The Secret Weapon That Saves Lawyers Tons of Money

So, here you are. You’ve now expressed a minor interest in learning how to save money for your law firm. So what is this secret tool that lawyers are using to save money, grow their business, obtain new clients, and finally break free from the shackles of answering the ever-ringing cell phone that you forward your office line to?
“So… What’s the secret?”
Well the short version is:
We are. Answering Legal is a multi-faceted law office weapon, equipped to take down your competitors and help your law firm flourish by capitalizing on every single call to your office.
How do we do it?
Easy. We answer your calls 24 hours a day. But we don’t ONLY answer your phones. We train our virtual receptionists to perform legal intake, dispatch calls, answer FAQs, and virtually ensure that every potentially new client caller converts to a new client for your business.
“That sounds great… but how does that save me money? That sounds expensive!”
Not at all. In fact, Answering Legal is a mere fraction of the cost of your expenses right now, and even in addition to your current expenses, we can save you money. Here’s a detailed breakdown of HOW we can save you money, and an estimate of JUST HOW MUCH YOU CAN SAVE.
- Your Current Receptionist Costs
- The Additional Benefits an Answering Service Provides
- Increase in New Client Leads and New Client Retention
- The Absolute Nullification of Opportunity Costs and Lost Revenues
Your Current Receptionists Costs:

Your current receptionist is costing you approximately $50,000 a year.
This estimate only includes the small salary of $34,000 a year. Add on time off, pension, healthcare, disability, 401k, social security, and bonuses, and you’re looking at an easy $50,000.
“But my receptionist is already doing a great job, I don’t need any more help.”
Yes, we’ve heard some nightmare stories, but for the most part, your receptionist helps you with answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, and performing new client intakes. But here’s the thing: he/she is not perfect. You know it, they know it, and we know it. They need days off, breaks, and sometimes have bad days.
That’s why you need Answering Legal
We don’t take breaks, sick days, and we never have a bad day - in fact, we never have a bad phone call!
Here's some money you save when you use Answering Legal

Need More Ways That Answering Legal Saves You Money?
Here’s another way increase your profits, and downsize your practice at the same time!
By downsizing your firm, you might expect not to be able to handle the same caseload that you had been handling previously. However, this is simply not the case. By using a legal answering service like Answering Legal, you can still pick and choose which cases you would like to take, and can effectively manage your practice without having to hire a receptionist to answer the phone, or answer it yourself!

We bet you never thought downsizing could be profitable and easy.
Since you would be downsizing, it would seem near impossible as a solo practitioner to handle the phones, meet with clients, and appear in court, but with Answering Legal, you only have to do what you do best, without answering the phone to speak to new clients! This way, at your leisure, you can call your new customers back and help them with whatever problem they are calling you about.
Answering Legal is completely free to try
By signing up you get 10 days for free, absolutely every feature, and zero commitment. If for whatever reason you don’t enjoy the service or find it doesn’t work for you, you pay zero dollars.
However, it is our sincere belief that you will find, like thousands of other attorneys across the country, that Answering Legal is the best thing that ever happened to your practice, you will save a ton of money, and you will capture every lead, improving your bottom line.
