Laguna Legal is considered an essential business and we are so thankful that we have been able to serve our clients during this unsettling time and keep our amazing employees working. Like many other businesses, we have had several weeks when the phone barely rang, and we are so grateful to our clients for keeping us in mind and the continued support during this time of uncertainty. The pandemic has resulted in some surprising and some not-so-surprising changes in our business.
Surprising:
1) Many people are setting up new corporations despite the government shut down and stay at home orders. The Secretary of State is processing new corporations faster than pre Covid-19.
2) A majority of the court cases scheduled in Orange County civil, criminal and family courts are being continued indefinitely with no update as to when these cases will be heard.
3) The stress of the pandemic and stay at home orders have resulted in a surge of divorces and new divorce requests, but on the other hand we have many clients who have reconciled during this time and their families are closer than ever before.
4) Family Law courts are completely closed and not accepting any new cases. Our new e-filed divorce cases are sitting in limbo until the courts re-open, but we are optimistic that once the Family Law Court does open they will backdate these filings.
Not So Surprising:
1) Many people have been updating their living trust or creating new ones. We believe this has always been on their “To Do” list, but the time at home has given them the push they needed.
2) The Orange County Recorder’s office is only accepting recordings electronically or by mail, lucky for us we are still able to process these recordings for our clients.
Rest assured this pandemic has not affected Laguna Legal’s ability to help our clients. It’s business as usual for us because almost everything we do can be done remotely via telephone, email or regular mail. As you’re sitting safely in your home, we are happy to help you with all of your legal document needs! We also offer zoom for clients who require face to face consultations.
