Clients often wonder whether doing legal work themselves
will save on expenses.
In my experience, the answer is no.
If you intend to work with Russell Law I would prefer to be
involved in your matter from the beginning, and see it through to conclusion.
When there are background tasks you can do yourself, to save on my time, I will
certainly afford you that opportunity.
But we will achieve greatest efficiency
and effectiveness if you authorize me to perform all of the services that your
matter requires. If that is not the case, we end up spending even more time
coordinating our efforts, backtracking, and cleaning up your mistakes. Long
term, you will not be as well served and you will probably end up spending more money
than necessary.
