Use BIFF to Communicate with Your Ex's Blaming, Accusing and Taunting Texts and Emails
This book provides a simple and proven method for lawyers and staff to use in ethically responding to hostile communications, correcting misinformation by others, and initiating productive correspondence. The BIFF Communication method can be used by all law office personnel (paralegals, administrative assistants, receptionists, and others), with 30 sample responses to common situations involving hostile or misinformed emails, text messages, and other forms of communication. BIFF stands for Brief, Informative, Friendly, and Firm.
The BIFF Communication method can also be taught to clients to help them write friendly and concise
responses in their legal cases, saving lawyers time and reducing the escalation of unnecessary conflicts in their cases. This book explains how to
coach office staff, clients and their family members to use the BIFF Communication method,
including ten easy key questions to ask when reviewing their correspondence.
While this method is designed primarily for written communication, this
approach can also be used in verbal conversations, to be efficient and respectful.Ā Ā
The book is divided into five sections:Ā
- Learning the BIFF method
- Correspondence with clients
- Correspondence with colleagues
- Correspondence with staff and between staff
- Coaching staff and clients in the BIFF method.Ā
