LITWINIUK & COMPANY UPDATE – COVID-19 – Your safety is important to us.
We know that many of you are concerned about Coronavirus (COVID-19) and we share your concerns. Even though Alberta Health Services currently rates the risk of exposure to COVID-19 as low, we want to be proactive and take effective action to limit the potential spread of the virus. The situation is changing quickly, and we are watching closely.
We are continuing to see clients in person for consultations and other meetings however, at this time, we will be offering phone consultations for all new bookings. We will also contact anyone booked for in-person consultations and offer a phone consultation as an alternative. Questionings and mediations will continue as normal so far as it is practical and possible, including practicing social distancing, video and telephone options to protect the safety of our team. Courts remain open, and we will be monitoring the Alberta Courts website for updates. At Litwiniuk & Company, we have many technological options that allow our team to work remotely and continue to meet the needs of our clients. The members of our team are well-prepared to work from home with little to no disruptions to our daily operations. Currently, our office remains open during regular hours by appointment only, and access will only be possible with the assistance of one of our team members.

These are proactive measures, and similar procedures have been very successful in Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea in containing the spread of the virus. In those countries, there are encouraging signs that life is getting back to normal. We will get through this challenge by working together, remaining calm, following evidence-based advice and, above all else, staying true to our commitment to you, the client.
At Litwiniuk & Company we always want to be a place you can reach out to no matter the situation. If you have any questions or need to reschedule an appointment, please do not hesitate to give our office a call or send us an email.
Stay safe,
Your dedicated team at Litwiniuk & Company
