Legal matters – consultation/advice
• A provider lawyer will call you back or you may select a call-back window.
• If your provider law firm does not reach you on the first attempt, a second attempt will be made the next business day.
Legal matters – time sensitive need/ response
• If you have a legal matter requiring immediate review due to a deadline, hearing date or required response, then your matter will be handled urgently by receiving a consultation from a lawyer within an hour.
• If you have a legal matter requiring immediate review due to a pending deadline, hearing date or response, and your law firm does not reach you on the first or second attempt a third attempt will be made within four business hours after the first call attempt.
• If your law firm cannot reach you regarding your call requiring an immediate review due to a pending deadline, hearing date or response, your law firm will use another method of communication to let you know they are trying to contact you after all three call attempts have been made.
