a note about risk prevention audits
A risk prevention audit is a mechanism by which Elizabeth A. Alston and the Alston Law Firm assists you in evaluating those areas of your law practice and office procedures which pose an unnecessary risk of malpractice or disciplinary complaints. Included in this service are suggestions for implementing policies and procedures designed to minimize such risks.
The audit process is based upon checklists tailored to your particular situation, as well as interviews of key office personnel. The work involved in conducting an audit includes the preparation of an audit format based upon preliminary information provided by your office, and a visit to your office for the interviews. Following the interviews, and at your option, a report will be generated analyzing the strengths of your office system as well as suggestions for improvement.
Engagement of this firm for the conduction of a risk prevention audit creates an attorney-client relationship, accompanied by the privileges of confidentiality and loyalty.
