Despite this unprecedented pandemic crisis, clients can count on us to be as responsive as always, maintain confidentiality and digital security, and promptly handle their requests.
If you are already working with us, please continue to communicate with Jack, Deborah, Bill, Gat, Linda or Saswat as you have been doing. If you are not yet a client but need legal assistance, please call or email Deborah at [email protected]. She will respond promptly.
