Working with Attorneys During COVID-19

Unfortunately, life happens, and issues will arise no matter what king of quarantine is in place. Courts have been substantially shuttered during this time of global pandemic, but court cases and legal questions continue with only little hesitation. Thankfully, with the advancement of technology, maintaining a legal case during COVID-19 is not only possible it can efficient and effective.

Under Washington’s ‘Stay Home, Stay Healthy’ program under Governor Inslee, attorneys may be an essential service depending on the type of legal service being provided. Lawyers are allowed to practice law and meet clients in person to handle emergency matters. Cases involving critical sector services or emergency issues may be handled in person as required to protect clients’ needs. For all other inquiries, attorneys are left to handle cases by telephone, video conference, or email.
