Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 10, 2026  |  Last Updated: July 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Merna Law Group, P.C. (“MLG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information submitted through VirginiaHomesteadDeed.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and in our Disclosures and Terms of Use.

Who We Are

VirginiaHomesteadDeed.com is owned and operated by The Merna Law Group, P.C., a law firm licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with offices at 621 North Lynnhaven Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23452.

Information We Collect

When you use the Site, we may collect:

  • Contact information you provide, such as your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
  • Information about your garnishment or bank levy situation, including court and case information, judgment creditor, employer or bank information, and the property or assets you wish to exempt, as entered during the guided interview.
  • Payment information, which is collected and processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers.
  • Technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Communications you send us, including messages submitted through our contact form or live chat.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Prepare your Virginia Homestead Deed and related filing instructions based on the answers you provide.
  • Facilitate attorney review of your deed before delivery.
  • Process payment for the service you select.
  • Communicate with you about your order, including delivery of your completed documents.
  • Respond to questions submitted through our contact form, chat, or email.
  • Maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
  • Comply with applicable law and professional obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

Attorney Review and Confidentiality

A licensed Virginia attorney reviews the information you submit in connection with preparing your Homestead Deed. Submitting your order forms a limited attorney-client relationship solely for the deed review described in our Limited Engagement Agreement; it does not create a general attorney-client relationship or an engagement for broader legal representation. Communications within that limited scope are protected by attorney-client privilege to the extent recognized by law. Communications about any other matter are not privileged unless and until you sign a separate engagement agreement with MLG for that matter. Please do not use the Site to submit confidential, time-sensitive, or privileged information about any matter outside that limited scope.

AI-Assisted Tools

We may use artificial intelligence-assisted tools to help prepare drafts of documents, filing instructions, and related materials from the information you provide, and to support customer service functions such as chat. Any AI-assisted output is reviewed by a licensed Virginia attorney before your documents are delivered. See our AI Disclosure Policy for more information.

Cookies and Analytics

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the Site, including through analytics tools. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions.

Third-Party Service Providers

We share information with service providers who help us operate the Site and deliver our services, such as payment processing, website hosting and security, analytics, and live chat support. These providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are not permitted to use it for their own marketing purposes.

Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information you submit, including encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Your Rights and Choices

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal and professional recordkeeping obligations. To make a request, contact us using the information below.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 18.
