Protective Orders
If you have received material labeled CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY, or otherwise in one of the cases below, read and understand the Protective Order from that case first, and sign the Agreement to be Bound if you are not a Party to the case, sending it to an attorney for a Party, or to legal@herzlaw.com.
Report lost or improperly disclosed material by contacting Herz Law, 214-745-4567, legal@herzlaw.com, to make a report immediately.
If you are uncertain of your obligations under the Protective Order, you may speak to an attorney at Herz Law, or you may retain your own attorney. We are not your attorney in that connection should you speak with us: we are acting as an officer of the Court in ensuring compliance with the Order.
Herz Law represents clients in some cases in which the Court has entered a Confidential Discovery Protective Order. These Orders are designed to add safeguards to the exchange of confidential and sensitive material in discovery, without that material being disclosed to unauthorized persons.
These Protective Orders govern the Parties to the suit, including Herz Law's clients, and in most cases, the Parties are required to educate potential recipients of discovery material of the existence of the relevant Protective Order in their case, and obtain a signed Agreement to be Bound before that person can handle material, assuming the Order allows that person to handle that material, based on how it has been designated (labeled).
