How Wise & Associates Works With Clients
Wise & Associates responds to clients within 24 to 48 hours depending on the issue, and within 24 hours in most cases. Case updates come by phone and email. Attorneys and staff review the status of every case daily, and fees are staged flat fees, so clients are never billed by the hour for calls or questions.
