Setting an Initial Consultation with an Attorney in the Orlando, Florida Area During the Corona Virus Pandemic

What should you expect if you call to set an initial consultation with an attorney in the Orlando, Florida area during the Corona Virus Pandemic?  First, the attorney’s office might prefer that you speak to the attorney by phone consultation instead of coming in person to the office at this time period.  The attorney’s office can take your credit card information over the phone; and you can consult with the attorney by telephone. If you feel that it is necessary that you have your initial consultation at the attorney’s office, the attorney’s office may ask you questions such as the questions a doctor’s office wound ask you prior to admittance and your visit at this time. These questions are to make sure that you do not have symptoms of the coronavirus, such as: Do you have a fever? Do you have a cough? Do you have shortness of breath or difficulty breathing? Have you recently traveled outside of the country? Have you recently been to a large gathering? These questions are not meant to pry into your personal life or invade your privacy. They are simply asked in order to protect the attorney and her/his staff from being exposed to the coronavirus. These are difficult times for all. People are anxious and stressed. Having a transparent conversation prior to the initial consultation may reduce the stress and anxiety that everyone is feeling during this pandemic. With less tension, you and the attorney can freely discuss the facts of your case; and discuss the analysis of your case. 

During that conversation, you may ask the attorney your questions that you want to be answered regarding your legal matter. The attorney can go over your matter and inform you between the options of mediation, collaboration, and litigation. The attorney can inform you about the court system and the court proceedings. They should also inform you on the current situation of the court system and the court proceedings during the coronavirus pandemic.
