The past month has absolutely flown by. Zac and I have been in hustle mode since he said yes and got the ball rolling to open Privott Law. Even our "fun time" has been made into epic high energy time. I know that many of our friends and family are looking forward to hearing about the new office, so that is exactly what this post is for. :-)
The Brand:
Ta-Dah!! After lots of different designs, tweaks, suggestions from friends and a few more designs... Zac settled on this logo.
We decided to go with a "P" in the box instead of the "Z" for two reasons:
1) We are registered as the Privott Law Firm L.L.C.
And...
2) Zac's website is www.privottlaw.com.
We just felt the "P" was going to better serve our brand.
The Office:
Next was to get the office in order. We are very thankful to David Ball for allowing us to use his Chandler office space as we get started and we know the relationship with him is going to be very helpful and mutually beneficial. He already had some furniture in the space, so we used what he had provided and also added a few other functional pieces.
It is a one room space so we had a bit of a challenge to create separate areas within the single room. I used all the knowledge I learned from Richard in "Theater Design & Tech 2184" and built an accordion divider to break the room up a little bit. It took WAY longer than I expected, but I think it was worth it. Here is what the office looks like now:
How's it Going to Work?
Some people have asked me if I'm quitting Blazing Rock to work with Zac or if I'm keeping my office at our home, or how all that is going to shake out.
My answer is a little bit "yes" and a little bit "no." I am definitely NOT quitting Blazing Rock. I've talked with my continual clients and they are aware of the upcoming move and have been very gracious and encouraging as Zac and I have spent the last couple of week working on his office full steam.
I am planning to bring my laptop, hard drives and notebook to the office each morning with Zac. I will be a Front Desk/Bookkeeping Assistant/Office Manager while still completing projects with Blazing Rock. It is taking some getting used to, but I think this will be a good fit for now. It will be helpful to Zac and I'll still be able to devote much of my attention to my editing projects.
What Type of Law:
Another popular question for Zachary is, "What type of law will you be practicing?" The short answer is, "mostly Civil Law."
The long answer is, "We will start out by taking a wide range of cases so that Zac can get some more experience in many different types of civil law." Some buzzword examples are: Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts, Family Law, Domestic Problems, Custody and Adoptions, and many others that I haven't mastered yet.
Zac is also looking into the licensing needed to handle Bankruptcy and Foreclosure representation as well as Tax Law and issues with the IRS. Those will be in the future if he decides it is something that interests him. They require licensing with the federal court.
Still Setting Up:
We have an address:
Zachary Privott, Attorney at Law
820 Manvel Ave, Suite C
Chandler, OK 74834
We have an office phone number:
(405) 258-3020.
Feel free to call anytime! Even if it's just to say "Hey! You have a phone number!!" I will most likely be the one answering, so I'd enjoy hearing from you!
We have a website and office email address:
www.privottlaw.com
zachary@privottlaw.com
We have Letterhead and Envelopes:
We were able to order business cards that should be here next week! Finally, the Branding Nerd that lives in my head will be able to stop wringing her hands and stressing me out.
We are also waiting on a few hang-ups in getting the rest of the office equipment and software that we need. But that doesn't mean there is nothing to do...
Already Working:
Zac has already met with clients and is knee-deep into working on some cases. I can't say enough about how thankful we are to Mr. Ball for his refferals! (He had two clients waiting on us to get in the office!) And as soon as we get our own advertising out there and let people know we are in the area we are looking forward to sending him all of the cases that fit his expertise. :-)
Proud Wife:
Earlier this week Zac got to be involved in an emergency custody case. It was a hectic day to say the least, with most of Zac's time being spent across the street in the courthouse than here behind his desk. It was a situation where an unfortunate event happened while a child was with one parent and the other parent jumped at the opportunity to get the child taken away.
I had no idea how much working in a law firm as an assistant would pull at my heart. Watching my husband exhaust his resources for advice, make the best assessments and calls that he can make and fight for this person's right to be involved in their child's life made me so very proud.
I hurt for those involved in the situation, especially the child. We are making a point of praying for Zac clients. A lot of our prayers are that Zac would have wisdom in representing them and seeing that justice is upheld for each person. But yesterday we also prayed for this kiddo and his broken family. I am so proud of my husband for taking the case, standing up for what is right and doing his best to protect and stand for both his client and the child involved.
I am looking forward to this new and exciting chapter of our lives. I am in a state of continual learning about working in a law firm and am ready to follow my husband as he follows the Lord wherever we are useful. We sang this song in church on Sunday and it has resonated with me throughout this week:
"Never once did we ever walk alone.
Never once did you leave us on our own.
You are faithful God, You are faithful."
Thanks for reading!

When you walk in you a greeted by a friendly someone who (hopefully) smiles a lot.
Said friendly someone will probably invite you to have a seat and fill out the unavoidable paperwork. Mr. Thinker knows how you feel.
Next you will pass through the "hallway" towards Zachary Privott, Attorney at Law. Mr. Thinker's friend, Atlas, guards all who enter here.
Finally you will arrive at the desk of Zachary Privott, Attorney at Law.
As you can see he stays hard at work even when clients are not present.
