a lot of times small business owners are
00:06
too intimidated to call an attorney
00:09
right or they feel that their question
00:11
is ridiculous
00:12
and so they’ll try to handle it
00:14
themselves and i wouldn’t say nine times
00:16
out of ten but definitely a majority of
00:19
issues that are brought to us whether
00:21
they’re litigation or hopefully we can
00:23
mediate them or just make a phone call
00:25
and get the matter settled if they would
00:27
just have called an attorney beforehand
00:29
and get three four minutes worth of
00:30
advice right we could have avoided a lot
00:33
of problems so
00:34
the general counsel program is set up
00:36
for just that it’s set up for the little
00:39
questions on the side it’s set up for
00:41
just a page or a two-page document and
00:44
it’s a subscription program
00:46
you buy a certain number of hours every
00:48
month those hours roll into the next
00:50
month and you pay a flat rate so for
00:52
small businesses it’s fantastic because
00:54
you can budget to it you can actually
00:56
include it in your cost of business on a
00:58
monthly basis and if
01:00
we find that maybe you’re not using as
01:03
many hours as possible we can tailor it
01:05
down if we find that you’re using more
01:08
hours than necessary excuse me more
01:10
hours than you had budgeted
01:12
then we roll we’ll roll hours that won’t
01:14
use but that we’re not used from the
01:16
prior months or we’ll just expand your
01:18
program
01:19
so i i can’t tell you the number of
01:21
people now that even if it’s just
01:23
removing guilt from calling an attorney
01:25
for a quick question
01:27
that’s what we’re here for we’re here to
01:29
help you help yourself we’re here to
01:32
make sure that your business is
01:33
successful and litigation unfortunately
01:36
is the last place you want to be
