Filling Intake Form Twice

Summary

Filling out an intake form twice on a law firms website is generally not considered harassment. Harassment involves repeated, unwanted behavior causing distress. If a law firm doesnt respond to calls, consider alternative communication methods like email, visiting in person, social media, or postal mail. Visiting a law firm without an appointment is usually allowed, but its courteous to call ahead. Filling out forms becomes excessive if done repeatedly in a short period without a legitimate reason.
