ABOUT US:
My name is Liew, founder of Attorneys on the Spot; I was a case manager of a law firm for almost 5 years. My experience tells me that the one of the most common pitfalls I encountered when I used to rush to different courthouses usually starts when an attorney that was supposed to appear in the hearing cancels their appearance in the very last minute. That has led my law firm to be sanctioned in many different occasions. Some other times, the appearance attorneys never read the pleadings before showing at the courthouse, and they are so unprepared that they don’t know what they’re supposed to do at the hearing, and the clients they represent get frustrated and make complaints against the attorney I used to work with. In one occasion one appearance attorney was standing in front of the judge, stared right in his eyes, and just told him: “Your honor, I don’t know what I’m doing here. I’m just an appearance attorney”. It has also happened that they tell the opposing counsel: “To be honest with you, I don’t know anything about this case.” I’ve dealt with different attorneys and many unprofessional inconveniences, namely cancellations to appear in the last minute, attorneys not reading pleadings, and some not even knowing their case.
I created Attorneys on The Spot to offer a professional service where to gather attorneys who are committed to provide a better service to the law offices, even if they are appearance attorneys. Once they commit with us, they will have to be there, and they will have to read the pleadings, and follow the directions of the law offices, or the counsel on the record.We are an organization created in November of 2018. Our main goal is to help you grow your business as a law firm. When you or your associates are unable to appear; we will be there to cover you.
