How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Friendship With Benefits
Years ago, lawyers practiced in small communities amongst family and friends. Lawyers and clients benefited from knowing one another. Naturally, a Lawyer-Client relationship began as a human relationship which allowed both parties, when necessary, to benefit from a business relationship. Clients were treated with respect. They received regular communication from their lawyers, they were shown empathy and compassion and, importantly, clients rarely felt undervalued or misunderstood. This was the way friends treated friends, and, the Lawyer-Client relationship was, for all intents and purposes, a friendship with benefits.
At Melita & Smelyansky, P.C., first and foremost, we offer you our friendship. Our sincere belief is that you may forget what we say and you may forget what we do but you will never forget how we make you feel. Of course, our friendship doesn’t mean we will play matchmaker, lend you money, or cheer on your kids at a sporting event. We are lawyers after all. We will, however, take advantage of every opportunity to interact with you and to learn about you. Moreover, we will keep our promises, return your phone calls, treat you with respect, preserve your privacy, send you copies of all pleadings and correspondence, charge you a fair price for our services, and produce results that fall within our range of predicted outcomes. This is the way friends treat friends. This is the way lawyers should treat clients. This is the way we will treat you.
