Privacy Policy & Disclaimers

Privacy policy

This policy describes how Rose Federal Employment Law, a practice of DC Consumer Law Group, PLLC ("we," "us"), handles information collected through this website. Rose Federal Employment Law, a practice of DC Consumer Law Group, PLLC, is the entity responsible for the information you submit here. The policy is written to match how the site actually works, and we will update it if the site changes.

What we collect, and how

Contact form. If you submit our case evaluation form, we receive the information you enter: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and your summary of your situation. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which analyzes technical signals from your browser to distinguish people from bots; we do not receive those signals, only a pass/fail result.

Technical data. This site is served by Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and secure the site, as any host does. Our contact form endpoint also uses your IP address transiently for rate limiting; we do not store it. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused tool that does not use cookies, does not fingerprint devices, and does not track you across sites. This site sets no marketing or advertising cookies.

Where form submissions go

Form submissions are delivered to us as email, addressed to our intake mailbox. Delivery is handled by Cloudflare (or a transactional email provider acting on our instructions), which processes the message content in order to deliver it. Your submission is not stored in a database by this website; the email itself is the record.

How we use and retain it

We use contact form submissions for one purpose: evaluating whether we can help you, which includes running a conflict check. Intake emails are retained in our email system for one year and then deleted, unless you become a client (in which case your information is handled under our engagement agreement and professional responsibilities) or we are required to preserve it.

We do not sell personal information, share it with third parties for marketing, or use it for advertising. Ever.

Your choices

You can contact us without the form, by phone at (202) 521-4865 or email at [email protected]. To ask what we hold about you or to request deletion of an inquiry that did not lead to representation, email us at [email protected].

Third-party services

• Cloudflare: hosting, content delivery, Turnstile bot protection, Web Analytics, and email routing. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for how it processes data as a service provider.
• Resend: transactional email delivery for contact form submissions. A submission is sent through Resend to our intake address; see Resend's privacy policy for how it processes data as a service provider.

Disclaimers

Attorney advertising. This website is attorney advertising. It is provided for general information only and is not legal advice about any individual situation.

No attorney-client relationship. Using this website, including submitting the contact form, does not create an attorney-client relationship with Rose Federal Employment Law. An attorney-client relationship is formed only by a signed engagement agreement, after a conflict check. Until then, do not send us confidential or privileged information.

Deadlines. Contacting us does not stop or extend any filing deadline. Federal-sector deadlines, including the 45-day EEO counselor contact window and the 30-day MSPB appeal window, continue to run until a filing is actually made.

Prior results. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts and law.

Jurisdictions. Our attorneys are admitted in the District of Columbia and Maryland; admissions vary by attorney and are listed on the attorneys page. Practice before federal agencies, the EEOC, and the MSPB is federal administrative practice that does not depend on admission in any particular state; where a matter requires court admission we appear only where admitted or by permission of the court.

Responsible attorney. Joshua N. Rose is responsible for the content of this website.
