COVID-19 Update

To best serve our clients, we are continuing to monitor the spread of Coronavirus, COVID-19, and making adjustments to our day-to-day operations based on guidelines issued by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the State of Wisconsin, and other governing bodies.

The safety of our clients, employees, and community is a key concern for our firm, while we deliver the legal services that our clients require.

The following are examples of the proactive solutions we have created:

• Offering meetings via telephone,
• Utilizing technology to provide face to face meetings virtually through video conferencing,
• Cancelling and/or rescheduling events that fall outside of current guidelines, and 
• providing a modified signing process for clients.

While we are adapting to the challenges presented by COVID-19, the urgent need for legal services and counsel remains, and in some cases intensifies, during this time.

For this reason, we strongly recommend that all adults have the following documents:

• HIPAA Authorization, to allow those you select to receive information about your medical care and status.
• Financial Power of Attorney, to allow those you select to pay bills and make other time-sensitive financial decisions on your behalf if you were unable. 
• Healthcare Power of Attorney, to allow your agents to advocate for you and make medical decisions if you were unable.
• Living Will, to share your healthcare preferences, should you be unable to communicate your wishes.

These four documents, in addition to a comprehensive Estate Plan, and when prudent a Long-Term Care plan, allow our clients to protect their families, healthcare options, and assets, even in uncertain times.
