Honored eight times. Partners Katherine A. Montgomery and Srinoi G. Rousseau of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP, have been designated again as Northern California Super Lawyers.
We haven’t been spending our time updating our web site, but we are working hard for our clients and their loved ones. We’re a group of people who believe in keeping the high cost of legal representation as low as possible.
We have a new conservatorship client, who hired us in place of their previous counsel. We were shocked to see the fee request that attorney submitted, and was awarded by the Court. It was in the neighborhood of $33,000 to establish an uncontested conservatorship and settle the first account. If we charged those types of fees, it would make it impossible for us to sleep at night. We charge a fraction of that outrageous fee and feel it is a duty and responsiblity to save the money for the care of the conserved person.

Honored again. Partners Katherine A. Montgomery and Srinoi G. Rousseau of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP, have been designated as Northern California Super Lawyers. Katherine and Srinoi have been included each year, beginning in 2008.
We haven’t been spending our time updating our web site, but we are still here, with our heads down, working hard for our clients. We’re a group of people who believe in keeping the high cost of legal representation as low as possible.
One small example: we make extraordinary efforts to settle a matter on the first date scheduled by the Court (the alternative is known as “continuing” a hearing, and puts it off to a later date, usually 6 weeks in the future). This may seem a trivial thing, but it avoids hourly charges to our clients for traveling to a hearing, waiting for the case to be called, appearing before the Judge, and traveling back to the office. In order to accomplish this, we strive to have our petitions “pregranted” by the Court, i.e., the Court finds no issue with the petition and issues the Order without the costly necessity of an appearance. In the cases where the Court does have questions, they typically make those known a day or two before the hearing. Rather than continue the hearing, we drop everything and draft a “clearing declaration” to address the Court’s concerns, get our client’s signature on it, and file it with the Court, usually on the same day. This is just one of the many ways we strive to protect the interests of our clients — both legal and financial.

Introducing Deirdre O’Connell
Posted by CRM,LLP under losr People, zcrm PeopleComments Off on Introducing Deirdre O’Connell
pon your first contact with our firm, you will speak with Office Manager Deirdre O’Connell. She will gather the basic facts about your legal concerns and the names of the people involved, in order to determine if we are the appropriate legal advisor for you. If we are a good match she will schedule a meeting with the appropriate attorney, tell you how to prepare for the meeting and what documents would be helpful to bring. If we aren’t an appropriate match, she will try to provide you with referrals and online resources. There is no charge for your conversation with Deirdre, but please choose a time to call when the conditions are optimal for you, for example, when you won’ t be rushed (allow 15-30 minutes), are in a distraction-free environment, and if at all possible, can call from a land line for the best connection quality.
Deirdre speaks with over 400 callers each year in this process and is remarkably suited to the task. She has an exceptional memory, tremendous compassion and empathy for the needs of our clients, and a well developed problem solving ability that she attributes to being the youngest of a large family. New clients often comment on how helpful she was when they first contacted our office.
Deirdre is a 1980 graduate of Yale University, where she majored in Political Science. She has managed law offices since 1988, and has worked with Priscilla Camp since 1991. She describes herself as a “people person”, and enjoys conversation, especially if it leads to helping someone move toward solutions. Her notes and suggestions are tremendously helpful to the attorneys as they begin working with new clients.
