WADE ASH CONTINGENCY PLAN DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

4/8/2021 Update - Changes highlighted in yellow

We want you to know what Wade Ash Woods Hill & Farley, P.C. is doing to remain available to you during the coronavirus outbreak. In light of the recent Safer-at-Home Public Health Order, we are starting to loosen travel restrictions to our office, but we are not yet opening our doors and/or staffing the office full-time. We do, however, remain fully operational, and available to meet in our offices with you (with certain requirements and precautions) in the event you have paperwork that needs to be signed, etc.

Following the unprecedented developments and out of an abundance of caution, we have advised our staff, legal assistants, paralegals and attorneys that they can work from home.  We want to make sure that our employees and the people with whom we have contact remain as safe as possible.  During this temporary arrangement, we are committed to fulfilling our responsibilities to our clients.  We are very much open for business and will continue to serve you. 

Fortunately, over the last several months we have invested in technology so that, if necessary, all of our employees can work from home and have ready access to our client files.  In the near term, we have taken the following safety measures:

1. We have encouraged everyone to work from home during our normal business hours. Our employees will be monitoring phone calls and e-mails, making sure that they are directed to the right attorneys.
2. We have asked our employees to restrict travel when possible.
3. Effective immediately, our firm is holding in-person meetings between clients that have been vaccinated and attorneys that have been both vaccinated and have returned to the office. If you have been vaccinated, please contact your attorney to discuss the possibility of an in-person meeting. We will continue to follow all COVID protocols.
   
4. For court hearings, we will appear by telephone whenever possible and/or until the court system reopens.
5. Like most businesses, we are advising our employees to take common sense steps like social distancing.
6. Estate plan signing meetings may once again occur in our office but only between attorneys that have been vaccinated and have returned to the office and clients that have also been vaccinated. Otherwise, we will try to work out a protocol to get documents signed. Please contact your attorney to discuss these options. We will continue to follow all COVID protocols.

Calling our main number [303-322-8943] will get you to our automated system. To bypass the message, hit # for the firm directory. Our intent is to maintain our full law firm operations even if all of our lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants and staff work remotely.

If you are planning to send us a delivery by overnight service (other than the post office), please call to make arrangements.

With everyone pulling together and looking out for one another, we can get through these uncharted waters. It is an unprecedented situation for all of us and we value your understanding.

Should you have questions or comments or if there is anything that we can do to help you, please call us.
