How Per Diem Attorney Services Work

A Simple Process for Attorneys Who Need Coverage

At Sugarman Law P.C., we know how demanding it is to manage a busy law practice. Court appearances in Suffolk and Nassau Counties can overlap, and clients need representation even when you cannot be there yourself. That’s why we offer dependable per diem attorney services.

 

Our process is straightforward. We make it easy for you to request coverage, receive confirmation, and get a clear report after the appearance.

Step 1: Request Coverage

Attorneys reach out to us by phone or email to check availability. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible, but we also accept same-day requests when our schedule allows.

 

When you request per diem coverage, please provide:

 

  • Court location and time

  • Case caption and index number

  • Type of appearance (motion, conference, hearing, etc.)

  • Any specific instructions

Step 2: We Confirm Availability and Rates

Once we receive your request, we confirm our availability and provide the applicable rate. Our fees are clear and communicated upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 3: We Appear on Your Behalf

Our attorneys appear in Supreme Court, District Court, or Surrogate’s Court on your behalf. We arrive on time, handle the matter as instructed, and represent your client with professionalism.

Step 4: Receive a Clear Report

After the appearance, you will receive a report outlining the outcome. This ensures you can update your client or continue with the case without delay. Attorneys who use our services value this consistency and communication.

Planning for the future is more than just preparing documents — it's an opportunity to leave a meaningful legacy.

Our Free Ethical Will Planning Guide is designed to help you communicate your personal values, life lessons, and heartfelt wishes to your loved ones. Unlike legal wills that distribute assets, an ethical will is a deeply personal document that offers guidance, wisdom, and reflections that your family and friends can carry with them for years to come.

This guide walks you through how to express what's most important to you — your beliefs, hopes, advice, and the stories that shaped your life. It’s more than planning — it’s a lasting gift to those you care about most.
