ZiffLaw Covid-19 Response
We Are Open for Business But Our Office is Closed and We are Working Remotely
As you likely know, both the President and the Governor have declared a state of emergency to contain the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus. As a result, federal courts have been essentially shut-down for 45-60 days. That means any pending proceedings are cancelled and will have to be rescheduled at a later date. Although these cancellations will undoubtedly cause a delay in the resolution of your case, rest assured we will be exerting our very best efforts to ensure any delay is minimal. During the court shutdown, we plan to take advantage of this time to actively work the many non-court related tasks associated with every case (investigation, obtaining medical records, negotiating with insurance carriers, etc.).
Health officials have urged “social distancing” to slow the spread of coronavirus. To protect the health of our ZiffLaw team, our many valued clients and the general public, our Elmira office will be closed but our entire team of lawyers and paralegals will be working remotely to ensure both new clients and existing clients will not experience any interruption in service.
Our decision many years ago to invest heavily in the very best law office technology means that our entire team can easily work remotely with access to the exact same resources they have in the office. This means we will be able to actively work on your case during the time of the court shutdown.
At this time, we intend to work remotely for at least the next two weeks, but we will continue to monitor the changing coronavirus scene and may extend this period of remote work, if necessary.
For your safety and convenience, while our office is closed, we will be happy to meet with you via phone or FaceTime or Skype. Whatever works best for you.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at 800-ZIFFLAW (943-3529) or email us at info@zifflaw.com.
All our best to you and your family!
