Why people hate lawyers
No offense to used car salesmen and politicians, but lawyers are
just about as popular. More than 20 years of legal experience
has taught us that there are 2 main reasons why people hate lawyers:
1. Unresponsiveness — My
lawyer doesn’t return
my calls. Read
Lack of timely response is a huge frustration
for clients. Your attorney is supposed to be there for you when
needed. For us, this is a no brainer. Every client is important
to us. We understand that if you don’t get the service you
need, you will leave us. We are committed to making sure that does
not happen. Your phone calls and e-mails will receive a prompt,
personal reply.
While this common courtesy seems difficult for many law firms,
especially larger ones, it’s simply the way we do business.
We’ll treat you as you treat your valued clients. It’s
the least we can do.
2. Unpredictable fees Read
If you have ever hired a lawyer, you know
the awful moment when the bill arrives in the mail. You open
the envelope as though it were Oscar night, nervously, because
you don’t know what
to expect.
We think that is a strange way to do business.
Our approach is different. We offer you an array of flexible options
to meet your needs and discuss costs ahead of time so you can make
informed decisions.
Hourly billing
We will obtain your approval before undertaking a task
We will let you know, up front, how much time we think it will
take
We will not go ahead without your approval
Project billing
We will quote you a price for a project
No surprises: when you open the bill, it will cost what we said
it would cost
Retainer program
For a fixed monthly payment, we will be your human resources support
team
Unlimited calls
Unlimited expert advice
No more worry about unknown legal fees
Albrecht Labor & Employment Law is different. We’ll
respond promptly and we’ll charge a fair, predictable fee
and offer flexible arrangements for payment.
We can’t stop
the lawyer jokes or change the image of the profession, but we
can promise this: prompt response, expert advice and a commitment
to helping you solve problems as quickly and easily as possible. |
