What should I do if I need to deliver something to my attorney?Please call the office first to make sure that your attorney or your attorney’s paralegal is available. If you stop by the office unexpected to see your attorney or the paralegal, neither may be available. We are engaged in conferences and deadlines on a daily basis which do not always permit interruption. If you are unable to call in advance to schedule a brief appointment, please leave the information with the receptionist or the attorney’s assistance.
