Privacy Policy

Overview

Sherota Law LLC ("Sherota Law," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website located at www.sherotalaw.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using this Site — including submitting a contact form or interacting with our AI Legal Assistant chatbot — you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

Contact Form Data

When you submit the contact form on our Site, we collect the following information:

• Full name — to address you personally in our response
• Email address — to send you a reply
• Phone number — to contact you for a consultation (optional)
• Case type — to route your inquiry to the appropriate practice area
• Message / case description — to understand your legal matter

This information is transmitted via Resend (our email delivery provider) directly to Attorney Brent Sherota at [email protected]. We do not store contact form submissions in a database on our servers.

AI Legal Assistant (Chatbot)

Our Site features an AI-powered Legal Assistant chatbot designed to answer general questions about Georgia law and Sherota Law's practice areas. Please be aware of the following:

• Messages are processed in real time by a third-party large language model (LLM) service to generate responses. Your conversation messages are sent to this service for processing.
• Conversation history is not stored on our servers after your session ends. Each chat session is independent.
• Do not share sensitive personal information — such as your Social Security number, financial account details, or detailed facts about pending criminal charges — in the chatbot.
• Chatbot responses are not legal advice and do not create an attorney-client relationship. The chatbot is for general informational purposes only.

The AI service processes your messages solely to generate a response and is contractually prohibited from using your data to train its models without consent.
