Update (6/29/2020):
Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal is excited to again welcome in-person meetings by appointment only. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.
We continue to adhere to all guidelines regarding masks, social distancing, and screening protocols. These guidelines apply to employees and visitors alike.
In these early stages of reopening, we have limited our conference rooms in number, and determined safe capacity limits for each room. Meetings are only occurring in our conference rooms, and not in our attorneys’ individual offices. Our appointments are scheduled to allow time between each meeting for cleaning. We are asking visitors to arrive no more than 5 minutes ahead of their scheduled appointment to ensure we can complete this cleaning, and to minimize the amount of time spent waiting in our lobby area. Our conference rooms have been configured to allow for social distancing and to minimize touchpoints.
These steps have limited our availability for in-person meetings, but are allowing for a safe reopening. We continue to schedule virtual meetings at your convenience.
We remain dedicated to serving our clients in a safe and complete manner as possible. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Update (6/1/2020):
In March, in accordance with the “Stay at Home” Orders issued by various government authorities, we closed our physical offices. Our virtual office has been and remains open. Our attorneys are here to assist you. Their contact information can be found here.
As these Orders are modified, our top priority remains protecting our clients and staff as we consider the right timing and approach to reopening our offices. Given the information that is available to us now, here is what we want you to know.
Beginning June 1, we are starting a phased-in, rotating schedule approach to bringing our employees back on-site.
Out of an abundance of caution, our physical offices will remain closed to in-person meetings. We will continue to monitor local regulations, guidance and conditions to determine when we will again welcome in-person meetings in our office. In certain circumstances, we may arrange for meetings outside of our offices. We have developed guidelines to limit personal contact based on guidelines from the CDC and state and local governments, that our attorneys will follow.
When we do welcome in-person meetings in our offices, we will continue to adhere to all guidelines regarding masks, social distancing, and screening protocols. These guidelines will apply to employees and clients alike.
We remain dedicated to serving our clients in a safe and complete manner as possible. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Our virtual offices are open. We will continue to have some staff on-site, but the bulk of our services will now be provided through electronic means.

We are advising our clients of any court cancellations as we become aware of them, but if you have any questions about whether your court proceeding, please call or email us. If you have questions about your business operating under Stay at Home Orders, please call or email us.
