(BUT KEEPING OUR SOCIAL DISTANCE)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Childs McCune is open for business, but its attorneys and staff will be primarily working from home. Our email system and phone systems will be working as normal, and all attorneys and staff will have the same access to client files and information at home as they do in the office. We know that our clients are going through challenging times, and we are committed to serving our clients’ needs throughout this period.
