Communicating With Attorneys – How Do I Do It?

Communicating with attorneys can be like catching a unicorn – we know that!  There are always emails to answer, court dates to attend, legal research to conduct, documents to draft, phone calls to return, meetings to go to, even lunches to eat (sometimes).

So what is your best bet for reaching someone who can be here, there, or everywhere?

For our office, we recommend one of two ways; either by email or calling our office to schedule a phone conversation time.  Every attorney in our firm sets aside time each day to review, answer, and send emails and return client phone calls, whereas it can be far more difficult to randomly call in hoping to speak with me or one of our other attorneys.

Our legal assistant will do her best to field basic questions for you, but always remember that she is NOT an attorney and can therefore not provide legal advice.  Send us an email, though, and it will give us the opportunity to conduct a little research for you, consult with other attorneys, or refer to your file so that we can answer your questions to the best of our ability.

We recommend, too, your compiling your questions into single, dense emails rather than filling our inboxes with hundreds of single questions (keep in mind that each attorney can be working with upwards of forty clients at any one time – forty clients times twenty emails a day each is 800 emails a day!).  It streamlines the process and lets us answer all of your questions at once.

By following these little pieces of advice we can quickly and efficiently handle your case and move it through as quickly as possible.
