To ensure you still have access to us, our lawyers are available to meet with you remotely so we can answer your legal questions and discuss your case.
Across the nation, people are limiting in-person contact as much as possible to help slow the spread of the virus and allow our healthcare system to operate within its capacity. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to provide important guidance about what we all can do to protect ourselves and others from exposure. (Visit the CDC website for the most up-to-date information and recommendations.)
During this challenging time, our attorneys remain available to talk about your legal issues over the phone or via free video conferencing services such as:
- GoToMeeting
- Facetime
- Skype
- Zoom
