OUR SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES:
State of the Art Computerization: The Wolf Firm employs state of
the art technology including a data system called "ProLaw". Through ProLaw,
all client documents, memoranda, communications, notes, drafts and recorded
documents are kept in a centralized location on each matter so that all attorneys
and paralegals can access all file documentation. This allows for a quick
review of the entire file and other significant operating efficiencies.
Firm members are fully trained and work within LPS Desktop, Vendorscape,
Lenstar and Lincs. In addition, the firm provides a host of comprehensive
free services including on-site seminar training programs, internet based
training and periodic status reports.
.
COMMUNICATION:
The firm recognizes that a well-informed client is a satisfied client
and thus a number of systems have been developed to ensure that our clients
are indeed well-informed. First, we pride ourselves on promptly returning
all telephone calls and e-mails. Second, you will regularly be receiving
correspondences regarding the status of each case, and copies of all pleadings
are provided with explanatory cover letters. Third, if requested the firm
provides monthly status reports. We encourage questions and attempt
to provide practical answers based on legal principles and the customs and
practices in the industry. Finally, all of these services are included within
the basic fee programs at no additional charge.
NATIONAL ATTORNEY NETWORK:
We helped found a national network of attorneys now known as the
USFN and we are a proud member of that association. Additionally, we are
a member of the AFN. The USFN and AFN are both recognized as premiere
legal networks in the country for problem loans. Should you need relief
from stay (or foreclosure, eviction, receivership, etc.) assistance in another
state, we can refer you to a USFN or AFN member and help coordinate the action
with that attorney. This service is provided at no additional charge.
TRAINING:
The firm provides a comprehensive training program tailored to meet
the specific needs of our clients. Recent seminar topics have included:
"An Overview of Bankruptcy and Relief From Stay Actions," "Preparation of
the Deed In Lieu of Foreclosure" and "General Approaches to Evictions."
We find that seminars are an excellent means of communication and
we provide this service at no additional charge. The firm is always
striving to improve and enhance the training process. Online training programs
are also available.
COST SAVINGS APPROACH:
The firm strives to perform legal services in the most cost effective
manner possible. In bankruptcy matters, we do not routinely request
appraisals; rather, appraisals are only requested in those relatively rare
instances where equity will truly be at issue and where it appears likely
that the appraisal will influence a particular judge. Our recommendations
in this and similar areas are based on years of experience with local rules
and judges.
We also strive to inform our clients of methods and approaches they
may utilize to avoid unnecessary legal costs. For example, we instruct
our clients on how to contact the various bankruptcy courts to determine
whether they are already automatically relieved of the stay, and if so, the
methods for obtaining copies of the appropriate orders without attorney
involvement. Similarly, we can recommend (from a cost perspective) when a
case is best referred to the firm. These simple actions can produce significant
cost savings.
