First, consider the use of a cell phone. Just about everyone has one these days, and if you are in a place where you are deliberating getting one anyway, this is the time to do it. The more accessible you are going to be, the better the chances of you getting that much needed contact that you are after. Make sure that you keep your phone set to vibrate. This can go a long way towards getting your work taken care of and towards giving you the right kind of response time that your attorney will appreciate. When you are dealing with legal matters, cell phones can be precisely what you need to make that all important contact.

When you are ready to make sure that you can reach your lawyer by phone and vice versa, it is time for you to write down when the lawyer is going to call and when you should call as well. Make sure that you can call when you are expected to do so. Many lawyers run on a very tight window of time and unless you are available when you said you are going to be, you might find that your legal case and your work is getting shunted to the bottom of the to-do pile. If you have a phone appointment, make sure that you treat it as well as you treat an in-person appointment. Take some time and really consider what your options are going to be. At this point, you should never make an appointment that you cannot keep.


Another important aspect of getting in touch with a legal professional is that you are going to need to get used to leave voice mail. Remember that if it was important enough to call your lawyer about it, it is going to be important enough to leave a voice mail. Too many people simply feel as though they are uninterested in voice mail or that it is somehow beneath them. The truth of the matter is that you should leave a detailed voice message whenever you call. Remember that you should detail your reasons for calling and that you should let them know about when you will call back. Also leave them with a number in case they would like to contact you.

When you get sent to a real secretary, think about what kind of situation he or she is in. Are they going to want to know the full history of what is going on? Chances are good that the answer is no, and when you are looking to make sure that you can get the salient points of the case across to them, make sure that you keep that in mind. Do ask if they think it is possible to get a call back that day. If you are seeking a lawyer for their counsel, it might be time for you just to say that the lawyer in question knows what you are talking about. On the other hand, if you are VIP or from the press, it might be worth your time to outline your work to the staff secretary, because this might have significantly better results.

When you are using your phones to get in touch with an attorney over legal matters, it is time to take initiative and to really figure out what your options are going to be. Staying in contact is quite important in matters pertaining to the law, and this can be a very crucial thing for you to do!
