WORTHY OF NOTE
We are OPEN and serving our clients.
With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to evolve rapidly, I felt it was important to share with you our plan at Kavita V. Bhagat P.C. We have enacted a program designed to tide us through these tough times. As part of our plan, we will continue to provide services, albeit remotely.
To our existing clients, you have our cell phone numbers, please text us or WhatsApp us. If you prefer a face to face meeting, we would be happy to set up a WhatsApp or Skype call.
To Counsels who have enlisted our help with mediation/arbitration, thank you for placing your faith in us while the courts are closed. We are happy to offer solutions such that you can continue to assist your clients. We are offering remote resolution/ online dispute resolution including mediation, mediation-arbitration and parenting coordination. We use Zoom Pro to facilitate these remote meetings. Rest assured that confidentiality will be maintained. We have the ability to set up separate chat rooms and caucus if needed.
We continue to offer legal advice, legal coaching and provide unbundled services.
We are all in this together. We are prepared and equipped to navigate through this turbulent and hopefully short lived crisis and we endeavour to the best extent possible, to minimize the negative impact on our employees and clients.
