This book providesa simple and proven method for lawyers and staff to use in ethically responding tohostile communications, correcting misinformation by others, and initiatingproductive correspondence. The BIFF Communication method can be used by all law office personnel(paralegals, administrative assistants, receptionists, and others), with 30sample responses to common situations involving hostile or misinformed emails,text messages, and other forms of communication. BIFF stands for Brief,Informative, Friendly, and Firm.

The BIFF Communication method can also be taught to clients to help them write friendly and conciseresponses in their legal cases, saving lawyers time and reducing the escalation of unnecessary conflicts in their cases. This book explains how tocoach office staff, clients and their family members to use the BIFF Communication method,including ten easy key questions to ask when reviewing their correspondence.

While this method is designed primarily for written communication, thisapproach can also be used in verbal conversations, to be efficient and respectful.

The book is divided into five sections:

Each sample scenario provides a hostilecorrespondence received by the lawyer and/or staff member; then gives a temptingresponse which is not quite a BIFF (analyzed using the BIFF Checker); thengives a communication that is a BIFF.
