I will be continuing my "pause" on new client consultations for at least another week while I catch up on my backlog of work for existing clients. However, there is also good news ahead! My office has been physically closed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I am scheduled for my second vaccine shot in April, so I anticipate reopening the office for client meetings on at least a limited basis by May. I will probably limit this to one person at a time for awhile before I begin meeting with clients and witnesses in larger groups. For now, I anticipate that multi-party meetings will continue to be through Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams.

I am putting a two-week hold on any initial consultations with prospective clients, so that I can concentrate on getting caught up with my backlog of paperwork. I hope to make enough progress in the next two weeks to be able to resume initial consultations. My outstanding obligations to complete work for existing clients must come first.
