As we welcome the new year, we are excited to announce our themes for 2024 at The Law Office of Angela Barker LLC! They are “Navigating the Divorce Journey” and “Embracing a Positive Mindset.”
Navigating the Divorce Journey
We at The Law Office of Angela Barker LLC are committed to transparency and education because a client who understands the divorce process is an asset to the firm. Therefore, as we step into the new year, we are embarking on a unique journey with our clients and friends of the firm – a yearlong exploration of the various stages of the divorce process. Of course, no two divorces are alike, and we must tailor each process to the needs of our clients. But we at the firm believe that there are processes and procedures that if followed will make the divorce process easier, more predictable, and less expensive.
Client Intake Process at Angela Barker LLC
We are kicking things off by discussing what happens when you first contact our office. At The Law Office of Angela Barker LLC, a potential client first contacts our firm via the firm’s email, telephone, website, or text. We have streamlined our client intake process to ensure a smooth and efficient journey from your first contact to the crucial Case Strategy Session. Let’s walk you through what happens when you reach out to us and how you can prepare for the upcoming Case Strategy Session.
- Initial Contact: Diverse Channels But One Goal
Whether you choose to reach out via email, telephone, website, or text, The Law Office of Angela Barker LLC has established a seamless system to handle your initial inquiry. For email and website inquiries, a client intake form will be provided to gather essential information. If you prefer the telephone, our receptionist is equipped to efficiently capture important data. Similarly, text inquiries are promptly attended to by a team member who ensures all necessary details are collected.
- Responding with Convenience: Booking Your Case Strategy Session
Following the initial contact, we believe in providing a convenient and user-friendly experience. A text will be sent to you with a link allowing you to book and pay for a Case Strategy Session. The link directs you to an online scheduling system, where you can view available time slots. You may then select a suitable time slot for the Case Strategy Session based on your availability. Once a time slot is selected, the system confirms the appointment and payment for the Case Strategy Session is facilitated through the online platform. A reminder is sent before the scheduled Case Strategy Session, ensuring you are well-prepared. This ensures a timely response and sets the stage for your upcoming meeting with Attorney Angela Barker.
- Information Gathering: What to Expect
During the intake process, we collect two main categories of information:
- Personal Information: This includes names of parties, basic contact details, background information on the type of case, where the matter was filed or is likely to be filed, and any other details necessary for communication and identification purposes.
- Case Information: Understanding the specifics of your situation is crucial. You will provide details related to your case, including relevant issues, timelines, events, and any documentation you may possess.
The information gathered at this point helps to determine a number of things- whether the case falls within our practice jurisdictions and/or areas of law, etc.
- Preparing for the Case Strategy Session: Document Submission
If your case involves documents that Attorney Angela Barker needs to review, we encourage you to email them to the firm before the scheduled Case Strategy Session. This proactive step allows Angela to familiarize herself with the details beforehand, ensuring a more productive and insightful Case Strategy Session. It is all about maximizing the time you have with her to address your concerns and develop a strategic plan for your case.
In summary, the client intake process at The Law Office of Angela Barker LLC is designed for efficiency and convenience. From your initial contact through to the Case Strategy Session, we strive to create a supportive and informative experience emphasizing communication, transparency, and a client-centric approach at every step of the way!
Up next: In February we will discuss what happens at the Case Strategy Session.
With warm wishes and from our family to yours,
The Law Office of Angela Barker LLC
