Mr. Smith recognizes that if he does not take care of his clients, someone else will.  The practice of law is a service business and clients rightfully demand that their attorney be accessible, responsive and keep them informed of the status of their matters.  Mr. Smith ensures client satisfaction by: 

§ Fostering a strong attorney-client team relationship

§ Being readily accessible to clients

§  Promptly responding to client inquiries

§    Listening to clients and taking the time to understand their business needs and desires

§ Offering creative approaches and solutions to clients' personal, legal and business concerns

§    Continually working with clients to define their objectives

§    Examining, and then developing, a legal strategy designed to achieve those objectives 

Fees & Billing

Mr. Smith understands that legal expenses are a concern to early stage companies and encourages open communication regarding invoices.  Like his clients, Mr. Smith operates a lean shop which allows him to maintain a reasonable and realistic fee policy and works with clients to devise the most equitable billing system for their individual needs.  Fees are always agreed to up-front and bills are timely and detailed, with specific work, flat rate or hourly charges and expenses clearly spelled out.
