“Will You Waste My Money Like the Other Firm?”
This prospective client minced no words. While a question this blunt could take anyone aback, it does deserve a direct answer. Calkins Law Firm is happy to oblige and will always answer “no” to questions like this. Here’s how we differ from the rest.
What Sets Us Apart
At Calkins Law Firm we care about our clients’ interests. We exist to help them address and resolve business law concerns. Our goal is to help each one find the best outcome for their situation. Even if we came at this conversation from a purely selfish point of view, wasting a client’s time and money isn’t profitable in the long term, and it won’t build a strong business.
Of course we aren’t speaking from a selfish or careless place, but a practical one. Wasting a client’s money means that we’ve also wasted our own time, knowingly putting on a pretense when a clear resolution isn’t likely. Playing that game would reflect poorly on our business and our skills. Instead, every course of action that we propose or recommend is based on facts and current law. We would never suggest an option unless we believe it to be both cost-effective and likely to result in success.
Cost Is Key
Cost-effectiveness is baked in to our law firm. A recent interviewer inquired about our rates, our new-age business model, and how we came to exist as a largely virtual law firm. Did we plan for this pandemic when designing and launching a law firm with low overhead? Is our heavy reliance on and ability to leverage technology prophetic? Again, we answered no-we couldn’t have possibly foreseen the current situation. Instead, we saw a need and filled it. Calkins Law Firm brings affordable expertise to the table-something that was sorely lacking from the business law scene.
Far from taking advantage of a client’s trust or deliberately wasting their time and money, the team at Calkins Law Firm will always strive to exceed expectations and produce the best outcome possible for every client. And to whatever legal and ethical extents we can, we are prepared to do whatever our clients need us to. That’s a statement that clients can take to the bank.
Trustworthy Experts
At Calkins Law Firm we stand ready to help you resolve legal issues in the best way possible. This means taking into account all aspects of your situation, including cost. Wasting your money is wasting our time, and both are too precious to squander. So if you’re looking for solid legal advice and a practical approach, reach out to us today. At Calkins Law Firm we value your investment and we’re here for you.
