At Wood Hammel, we believe that if you’re reaching out about a legal matter, you deserve to speak directly with an attorney — not an answering service or a call screener.
Over the years, we’ve learned that phone calls often create frustration on both sides. We’re a small, focused law firm, and our attorneys are typically in court, in meetings, or working deeply on our clients’ cases. We don’t believe in putting someone on hold or handing them off to a receptionist who can’t actually help.
Instead, we’ve designed our intake process around what we believe is a better experience: a simple, direct contact form that goes straight to our legal team.
Here’s Why That’s Better:
- No phone tag, no being put on hold. When you submit the form, we have the details we need to understand your situation and respond thoughtfully.
- Every inquiry is reviewed by an attorney. You won’t talk to someone reading from a script — you’ll hear back from someone qualified to actually help.
- It saves you time. We’ll let you know promptly whether we believe we’re the right firm for your matter, and what next steps we recommend.
Already a Client?
If you’re already a client of the firm, you’ll have direct access to your attorney, including by phone and email. This policy only applies to prospective new clients.
Questions?
We understand that some people prefer the phone. But we truly believe this approach results in a better, more respectful experience for everyone. If you’re considering working with us, we invite you to use our contact form and tell us about your situation. We’ll be in touch as soon as we can — typically within one business day.
