When the retainer is signed
Six stages explained before any of them arrive, so the first phone call is a real question rather than “what happens now.”
THE MOMENT IT BREAKS
The same eleven questions, from every client, forever.
What happens next, what is discovery, why do I need a deposition, what happens at mediation, why has nothing happened in three months, what does this letter mean, what is a lien and why does resolving one take so long?
TODAY
Client calls → paralegal explains → client forgets → client calls again
Answered by whoever picks up, slightly differently every time.
WITH THIS
Explain → their language → check understanding → call the firm with a real question
The same explanation, every client, with a record it was given.
THE WORDS NOBODY DEFINES
They signed next to every one of these.
Ask anybody a week later what any of them means. The document defined them. Defining a word is not the same as somebody knowing it.
- Engagement agreement
- Demand package
- Discovery request
- Deposition notice
- Mediation notice
- Settlement statement
- Closing documents
- Estate planning documents
- Immigration notices
- Bankruptcy paperwork
THREE MOMENTS
Not a benefit. A minute on a specific day.
When something lands in the post
What it is, why they received it, which terms matter, and what happens next.
At eleven at night
The questions nobody asks the attorney in a meeting get asked alone, on a phone, months later.
THE SAME ENGINE, EVERY CYLINDER
Explained, then actually learned.
Lessons
Two minutes on one thing, in plain language, built only from the material the institution already approved.
Audio
Read aloud, so somebody who will not sit down and read it can still hear all of it.
Thirteen languages
Delivered in the language spoken at home, not translated at the counter by whoever is on shift.
Knowledge checks
Two questions confirm it landed, so understanding is evidenced rather than assumed.
Share it
Forwarded to the daughter, the spouse, the person who was not in the room and is doing the remembering.
A record
What was presented, when, in which language, and which parts had to be explained twice.
HOW IT GETS THERE
Send us the document your staff explains most. We will send back the lesson.
Whichever one produces the most phone calls; we will build it, in English and Spanish, and you can decide from there.
