Solo Practitioners and a Personal Answering Service
Solo Practitioners maintaining the juggling act of marketing their law firms, answering the phones, appearing in court, meeting with clients, and finding time to do anything while the phone is ringing, benefit the most from a personal answering service. You might just be starting up your law firm, or not looking to take on any additional help answering the phones! This does not mean you should not be able to get the support on the phones that you need in order to do the best possible job for your clients.
Meeting With Clients?
Maybe you are in a meeting with a client, and the phone rings. It’s a potentially new client, looking to speak to you about his/her case, but you can not answer the call as you are already in the middle of assisting your existing client. Answering the phone call for a lengthy period of time could be construed as rude, and not answering the phone could cost you that new caller’s business!
Appearing in Court?
Maybe you are in court and have to turn off your cell phone! While your phone is off, potentially new clients may be trying to call you, reaching your voicemail and hanging up. This is another instance that could have been avoided if you had a personal answering service! Answering Legal can answer the calls that you miss, utilizing call forwarding, and fully integrate with your practice. Our legal intake receptionists sound as if they were inside of your office, and handle the calls according to the protocol you establish when signing up with Answering Legal. Legal intake can be performed, existing customers’ messages are sent to you in real time, and everything is 100% customizable.
Personal Answering Service Benefits
Having a personal answering service can help you do what you do best, and help you make even more money by never sending a potentially new customer to a voicemail!
