At Rostova Westerman Law Group, we believe in the efficient use of technology to increase productivity, ease communication and expedite the filing process. However, we also recognize the limitations of technology and the frustrations that can come with engaging with ChatBots and AI. At our law firm, we promise that all communication and correspondence is with a human touch.
