Hot Off the Presses
Letters
for Litigators: Essential Communications for Opposing Counsel,
Witnesses, Clients, and Others by Daniel I. Small and Robin
Page West.
Save time and simplify your office routine.
This publication includes numerous letters that can help simplify
the task of communicating with opposing counsel, witnesses,
clients, the court, and others. As an added benefit, all letters
contained in the book are also included on CD ROM.
As electronic communication via quick e-mails
and voice mail becomes the norm, and paper letters the exception,
it becomes increasingly important not to lose sight of the
importance of documenting the file and maintaining a professional
tone. These letters simplify and expedite this effort, whether
they are sent in paper form or via e-mail. Don’t reinvent
the wheel; start with these letters instead.
