To accomplish this, your professional relationship with BottomLine Lawyers starts with an initial consultation, the first step in a process we call our assessment protocol.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE
The assessment protocol used by BottomLine Lawyers puts you and your concerns at the center of attention rather than a type of law. This is a different way of looking at the profession of law and a sincere reflection of how we feel about our clients.

We’ve stood in your shoes and understand the issues individuals and business people confront, and the need to take action that produces results that advance your objectives, not your legal bill.

BOTTOMLINE LAWYERS ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL

FACT FINDING
When you engage with us, we start the process of assessing your situation by sitting down with you to learn facts, gather documents and understand your concerns. Which business and personal relationships are most important to you? What values do you most cherish? What things do you care about?

ANALYSIS
Next, we will analyze the information collected, identifying the range of possible actions that are responsive to your circumstances and concerns. We will answer key questions: Who has a stake in your issue? Why do they care? How does your issue interact with issues of importance to other stakeholders? In this phase of assessment, we look beyond expedient answers to genuine solutions that address your concerns.

STRATEGY
A keen knowledge of law and legal process, procedure and rules is important but not enough. We examine the “big picture”, which includes forces outside the law, to create a strategy to achieve your objective. We continuously re-evaluate strategy and adjust for new facts and changes in circumstances.

TACTICS
Finally, from strategy we evolve tactics that move you toward your goal. Our successful tactics leverage skills, training, education and experience to achieve your objective as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. If your issue includes law outside our focus, we’ll tell you… and then we’ll help you “fill the gap.” BottomLine Lawyers’ mission is to be your guide through the legal maze, not abandon you to the mercy of specialists who may fail to see the big picture.

BottomLine Lawyers stand ready, willing and able to partner with you on the road to recovery, but the first step is up to you.
