Building Relationships
We provide intangible attorney-related services, which do not necessarily resolve a legal issue, but rather benefit our clients by helping to set the client up for success. For example, we can put you or your business in contact with people or other businesses with whom you would like to start a working relationship.
Additionally, we get involved in formative conversations that may one day lead to a professional partnership with our clients and their interested party. Prior to starting his legal career, our principal lawyer Shawn D. Bartley worked in corporate sales and service. This business sales and communication background is an advantage in persuading outside parties to consider our clients' objectives and in creating the foundation for solid relationships.
Advocacy Services
These same attorney intangible skills apply to our advocacy services. If you are facing a legal problem, we can represent your interests and advise you on how to handle the issue in order to avoid further dispute, or to resolve the problem before full legal action is necessary. This can save you time, money and the struggle of a legal battle.
We provide these services in several ways:
- Investigation and research: We gather facts and information pertinent to our clients' issues, then use them to form a strategy in handling the legal matters at hand.
- Meeting/conference representation: We serve as advocates in business meetings and conferences. We help ensure our clients' interests are represented and asserted.
- Private mediation/negotiation: Shawn D. Bartley is skilled in mediation and can both serve as an advocate for clients undergoing mediation or serve as a third-party neutral mediator. His emphasis is in providing long-term mediation services as a means to reach positive win-win solutions to legal issues.
- Coordinated professional services: We work in coordination with other skilled professionals to meet client needs and resolve problems. Sean D. Bartley and Associates has the ability to team with accounting public relations firms, tax professionals, auctioneers and banks to resolve many client concerns. Coordinated services can often result in our clients' success.
We also provide the following attorney concierge services:
- Notary (Notary certificates)
- Contract interpretation
- Intermediary communications (international or domestic)
- Auction sale representation (bidder or straw buyer — international or domestic)
- Observation and evaluation (international or domestic)
- Conflict/crisis management and communication
- Strategic planning
