As you are aware, our operations were somewhat affected by the newly released COVID-19 restrictions released by the Governor on Sunday, November 15, 2020. Please note: the courts and judicial operations are not closed. However, our firm and its operations fell within the definition of “professional services” which is required to make a few changes in order to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in our community and across the state. As such, our office has shifted to an emergency staffing plan with the majority of our staff working remotely from home. We learned a lot from our first lockdown this past Spring and believe these new restrictions will have minimal effect, if any, on your case as we have worked to streamline the work-from-home process of our staff.
