CLIENT COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES

Our desire is to provide the best possible client service that meets our clients’ needs while responding to their concerns in a timely manner. In order to do so, we use the following methods to communicate directly with clients: telephone, voicemail, mail, and email. In order to maintain attorney-client confidentiality and be as efficient as possible, we do not communicate with clients via text messages or social media.

  1. Phone Calls and Emails

We would love to be available to personally receive every client call. However, to maintain a functional and efficient practice, most activities are scheduled ahead of time to ensure that they have our full attention. This includes phone calls with clients.

If you need to speak with us regarding a legal matter, we recommend that you schedule a phone or zoom meeting. This avoids the time that is wasted by playing phone tag and means that you will get our undivided attention (and not just a quick second between meetings). Scheduled calls will take precedence over returning messages and voicemails.

We generally respond to emails and voicemails within 72 business hours (usually sooner) unless your inquiry requires additional legal research. We request 72 business hours for copies of any planning documents and up to two weeks for any updates or revisions to your plan. All emails and voicemails received outside business hours or on holidays will be responded to during regular business hours.
