This coronavirus update records Clarie Law’s service plans on March 12, 2020. It describes the initial pandemic response and does not establish current office procedures or health guidance.
Original March 2020 Service Notice
Clarie Law Offices, P.A. is monitoring coronavirus developments in our state, county, and local community. Our office remains open and provides services to clients. Our judicial circuits also remain open and are monitoring the situation.
At the time of this notice, our staff followed CDC recommendations and cleaned office surfaces frequently. We encouraged staff and clients who felt unwell to reschedule appointments or work from home. These were the office measures described in March 2020.
If authorities required an office closure, our attorneys planned to work remotely from their homes. They would continue handling legal needs and client questions. Communication with our attorneys and staff would continue by email, telephone, and other remote technology.
Our office continued monitoring information from state, county, and local governments and our judicial circuits. We planned updates through the firm website, email, and telephone voicemail as the situation developed. We wished our clients and their families health and peace.
Coronavirus Update and Legal Service Continuity
Unexpected disruptions show why a clear communication plan matters. Keep your attorney’s contact details with your important records. Also confirm that the office has your current phone number, email address, and mailing address. If any of these change, notify the team promptly so you can receive updates about your matter.
Before a scheduled meeting, ask whether you need to attend in person or use a remote option. Then check which papers the attorney needs to review. A short agenda can help you cover the most important questions, especially when your usual routine has changed.
A Practical Review of Your Estate Planning Records
Use the review to identify missing or outdated information. For example, list the people named to make decisions for you and note any changes in their availability. In addition, check where you store your will, trust, and powers of attorney. Your attorney can explain which changes need formal legal documents.
Keep original documents secure and ask before sending them by mail. Copies can support an initial discussion, but they do not always serve the same legal purpose. If you have a court notice or another dated request, mention it when you contact the office.
This coronavirus update remains an archived announcement. For current services, contact Clarie Law. You can also review our estate planning information as you organize your questions.
