    **Tip!** We recognize that practitioners may feel the need to include all available facts, or even a client’s declaration. However, we have set a character count limit to guide practitioners in identifying the legally relevant facts, rather than overwhelming the request with all the facts. This limit is not meant to restrict, but to support practitioners in isolating the facts that apply to the issue at hand, and to understand your focus when making a request.
    13
    Our standard response time is within 15 business days. However, if you require an expedited response from our team, please indicate the date you would like to receive a response if it is sooner than 15 business days. We also require you to explain why you need an expedited response. Failure to explain the need for an expedited response will result in the request falling within our typical response time.
