How to Participate in your Case

Essential to our effectiveness on your behalf is your cooperation & participation as follows:

  • Inform your attorney, paralegal or law student of address and telephone number changes, including where you normally can be reached during business hours;
  • Inform your attorney, paralegal or law student of significant changes in your circumstances or any occurrences that relate to or have impact on your case;
  • Attend scheduled appointments or call your attorney, paralegal or law student, in advance, to change the appointment;
  • Promptly provide information and documents requested by your attorney, paralegal or law student and anything else that might be important to the case;
  • Respond to telephone calls and letters from your attorney, paralegal or student;
  • Refuse to speak with an opposing attorney, if contacted, but immediately notify your attorney, paralegal or law student; and
  • Discuss any communications between you and the opposing party with your attorney, paralegal or law student, including settlement offers, before accepting them.
