An Effective Way to Work with an Attorney
One of the most cost effective ways to communicate with your attorney is via email. This method can be much more affordable than phone calls or scheduling an appointment.
Why?
A phone call or appointment may take more of the attorney’s time as a conversation could develop on a topic that was not in line with your original list of questions or concerns. This time is not necessarily wasted as you or your attorney may find out information that assists in your representation; however, if your goal was to find out an answer to a specific question, you may not view this additional time as cost effective.
Some people shy away from using email because they believe it is easier just to meet or talk over the phone. The reality is that composing an email makes you compose your thoughts. Being organized and focused in your time with an attorney means that you will receive more for your dollar. Emails also have the added benefit of giving you a response that you can refer to on more than one occasion. If you are not sure exactly what was said, you can always pull the email back up and review the answer again.
Email is not always the best way to communicate; however we encourage clients to use that as one of their first methods of contact with the attorney. If you are not sure, let the attorney decide if it is best for you to speak about the issue or if email correspondence will suffice. Likewise, if you do not feel comfortable memorializing certain things in an email to the attorney, call the office and schedule an appointment. The most cost effective way may not always be the best way. Work with your attorney and their staff to determine the best way.
