My legal secretary Dorie and I continue to work from my office. However, in an effort to protect clients and us, the office is locked.
I speak with clients by phone and communicate by e-mail. There is a box outside the front door for drop-offs of documents.
I participate in court proceedings by Zoom video conferencing or phone. The courts are still open, although many proceedings have been postponed.
Many legal needs do not stop, even during an epidemic. In fact, the epidemic has caused some new legal needs (e.g., refusal of parenting time because of the lockdown). I continue to work on, and resolve, my clients’ legal needs. I have resolved several parenting time and support disputes in the last few weeks.
