More about Attorney Liptak:
I DO NOT . . .
. . . have a receptionist sitting in waiting room filled with plush chairs and expensive decor where I play non-stop self-promotion DVD’s. These would give me excuses to keep you waiting. I never like to be kept waiting, do not have a waiting room and do not keep my clients waiting—ever!.
. . . have a staff scurrying about looking busy or filling out the petition with you. This would make it easy for your file to get lost or mistakes to be made by people who are trying to understand and do my job.
. . . take every kind of case that comes into my office. My practice is primarily limited to Bankruptcy and debt relief issues and solutions. This focuses my time and resources on helping people like you who are experiencing financial difficulty and really need me.
I DO . . .
. . . answer all of my phone calls. This creates direct and immediate communication between us. It avoids the delay, miscommunication and lack of communication which
. . . normally attend the meeting of creditors (also called the MOC or 341 hearing) with my clients. I feel this is the most stressful event in the process for debtors. I want to be there to support you as much as possible. (Some offices regularly have another attorney appear from them at this meeting.)
. . . read all of my own faxes and e-mails. This keeps me up to date at all times.
. . . use technology as much as possible. This makes me faster and more efficient than would otherwise be possible—which also keeps costs down.
I have organized my office to make it easier for us to work together . This not only helps to reduce the fees and costs to you but also can help relieve the stress you might be experiencing. --RJL
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" ~ Emma Lazarus (American Poet 1849-1887)
