Why Hire a Small or Solo-Practitioner Law Firm?

From the Passaic Criminal Defense Attorney at Ibrahim Law Office

A large law firm, like any huge organization, is eventually slowed by its own bureaucracy. Over time, large firms become inflexible and tend to operate more for the benefit and convenience of its members rather than the benefit and convenience of its customers. A solo practitioner is relatively immune from that phenomenon and can therefore provide service that is more responsive and better-tailored to each client's needs. That is why, if you are facing a criminal charge in Passaic, Paterson, or Clifton, New Jersey, or anywhere in Passaic County, we recommend that you seek the legal services of the criminal defense lawyer at our firm, who will provide you with the responsive attention you need at such a crucial time in your life.

Efficiency

At a typical large firm, documents often are repeatedly passed along by redundant layers of junior associates, mid-level associates, senior associates and junior partners, before getting the attention of a senior partner. That is slow, inefficient, and expensive. The large firm does not care. That is simply one of the ways it makes money: by leveraging the billable hours of its professional staff. Solo practitioners cannot afford to engage in such activity. You are a big fish. In a large firm, many clients will find they are rather small fish in the firm's pond, and are treated accordingly. In a huge firm, even a Fortune 500 company may not be a particularly big fish. A sole practitioner has no small fish in his pond. Because repeat business is so desirable, every client is important and is treated as such.

Access

Unlike large firms, this office is happy to have clients contact us, day or night. Clients may contact us via any of the following methods: mail, e-mail, fax, website, office phone, home phone and cell phone. Calls to this office are automatically routed to the cell phone of a criminal defense attorney. This office strives to be accessible almost anywhere and anytime, including while away on vacation. If you use a larger firm, when is the last time one of the lawyers there gave you his cell number and urged you to use it?

Value Billing

A small firm gives the client a lower cost for the same quality of work. An experienced, knowledgeable sole practitioner can often perform legal tasks in far less time than would be required by a law firm and its bureaucracy. A large firm can give their staff a lot: high salaries, bonuses, beautiful mahogany offices, catered food at meetings, golf outings at expensive country clubs, limo service home for anyone working past 5:00, in-house cafeterias, in-house gyms, expense accounts and so on. Well, who do you think is paying for that? The client. You! Solos do not have to pay for that kind of fixed overhead and can pass the savings along to their clients.

Personal Attention from a Passaic Criminal Defense Lawyer

Working with a small firm or solo lawyer affords you the opportunity to work with someone who shares the same values you do: flexibility, family, an attention to detail and the personal relationship part of any legal transaction. The Passaic criminal defense lawyer at our firm understands that his job is to help others and he does so with the kind of personalized attention you won't often find at a large, corporate firm with its layers of employees and menu-constricted communication lines. For personal attention, call us. You won't regret it.
