A: It is my practice to provide my client with a digital copy of everything we produce and everything we receive. If he cannot receive digital cxopies, then they are mailed in hard copy.

I cannot understand why there is an issue with providing you copies, but if it persists, go to the clerk's office and they can assist you for 10 cents a page
