Do Attorneys Need An Attorney Answering Service?
Yes. You wouldn’t recommend that a potential client hire a bankruptcy lawyer for his slip and fall case, the same way that we wouldn’t recommend you hiring an answering service that specializes in medical and wealth managers. When an answering service doesn’t specialize in your immediate field, you do yourself a great disservice by utilizing their services. As an attorney, your needs are very different than a standard message taking service, and employing an attorney answering service can help better cater to your existing clients, and ensure that you capture all new callers and potential new clients.
Emergency Calls and an Attorney Answering Service
Some calls to your office are for an emergency – a good example would be a caller who is trying to reach you regarding a DUI late at night!
