    The reply Jordan received

    Hi Jordan,

    Thanks for contacting Harbor Family Law. I'm the firm's automated intake assistant, so you get a reply right away, even after hours.

    To check whether the firm can help and to book you a consultation, could you tell me:
    1. Which county you live in
    2. Whether there is an existing court order about custody
    3. Roughly when the separation happened
    4. Whether any court dates are coming up

    Reply here and I'll take it from there.

The problem

Most inquiries wait too long

Not a law firm. IntakeMinute does not give legal advice. Replies collect details and book a consultation with your firm; they never advise on a case.
