Answering Legal
Wayne uses Answering Legal to help him answer the calls he can’t, and relies on our service to answer every call personally and professionally – something that is exceedingly important in Wayne’s practice. Wayne Chariff treats every case file as a client and not a file, and clients get to speak to Wayne one on one, and they don’t always have to speak with support staff like they would at other firms. Using Answering Legal is a testament to the standard of care that Wayne Chariff’s firm provides – no clients have to wait to speak to a representative, and no client is ever ignored with a voicemail system.
New Clients
Most of Wayne’s cases come by word of mouth and referral, because Wayne’s firm has done such an excellent job in the past with clients. People, lawyers, and firms alike send cases to Wayne because they know and trust the stellar reputation of his practice.
Web Presence
Wayne’s website aesthetics are very professional and modern, and the content is helpful as well! There are great calls to action throughout the site that entice users to follow his prompts and call in for a free consultation! Free offers seem obvious, but they are an underutilized tool. Check out Wayne’s practice areas page to learn about the types of cases they handle.
Wayne's Hobbies
Outside of work, Wayne participates in a weekly home poker game, spends his weekends in the summer on Cayuga Lake with his family and grandson. They enjoy boating, jet skiing, and being around family! Wayne is an excellent attorney, father, grandfather, and friend! That is why Wayne is this week’s Answering Legal featured attorney!
