What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
Many of our clients handle legal matters on their own, until they recognize a need for experienced help. Many clients understand their own limitations and look to use our services to save their time and to ensure it is done right.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
I am always willing to review documents prepared by my clients, and sometimes all they require are some changes or thoughts on how to finalize documents so that it provides for what they want to occur.

I do that on an ongoing basis with clients, especially business clients who want to use the magisterial process to collect debts.
