Communicating with your attorney it is critically important. Your attorney must know everything you know about the case in order to effectively represent you.

Provide your attorney with a complete list of ways in which he or she can get in touch with you. That would include your home address and phone number and addresses and phone numbers of anybody who would know where you were at any given time. It is sometimes important for us to get in touch with you in a very short period of time. Therefore, we need as much contact information as possible. We would also need to know how to get in touch with you when you are at work.

If during the course of our representation, any of your addresses change or you change jobs, please let your attorney know your new address and phone numbers immediately.

Most of the attorneys in this office arrive at work around 8:00 a.m. in the morning. However, you need to know that most are trying to gather their files and other materials in preparation for court. Most leave for court or begin their office interviews by 8:30 a.m. every morning. If you need to speak to your attorney, usually you have a better chance finding them available in the afternoon, usually between 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Each attorney has voice mail that is protected by passwords. Only your attorney will hear your voice mail message. While you should not leave sensitive information on an attorney's voice mail, feel free to leave your attorney messages that you feel are appropriate. Attorneys check their voice mail daily.

Your personal involvement is critical to the successful resolution of your case. Please help us work toward a good resolution in your case. Keep in touch with your lawyer. Please schedule and attend all office appointments with your attorney. Let him or her know how to get in touch with you. Leave us current phone numbers, both yours and a family member's. Let us know where you are living. Often we will communicate with you by letter and may have a need to contact you on extremely short notice.
