My Pledge of Service If you hire me, I pledge to: - Listen. An attorney who does not hear what his client truly wants may rule out opportunities for resolution without hefty legal costs. - Be responsive. I will return your calls on the same day, unless I am in court. Then I will do so by the next business day. - Be accessible. I know you have a busy schedule of your own, which is why I offer after-work and weekend appointments. - Help you make smart decisions. Family conflict is stressful, and often a party needs guidance to see the “big picture.” I will make sure you are fully informed of your rights before you make any decision. - Keep you informed. You will know of all developments in your case, and you will receive a detailed billing statement of all services I have provided on your behalf. - Bill you fairly. Legal services are expensive. Wouldn’t you like to know that you are paying only for time actually spent on your case? With me, you do.
As my client, YOU pledge to: - Be truthful and disclose all relevant information. Everybody has a skeleton in the closet that is a source of discomfort, but I cannot do my job effectively unless I know everything you know. - Help Your Case. I often ask you to assist me by gathering and providing information in a timely manner. This will not only save you money, but also will guarantee you have the best evidence available at any hearing. - Help Yourself. Divorce and custody disputes often leave people feeling emotionally rattled and financially strapped. I always want to lend a sympathetic ear, but I recognize I will never be as helpful to you as a counselor, accountant, or a financial planner as I am as your attorney. I help my clients get to the right professionals because I know if they do this, our relationship will be more positive and cost-effective. By agreeing to take steps to help yourself, you allow me to focus exclusively on the things that will help your case. - Keep me updated. Client-attorney contact can only
be as good as my ability to reach you. |
