Maximizing Your Law Firm’s Success
Some of the benefits of using a phone answering service that specializes in helping attorneys are that they understand legal language and can help free up time for your paralegal to tend to other office duties. This will help maximize your billable hours and keep your entire team on track and working more efficiently. For example, take a look at all the tasks a paralegal is responsible for:
- Perform legal, factual, and records research
- Identify relevant judicial decisions, statutes, legal articles, codes and other pertinent material
- Organize, analyze and validate information
- Prepare written reports and correspondence
- Draft legal documents including briefs, pleadings, appeals, agreements, contracts and legal memorandum
- Help prepare legal arguments, applications, declarations and motions
- Check and edit legal forms and documents for accuracy
- Build and maintain databases and files
- Organize and track case files
- Review and monitor new and updated laws and regulations
- Maintain law library
- Coordinate law office activities such as subpoena delivery
- Locate and interview witnesses
- Help with trial preparation including witness lists, exhibits and trial binders
- Assist the lawyer in the courtroom
With so much to do already, having your paralegal answer phones, set appointments, and answer questions can really put them behind in their important day-to-day tasks. Luckily, hiring an attorney answering service can help mitigate this problem.
It would be much more cost effective for your business to have a virtual receptionist service answering your phones, setting appointments, transferring callers to the appropriate team member and transmitting detailed email messages when you are unavailable, in a consultation, or in court.
