Write a Client Case Status Update Email

Prompt
Write a case status update email from a personal injury attorney to a current client.

Attorney name: {{attorney_name}}
Firm name: {{firm_name}}
Client first name: {{client_name}}
Case type: {{case_type}}
Current stage of the case: {{case_stage}} (e.g., gathering medical records, in negotiations, awaiting response from insurance, preparing for deposition)
What has happened since the last update: {{recent_progress}}
What is happening next: {{next_steps}}
Estimated timeline for the next milestone: {{timeline}}
Any action needed from the client: {{client_action}} (e.g., attend a medical appointment, provide documents, nothing at this time)

The email should:
- Start by letting them know you are actively working on their case
- Explain what has been accomplished since the last update in plain English
- Describe the next steps in the process without legal jargon
- Give a realistic timeline estimate with appropriate caveats
- Clearly state if there is anything they need to do
- Invite them to call with questions
- Remind them to avoid discussing the case on social media (if appropriate)

Keep the email to 200-250 words. Tone should be clear, reassuring, and professional. Do not use language that guarantees outcomes.
