What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I believe that the best client is a well-educated client.
Are your attorneys willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes, however, I also routinely advise clients as to the prudence of using documents that they have prepared themselves.
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?
I do all the work myself, unless an outside investigator is hired.
How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?
I believe that alternative dispute resolution is often the best forum for matter resolution.
Does your firm provide pro bono legal services or otherwise participate in your community?
I provide over the Vermont Bar Association’s recommended annual pro bono services amount of fifty hours.
What distinguishes your law firm from others?
I do not charge mandatory minimums, bill to the minute, and respond to client inquiries rapidly.
