Endorsed Partner: Alexander & Alexander • Legal Services
Founded by John T. Alexander II, MD, JD, Alexander & Alexander has the advantage of understanding physicians and strives to solve legal problems with an efficient, common-sense approach, saving you time and money:
1. No Billable Hours: Billing by the hour tempts attorneys to rationalize inefficient behavior, thereby increasing costs without improving outcomes. We determine our charges by the project - complexity of the service, time spent, outcome achieved, and ability to pay - not the hour.
2. Efficient Problem Solving: Because many firms have quotas for billable hours, it is easy for these attorneys' motivations to become more centered on generating billable hours than on efficient problem solving. Our clients prefer we spend our time solving their legal problems as efficiently and inexpensively as possible, rather than waste time making sure they are charged for every minute.
3. Complimentary Phone Calls and Emails: Physicians know that the best time for a patient to contact their doctor with a problem is when symptoms first appear, before serious disease can set in. Many people resist contacting their attorneys with a quick legal question because they know even a simple encounter can lead to a bill. We don't keep track of every single call or email. Who has the time?
4. No Annoying Add-ons: Physicians cannot understand why a one-minute phone call or email shows up on their bill as a 15-minute charge, or why it costs $5 for a simple fax, when nearly every other business considers this part of the cost of doing business. With our firm you will never be nickel-and-dimed for faxes, postage, email, copying, or courier service.
5. Attorney Contact: Many physicians feel they have limited access to their attorney because phone calls are not promptly returned. Clients often feel forgotten and are not updated regularly about the status of their case. When contact is made, clients know they are on the clock. We guarantee easy access to your attorney, and promise prompt return calls.
Alexander & Alexander is dedicated to restoring respect to the legal profession by providing efficient legal services, eliminating financial conflicts of interest, and redefining the dynamics of client-attorney communication.
