Dear Clients & Friends,
We write to you today to update you with Phillip Ballenger’s action plan in light of the escalating spread of the novel Coronavirus. This situation is new & unique to all of us – our core values have guided us to the following decisions regarding how Phillips Ballenger will operate for the benefit of our most precious assets, our clients, until it is safe to return to business as usual.
Please be assured that, thankfully, no one at Phillips Ballenger, nor any of our family members are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, nor has anyone tested positive.
However, in an abundance of caution and in light of the CDC’s & local health department recommendations, we have made the decision to take the precautionary measures to limit further spread in our community and to safeguard the health of our clients & team members by closing the office to walk-ins/ in-person meetings until further notice.
We will continue to send further information on our procedures as this develops, all of which will also be posted on our blog, so please check back for updates.
Our Office:
- Our staff will continue to work normal hours (9:00 am – 5:00 pm), so please feel free to give us a call or send an email as you would normally do;
- We will be implementing a closed-door policy, so we will not be accepting any walk-ins or in-person meetings for the time being;
- If you have an in-person meeting scheduled, you’ll receive a call or email from Becky or Diane to explain the transition to a phone meeting or virtual meeting via Zoom Meeting at your convenience.Please kindly await their instructions, so that they’re not bombarded all at once with calls; they’re both extremely efficient so don’t be concerned that you’ll be overlooked.
Dropping off documents:
- If you need to drop off any documents, we strongly prefer that you send these over via email or fax if possible.Our fax # is: 702-905-1208.
- If you’re unable to send via email or fax, please feel free to drop them off in our temporary office “in-box”, located outside our office doors starting 3/17, in the following manner:
- Please wash your hands and don’t touch your face prior to handling the documents;
- Make sure you have your documents sealed in an envelope clearly marked with the attorney’s name & matter reference, as applicable;
- Leave your document(s) in the container that will be OUTSIDE the office doors;
- Please notify us via phone (702-997-5701) or email (becky@phillipsballenger.com)that you’ve dropped them off; and
- Make sure that these are delivered between 9 am – 5 pm only.
In order to do our part to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, and in concert with the recommendations by our public health agencies and officials, some members of our firm will be working remotely all or part of the time. However, be assured that any documents delivered to our office will be taken inside as soon as possible- as always, your confidentiality is extremely important to us.
