A Message To Our Clients During This Covid-19 (Corona Virus) Pandemic,

First and foremost, our hearts go out to you.  Our attorneys and staff are made up solely of people who have devoted themselves for decades to helping families during their toughest times.  This certainly qualifies.  It is scary and it is “ok” to feel anxious.  It would be weird not to.  Be kind to yourself. 

 Please listen to all of the “shelter-in-place” guidelines.  Some may think, “Well, if I’m gonna get it, I might as well get it.”  Please understand that this is a dangerous virus.  It affects young and old people of all races, creeds, and colors.  While most people who get the virus experience cold-like symptoms, the idea that only old people get very sick is not true.  Many many men and women in their 40s and 50s are being hospitalized.  Young people are more likely to recover, but this can be very serious to young and old alike.  Do everything you can to avoid the virus.  If the virus spreads too fast (as it has in Italy and other countries) the hospitals will be overwhelmed by the need.  Tests are being made, ventilators are being made, and every single day, the doctors and nurses on the front lines are getting better at treating it.  So protect yourself, protect others.  Practice mindfulness.  Try not to spend all day worrying about tomorrow.  Play a game with your family.  If you are out of work, apply for work-from-home jobs and research your eligibility for unemployment benefits.  Stay busy even if you feel like you have nothing to do.   

We will get through this as a nation.  Be safe.  Be careful.  Love yourselves and each other.
