How Often You’ll Receive Case Updates From Your Attorney
While New York legal ethics require attorneys to keep clients reasonably informed, we strive to exceed those standards. Your update frequency typically follows these patterns:
- Scheduled Intervals: Depending on the case, this may be weekly or monthly check-ins.
- Major Milestone Updates: We contact you immediately for key events such as filing legal documents, court hearing dates, or receiving settlement offers.
- Client-Driven Preferences: We tailor our frequency based on how much or how little you wish to be contacted.
Factors That Can Affect Case Update Frequency
No two cases are identical, and several external factors can influence how often there is “new” news to report.
- Case Type: Personal injury cases may have long periods of medical treatment where updates are routine, whereas fast-moving criminal or business litigation may require daily contact.
- Case Stage: The “discovery” phase often involves waiting for third-party documents, which can lead to quieter periods compared to the active trial phase.
- External Timelines: We are often at the mercy of court schedules, insurance company response times, and third-party experts.
How Does Communication Frequency Differ for Specific Case Types?
In personal injury cases, updates often center on medical milestones and insurance negotiations. Conversely, in family law or business litigation, the high level of required client input usually necessitates more frequent interaction. Regardless of the case type, “quiet periods” are a normal part of the legal cycle and typically indicate that we are waiting for a response from the court or opposing counsel.
How You Can Support Clear Communication With Your Attorney
Effective communication is a two-way street. You can help us move your case forward by:
- Sharing Preferred Methods: Let us know if you prefer text, email, or calls, as well as the best time of day to reach you.
- Prompt Responses: Providing requested documents or information quickly prevents avoidable delays.
- Asking Questions: We welcome your inquiries; never hesitate to ask for clarification if something is unclear.
