Charlene Is a Paralegal with a Mid-Size Law Firm That

Charlene is a paralegal with a mid-size law firm that handles many real estate and zoning matters. Maxine, one of the attorneys at the firm, represents a client with a recycling business and scrap metal junkyard in a commercially zoned area of the city. Yesterday, the client was cited by the city for violation of an ordinance that prohibits unsightly or dangerous accumulation of materials or waste between the street and a property's cinder block wall. The block wall is also required by city ordinance and must be fifteen feet back from the street. The client stated that he is not in violation of the ordinance and that the city wants to condemn his property. Maxine asks Charlene to go to the client's property with a digital camera. Maxine wants her to photograph the property, the street, and the neighboring properties. Charlene is familiar with the city ordinances, but has never considered herself a good photographer and is concerned that her photographs will not be satisfactory for Maxine's purposes. From the answer choices listed below, what is Charlene's best response?

A) Go to the client's property and take the photos of the property, the street, and neighboring properties using her best judgment as to what to photograph and how.
