Because facing a criminal charge can be scary, client communication with your lawyer is very important. So here we explain why our clients have our mobile phone number and direct email address.
Client Communication in Today’s World
While in the old days, lawyers and bankers worked Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. In order to protect their privacy, most attorneys had “unlisted” home phone numbers in the phone book. As a result, you could only call during regular business hours. Back then, there were no cell phones or emails. Rather, there were clear boundaries and limits on client communication with lawyers.
Not anymore. Today, with smart phones and email, there really is no excuse to not be able to speak with your attorney. Rather, many lawyers now advertise their mobile phone number and are available when needed. Even though some attorneys still refuse to give out their personal contact information, clients are beginning to expect it. If not, they will just go to a different lawyer. After all, even my one-eyed dog Roo can see you should get better service than that. Otherwise, she might bite you, and everyone knows dynamite comes in small packages.
So What Should You Expect From Your Lawyer
Because client communication is so important, we make ourselves directly available. While it is best to call us during the day, we know sometimes things come up after hours. So if you need us, we will be there. After all, just a few answers can help you sleep better. And that is what you should get for your money. Even if we are sitting in court, we can email back and forth with information. In addition, you can always reach out to any of our paralegals for most questions. However, for more particular answers, you can count on our lawyers to be available. That is our promise and our pledge to you.
