We have a broad array of family law forms, so we can use your forms or ours, custom tailored to your specific needs. We’ll get you a working draft from your initial instructions, assist with finalization of the document, and either send the final version on to opposing counsel or prepare it for e-filing and service.
There are several ways we obtain work assignments and get instructions from you: via email, web link, postal mail, fax, telephone or, for local attorneys, we can meet at your office. We are flexible and willing to take the necessary steps to transition work between your office and ours.
We carry high standards of ethics in maintaining confidentiality, and we have in place a “conflict of interest system” to detect any potential conflicts.
