3. Client Responsibility for Physical Documents: In instances where physical documents are necessary, clients are responsible for the printing, copying, and postage of such documents. This responsibility includes managing the physical mailing of documents when required.
4. Cost-Effective Services: By focusing on digital and virtual services and minimizing the use of paper-based processes, we aim to maintain cost-effective legal services for our clients. This approach not only reduces overhead costs but also passes on the benefits of reduced expenses to our clients.
