Keep Clients Informed
Ledbetter Law Group, using state-of-the-art technology, stays in communication with clients and keeps them informed by quickly sending them copies of correspondence and other documents. Our office is capable of using technology to teleconference in with family members, business affiliates, and special friends in our conference room using Facetime, Skype, and Google Hangouts. This allows for us to explain procedures with interested parties who are not able to attend in-house consultations and signings.
Confidentiality
The relationship between an attorney and his or her client is founded on trust and confidence. So sacred is this relationship that information given by the client to the attorney or a staff member is a “privileged communication” which is recognized by the courts as confidential so that it cannot be disclosed without the client’s consent. Even the name of a client can be confidential information. Thus, Ledbetter Law Group is careful not to discuss clients and their matters in the presence of others.
New Clients
Ledbetter Law Group welcomes new clients referred by existing clients, other professionals, and friends of the firm. If we are not able to handle the work, we will bring in another lawyer who can help. Much of Ledbetter Law Group work comes through referrals from existing clients and other lawyers, including both out-of-state law firms and local firms having client conflicts.
Responsiveness
Ledbetter Law Group performs legal services in a timely and responsive manner. The team at Ledbetter Law Group are able to assist clients in various means to receive timely and responsive service. When an attorney is needed, return calls, emails, and consultations are scheduled as soon as possible.
Fees and Costs
Ledbetter Law Group performs legal services for fees at his then current hourly rates and/or prearranged flat fees which are reasonable for the work performed. Clients are also responsible for costs (e.g., postage, copies, recording fees, courier, etc.). Fees are discussed during the initial conference and a written fee agreement is signed prior to beginning work on a client’s case/matter. It is office policy to accept an advance trust deposit or fee retainer when beginning work. The deposit/retainer is applied to statements sent periodically (commonly, monthly) or upon completion of the work. As the retainer is used, the client will be asked to replenish it. Payment is due upon receipt of each statement. Payment is accepted via cash, check, or credit card (some restrictions apply). If another payment method is needed, please discuss this at the initial conference. Mr. Ledbetter will answer questions about billing at any time. Please call as soon as you receive a statement if there is any question about it.
Office Hours
Office hours are from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday, except lunch hours and holidays. Appointments outside normal business hours and outside office consultations may be scheduled to meet special circumstances.
