Frequently Asked Questions
What is a per diem attorney and how can you help my law practice?
I work as a per diem attorney. I fill in for you covering legal roles when you cannot show up for court appearances, depositions or other legal events. For lawyers who run solo practices, small firms or even larger firms who are coming from a long distance, my job provides helpful flexibility during schedule conflicts, emergencies or heavy caseloads. I know the Suffolk County courts, local rules and each individual judges’ rules. I keep your representation professional while you attend to other pressing matters.
What types of court appearances can you manage as my Riverhead per diem attorney?
I cover many types of court matters in Suffolk County courts. I handle client meetings, settlement conferences, oral argument on motions, status conferences, hearings, pre-trial conferences and alternative dispute resolutions. I focus on civil litigation cases in Riverhead and nearby Suffolk County venues. I know local court rules and procedures and work well with court staff. This local know-how helps me offer smooth representation no matter which matter your practice needs.
How much notice should I provide to book your services as a per diem attorney in Riverhead?
I ask that you book my service about 24-48 hours ahead. This helps me plan and prepare well. For cases that need extra work, a longer notice is best. My booking process is simple and I often take urgent requests with little warning. I run a one-person firm too and know the struggles, so I focus on quick replies and flexibility, but I can and will take last minute appearances. I do have experienced litigation associates who can work with me when needed.
What details does your firm need when hiring you as our Riverhead per diem attorney?
To represent you well I ask for these details at booking: case name, index number, name of judge, time of conference/hearing, type of event, past case details, what you want at the session, who the other lawyer is, and key documents like pleadings or motions. I read all materials and can hold short meetings before the event to answer any questions. The more details you give me, the better I’m able to accomplish your goals in court.
How are your fees set for per diem attorney services in Suffolk County?
My Riverhead per diem service uses transparent, steady fees that work for law practices of any size. I set a fixed price for standard sessions based on the kind of event and its expected duration, with set prices for half-day or full-day work. Extra services such as more preparation, preparing your clients or special court sessions may cost more and I explain these costs up front. I offer competitive fees for quality Riverhead per diem service without hidden charges.
