Why can’t lawyers make your life easier?
Clients have asked this question in one form or other since the first lawyer open up an office and made people travel long distances to make an appointment.
That’s the question I asked myself in 2006, after practicing law for 11 years. My clients had been happy to come downtown to my office and stare at my pretty diplomas, sit in my waiting room, or watch the dust get thicker on my law books.
But it started to seem unfair of me to force people to come to me. And logistically, it was impossible for me to “ride the rails” and make house calls all over New York State to help people file for bankruptcy.
Now we’ve got marvels of technology to allow people to work together without being in the same place. Email, phones, faxes, text messages and the Internet allow us to get more done, faster and more efficiently.
I set up Fleischman Consumer Law Center to make it easy for people to get out of debt. We harness the power of technology, and to operate without the constraints of space. Our lawyers and staff members come together to work on individual client problems, then groups re-form when a new matter arises.
For example, a complex bankruptcy case may call for the services of a courtroom lawyer, an accountant, and a paralegal with expertise in federal litigation. Those people will come together to work on the case and then, when it’s done, those people will go to work on other cases with the firm as their skills are required.
We operate entirely online, with no fancy offices and no long drives to get to an appointment. Our clients have complete access to their files through a secure online portal so they are always in the loop.
It’s all my way of making it easier for you to deal with a difficult time.
