Personal Crisis Support

Serious problems rarely arrive alone. A criminal allegation can trigger employment consequences, a divorce can coincide with a business dispute, an accident can raise insurance, medical and liability questions at once.

Wise Counsel coordinates legal support where several matters arise together, with one lawyer holding the whole picture rather than the client managing separate advisers.

What we help with

• A single point of contact coordinating all the legal issues involved
• Triaging which matters are urgent and which can be sequenced
• Managing the interaction between criminal, civil, family and employment issues
• Protecting assets and income while the situation is resolved
• Advising on what to say and not say publicly and to employers
• Coordinating with accountants, insurers and medical providers as needed
• Discreet handling where the matter is sensitive or public attention is a risk
• Practical support for family members affected by the situation

When several things go wrong at once, the risk is that each adviser solves their part and no one sees the whole. We take responsibility for the whole.
