One thing we have learned from the pandemic is the value and convenience of our increased use of technology. Though in-person meetings are now available, the option of virtual meetings will continue. At Hansen & Hildebrand, we use effective technology tools and offer clients a choice of in-person or virtual meetings. This increases business efficiency, reduces costs, and provides client-centered options. CONSULTING AND SETTLEMENT MEETINGSWe can conduct meetings via video conferencing, which permits audio and visual communication including document sharing on the screen. Clients only need a screen, camera, and speaker. Almost all phones, tablets and laptops are equipped for free video conferencing. DIGITAL FILE SHARINGWe use encrypted file sharing software as a secure and easy way to share documents. This works as a remote file cabinet where clients can both upload and review the documents and files necessary to manage your case. COURT FILINGSAll Wisconsin counties are required to accept court documents by electronic filing. The electronically filed version is considered the “original.” We eFile documents directly from our computers to the court via the court’s secure server E-SIGNINGAll documents can be signed with our firm’s secure e-signature software. We will email you the documents and you can simply sign with a touch screen or by typing your name. COURT HEARINGSMany courts are holding hearings with phone and Zoom video conferencing. If you and your spouse are able to reach agreement on settlement terms, in some counties a divorce can even be granted without a personal, video, or phone appearance. Trials and contested hearings with witnesses are generally being delayed, however. PAYMENTWe accept credit card payments via a secure Internet portal.
