Hi, I’m Teresa Rerko, one of the attorneys here at Quatrini Law Group. I wanted to give you a little more in-depth information about how we would like for you to share your information with us as we work on your case. As you may know, you will have an attorney, a paralegal, and a legal assistant working together as a team to help us make your case strong. Um, no one knows your case better than you do. So, it’s important that you share all of the information that we ask of you. And anything you think we might need to know. Don’t be embarrassed. If it’s something that you uh don’t want to share, we prefer that you share it. It stays with us. If it’s something that’s helpful, of course, we will use it in your case. Um, also wanted to tell you to share that information with your medical providers. That’s crucial. Don’t tell your providers things are going okay when they’re really not. So, it’s important to communicate with us and all of your medical providers. You need to be honest. You need to be thorough as you talk with your medical folks about your symptoms and your conditions. So, not only does it help them to treat you the best way that they can, but it helps us as we obtain their records and we use them in your cases. So try and keep [music] as close communication as you can with us and we will do the same for you as we work through your case. Thank you.
