The Lawyer Who Tried To Never Sleep - Needs A Legal Answering Service
Once upon a time, there was a lawyer who tried to never sleep. His name was Tom Lawyer. Tom was the best lawyer in town, and everyone in any sort of trouble knew that they should call him for help, lest they suffer the consequences of hiring another attorney. Because of this, Tom’s phone rang incessantly.
At 9 a.m. his phone would ring for a bankruptcy consultation.
At noon, it was a divorce consultation.
At 1 p.m., while he was trying to eat lunch, someone else called because they needed a lawyer for their car accident.
While he was in court, he could hear his phone buzzing!
After he got out of court, Tom’s phone rang again from someone who needed their will drafted.
While he was eating dinner, someone called him because she had received a letter of foreclosure.
Before bed, Tom’s phone rang while he was brushing his teeth – someone had just been arrested for DUI.
Tom’s phone never stopped ringing, and he was happy to help the people in his town, and of course, happy to make money! But there was one thing wrong with Tom’s practice – Tom Lawyer, Attorney At Law, tried to never sleep. He lay awake all night answering phone call after phone call, helping people with their legal matters, performing legal intakes, scheduling appointments, and in summary, performing all of the duties of a legal receptionist.
Tom Lawyer soon grew tired, weary, and his skills faded. He couldn’t argue vehemently for his clients in court. He couldn’t comfort his clients going through a difficult divorce. He couldn’t even bring himself to draft a will! Tom Lawyer was absolutely exhausted, and his phone just kept ringing.
Tom Lawyer finally gave up. He knew it was time to sleep. Tom shut off his phone, turned out the lights, and threw himself into his bed, where he finally gave himself to the long awaited slumber.
When he awoke, it became clear to him that he needed a legal answering service! A powerful call center, fueled by legal intake receptionists, that could field the calls the way he wanted, cater to his clients by making them feel important, and never send a new client to voicemail so that he could continue to make money!
Tom Lawyer, Attorney at Law, called Answering Legal.
Tom Lawyer never missed a new client, kept his existing customers happy, performed his duties as a lawyer better than ever, and slept through the night every night.
The End.
