informed as to the progress of this case. We will send you copies of all papers coming in and
going out of our offices, including correspondence, pleadings, and other court documents. We
ask that once we are retained as counsel that you do not make changes or take what may seem
like unimportant steps without consultation with me first. Do not hesitate to ask questions.
If I am unavailable when you telephone, your call will be returned with reasonable
promptness. There will be times, however, when I will be in court, or at meetings, or in
conference, which will preclude me from returning your call as quickly as we both might like,
but I shall do my best to return your telephone calls as soon as I can.

correspondence and documents to you to keep you informed. We maintain our files for a period
