Best Child Custody Lawyers in Colonie, NY

You want to know the best way to save on your attorney’s fees? Be organized! It sounds too good to be true - but it is true. A little organization will go a long way to saving thousands of dollars. Here are a few tips to help you do just that. In emails: — If the email is longer, consider using headings throughout and bullets for big points — Consider a summary section with your specific questions — Be sure that you’ve used full sentences / complete trains of thought. — Eliminate venting; include only the facts that your attorney needs to know to answer your question Over phone: — Make a list of your questions - stay on topic and on point — Don’t use the phone call as a therapy session. Venting is understandable, but try to keep it focused and productive — Before concluding the call, review your questions and action items. Confirm you understand your next steps (and their next steps) When providing documents: — Label the document so your attorney can easily understand what the file contains. This is especially true for photos. — Provide all documents they have requested in one communication (rather than several) — If your attorney asks for your bank statements - send them the actual statements. Don’t just screenshot the first page of your bank feed. (you’d be surprised how often this happens!)
