The majority of attorneys who responded to a recent New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) online survey said their practices have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of the 93% who reported the pandemic was causing an impact, more than 60% said the impact was significant and nearly 33% said it was moderate.
The attorneys reported they have been affected in a range of ways, including financial hardship because of a drop in clients and clients' inability to pay; difficulty adapting to working from home; difficulty conducting legal work because of the physical shutdown of the courts; and the stress and strain to their mental and physical health and that of their staff and clients.
