00:12 | - This is Aaron, how may I help you?
|
00:14 | - Hi, Aaron, this is Dorothy.
|
00:17 | You represent my mom in a lawsuit and I don't really even know how to say this, but my mom unexpectedly passed away last night.
|
00:27 | - I'm so sorry to hear that, Dorothy.
|
00:29 | My condolences to you and to your family.
|
00:32 | When are the services scheduled?
|
00:35 | - No, her passing was very unexpected, and so we don't have the services set up yet, but my mom had mentioned that there was something going on in the case.
|
00:45 | - Things are happening in the case.
|
00:46 | In fact, we have mediation that was scheduled to take place tomorrow.
|
00:51 | Your mother and I prepared extensively for it.
|
00:53 | And, frankly, I think we're really close to a settlement.
|
00:56 | This obviously puts things up in the air though.
|
00:59 | - Oh, well, I know this case was important to mom.
|
01:02 | I know she really wanted to resolve it.
|
01:04 | I, you know, can, maybe I can attend?
|
01:07 | Or, better yet, I mean, you're the lawyer, can't you just handle it before mediation?
|
01:12 | I really wouldn't want this case to be compromised if the other side found out that my mom had passed.
|
01:17 | - I don't know, Dorothy.
|
01:18 | I really do apologize and I'm so sorry for your situation, but I'm gonna have to look into this and get back to you.
