What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
Educating yourself is a great idea to better understand the process, the challenges, as well as the strengths and the weaknesses of your case. However, in many cases it should not be a substitute of legal representation.
Are your attorneys willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes.
Are your attorneys willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
Yes.
Are your attorneys willing to help a client with one discrete part of a case, without taking on the whole case?
Yes.
What are your policies about dividing work among the firm's partners, associates, and paralegals to make the process most cost-effective for the client?
Attorney does the vast majority of work with limited administrative support for secretarial task.
How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?
We always explore the possibility of mediation or any other early, amicable resolution, unless the opposing side (the employer, the insurance company, etc.) is being completely unreasonable, and they send a message that any such collaborative process will not be productive.
