A big issue in law and technology right now is client confidentiality:. I take all precautionary measures to protect confidences, and at the same ensure that the client's hardship is clearly outlined to the opposing side.  While being guarded, the client's story must be told to make it known that he/she deserves an award of monetary or other relief.  This is how I achieve cost-efficient results and resolution of  casework in any forum.
