree to provide. Separate notices may apply to client portals or other services and will be identified where applicable.
INFORMATION ONLY; NO LEGAL ADVICE
The Website provides general information about the Firm and legal topics. Its content is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney about your circumstances. Laws and their application vary by jurisdiction and may change. Website materials may not reflect the most recent legal developments. Do not act or refrain from acting based solely on Website content.
CONSULTATION REQUESTS AND ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS
Submitting a request for a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. Using the Website, sending an inquiry or documents, receiving an automated acknowledgment, nor scheduling a consultation, by itself, means that the Firm has agreed to represent you.
Before accepting a matter, we must evaluate it, complete any required conflicts review, and agree with you on the scope and terms of representation. Our usual practice is to confirm an engagement in a written agreement. Unless and until we have agreed to represent you, do not assume that we are acting as your attorneys or taking any action on your behalf. Nothing in these terms overrides an attorney-client relationship or duties that arise under applicable law.
INITIAL INQUIRIES AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION
For an initial inquiry, provide only your contact information, the names needed for a conflicts review, and a brief, general description of the assistance you seek. Do not submit confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information, or upload substantive documents, unless we have requested them through an appropriate channel. This includes Social Security numbers and financial account details.
Website forms and ordinary email may not be secure. Sending information does not, by itself, establish attorney-client privilege. Information provided by a prospective client may nevertheless be protected under applicable law and professional-conduct rules.
These terms do not waive or diminish any duties the Firm owes to prospective or existing clients.
NO DEADLINE PROTECTION OR GUARANTEED RESPONSE
Submitting an inquiry does not require the Firm to accept your matter or respond within a particular period. Unless we have agreed to represent you, we are not responsible for monitoring or meeting filing deadlines, limitations periods, hearing dates, or other requirements in your matter. Do not use the Website for emergencies or time-sensitive legal requests. Seek other counsel promptly if a deadline may be approaching. Existing clients should use their agreed communication channels for urgent matters.
JURISDICTIONS, ADVERTISING, AND RESULTS
The Website is not an offer to provide legal services in a jurisdiction where doing so would violate applicable law or professional rules. An attorney’s ability to assist you depends on applicable licensing and practice requirements. Descriptions of experience, testimonials, and past results, if displayed, do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in another matter. Each matter depends on its own facts and law. Website content may constitute attorney advertising in some jurisdictions.
Attorney responsible for Website content: Brett Agee.
PERMITTED USE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
You may access the Website and download or print reasonable portions for personal, noncommercial informational use, provided that you preserve copyright and attribution notices. Except as permitted by law or with the rights holder’s written permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, sell, or modify Website content for commercial purposes. Website content is owned by the Firm or its licensors; third-party marks remain the property of their owners.
Do not use the Website unlawfully, impersonate another person, submit fraudulent or malicious material, interfere with Website operations, attempt unauthorized access, or collect personal information from the Website without authorization.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
The Website may link to third-party websites or services for convenience. We do not control their content, security, or privacy practices, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of a third-party service is subject to its own applicable terms and policies. Review third-party privacy notices before providing information. For information collected on our Website through embedded third-party tools, see the collection and disclosure provisions below.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
When you contact us or request a consultation, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, preferred contact method, names needed for a conflicts review, and a general description of your inquiry. We also collect the content of your communications and any documents you submit.
INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
When you visit the Website, our website hosting provider automatically collects certain technical information on our behalf, such as your IP address, device and browser details, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location inferred from your IP address, and visit timestamps. We use this information to operate, secure, and improve the Website.
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the Website to function and to understand how visitors use it. We do not use advertising pixels or cross-site tracking technologies on the Website, and we do not use tracking technologies on our consultation request forms.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use inquiry information to respond to requests, evaluate whether we can assist, conduct conflicts reviews, schedule consultations, and communicate with you. We also use information as necessary to operate and secure the Website, prevent misuse, maintain records, and meet legal and professional obligations.
HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION
We disclose information to authorized Firm personnel and to service providers as reasonably needed to support the Website and our intake and communications processes.
We may also disclose information when required by law or valid legal process, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law and our professional obligations, including to protect the security of our systems or address fraud. Any disclosure of prospective-client or client information remains subject to applicable confidentiality duties.
We do not sell personal information collected through the Website, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising or use it for targeted advertising. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
TEXT MESSAGING AND EMAIL
If you choose to communicate by text, we use your mobile number, message content, and consent and preference records to communicate with you and manage the texting program. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
Messaging providers may process mobile information solely to provide services on our behalf, subject to appropriate restrictions. Additional texting details are set out in the Text Messaging Terms section below.
Submitting a consultation request or using the Website does not, by itself, constitute consent to promotional texts or emails. You may ask us to stop optional marketing emails using the unsubscribe instructions in those emails, if offered, or by contacting us. For texting preferences, use the methods described in the finalized texting policy. Opting out of marketing does not necessarily stop nonmarketing communications about an inquiry or an existing engagement.
TEXT MESSAGING TERMS

By opting into this service you can expect to receive responses to your inquiries, consultation and appointment confirmations and reminders, document requests and reminders, billing notices, and updates about your matter from Garvin Agee Carlton, P.C.

We do not share consumer opt in consent with any 3rd parties. Mobile data consent will not be shared with any 3rd parties through this SMS channel.
YOUR CHOICES AND PRIVACY REQUESTS
You may choose not to submit optional information, although this may limit our ability to respond. You can manage certain cookies through browser settings; disabling them may affect Website functions. Because we do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising, the Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. Submit requests by calling us at 405-238-1000 or by writing to us at either office address listed below. We will verify requests as appropriate and respond as required by applicable law. Some information may be retained or withheld to comply with legal and ethical obligations, protect privileged information, or preserve legal claims. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
RETENTION AND SECURITY
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account the nature of the information, whether an engagement results, applicable legal and professional recordkeeping obligations, and the need to resolve disputes or honor communication preferences. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. See the initial-inquiry provisions above for precautions when sending sensitive information.
WEBSITE AVAILABILITY AND LIMITATIONS
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its general informational content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or freedom from harmful components. We may correct, update, restrict, or discontinue Website features.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Firm is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising solely from use of, or inability to access, the Website. Nothing in these terms limits liability for legal malpractice, fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, breach of professional duties, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. These terms do not prospectively limit liability for legal services.
GOVERNING LAW AND OTHER TERMS
Subject to mandatory applicable law, these terms are governed by the laws of Oklahoma, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing in these terms restricts a person’s right to submit a complaint to a disciplinary authority or exercise rights that cannot lawfully be waived. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent permitted by law.

TEXT MESSAGING PRIVACY POLICY
LAST UPDATED NOVEMBER 10, 2026
SCOPE
This policy explains how Garvin Agee Carlton, P.C. (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information in connection with our text messaging program. It applies to individuals who communicate with us by text or agree to receive our text messages. It does not replace our professional duties of confidentiality or the terms of an engagement agreement.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect the mobile telephone number and other contact details you provide, your text messages and any attachments, and information you share about your inquiry or legal matter. We also maintain records of your preferences, and opt-out requests. Our messaging providers may process delivery status, timestamps, and related technical information needed to operate the service.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use this information to respond to inquiries, coordinate intake and appointments, communicate about legal services and matters, send reminders and administrative updates, maintain communication records, honor messaging preferences, protect our systems, and meet legal and professional obligations. This texting program does not send advertising or promotional messages.
MESSAGING CHOICES
You may opt out of our texting program by replying STOP. You may receive a final message confirming your opt-out. To obtain help, reply HELP or contact us at 405-238-1000. You may also contact us to arrange another method of communication. Opting out of texts does not end an attorney-client relationship or eliminate obligations under an engagement agreement.
SHARING OF MOBILE INFORMATION
We do not sell or rent your mobile number or text message content. We do not share mobile information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
We may provide information to service providers that operate our messaging, communications, hosting, or practice-management systems, solely as needed to provide services on our behalf and subject to appropriate confidentiality and use restrictions. We may disclose information when required by law or valid legal process, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law and our professional obligations. These disclosures do not authorize recipients to use your mobile information for their own marketing.
SECURITY AND SENSITIVE INFORMATION
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No communication or storage method is completely secure. Texts may be visible to anyone with access to your device or telephone account. Avoid sending highly sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or confidential documents, by text. Contact us to arrange a more secure communication method. Texting us does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship.
RETENTION AND REQUESTS
We retain messaging information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including maintaining client files, documenting opt-out preferences, and meeting legal, ethical, and recordkeeping obligations. Retention periods vary with the type of information and the applicable obligations.
Contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your messaging information. We will consider requests under applicable law and our professional obligations. Some records may need to be retained, including limited information needed to honor an opt-out request.
CHANGES
