Delay
Within one to three business days after the closing letter or final document is available.
Reply owner: Family-law client coordinator responsible for document access, closing tasks, feedback suppression, and attorney escalation.
- Verify attorney-approved closure, final document version, remaining tasks, portal access period, and recipient authorization.
- Insert secure document access, concrete administrative instructions, and a private help path.
- Send once and route reopened issues, legal questions, access failures, or sensitive feedback to the legal team.
Stop conditions
- Stop if the matter reopens, duties remain unresolved, identity is uncertain, or counsel withdraws closing approval.
- Stop referral or feedback automation after any response, suppression request, or complaint.
- Stop and escalate any request for post-closing legal advice or report of a new deadline or safety issue.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Calling the case completely finished based only on a CRM stage
Post-order dates, implementation tasks, or appeal periods may remain.
Use instead: Require attorney approval and defer to the closing letter.
- Requesting a detailed public review
Public details can expose children, finances, or family conflict and may implicate advertising rules.
Use instead: Offer a private feedback channel or a neutral referral link approved by the firm.
- Accepting a referred person's story through the former client
It creates privacy and conflict-check problems.
Use instead: Ask the referred person to contact the firm directly through the intake process.
