SAN DIEGO, CA, February 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) In working closely with law firms and legal software, legal web design firm Legal Web Experts is reporting an increased trend toward virtual law offices in recent years. A method of delivering legal services from anywhere the client or attorney can access the Internet, virtual law offices are joining a trend set by other industries in taking many primary business functions online.
While a traditional law office requires much face-to-face contact and constant in-person meetings, a virtual law office has the advantage of delivering legal services completely online and over the phone. This is done through an online client portal allowing clients to log in and communicate securely with their attorney. This portal affords the same amount of security as an online bank login, and a similar system (dubbed a "patient portal") is becoming increasingly popular amongst physician practice and hospital websites.
The legal client portal allows for full interaction between client and attorney up through payment transactions. This is not only a more convenient system for clients; the online access means that they can consult with their attorneys and resolve legal matters without leaving home. Many portals also feature legal document storage, filing, legal forms, organization of legal documents, and other services. Clients of virtual law offices can access their legal documents through an online portal with no need to contact their attorney in advance.
The system also has many advantages for law firms. Virtual law firms are often completely paperless, which saves money, space, and has added environmental benefits. They also enjoy lower overhead expenses, more flexible hours and travel considerations, and the ability to reach out to clients in different locations. "Virtual law offices aren't just a new opportunity for law firms who are in the market for more clients," says Ryan Nelson, Director of Operations at legal website design firm Legal Web Experts. "They're a way to increase the quality of your services and improve the way you run your practice." With the growing trend of legal practices leveraging technology to improve and streamline services, Legal Web Experts predicts that the American legal community will see an increasing number of virtual law firms offering accessible, online legal services in the coming years.

Issa Bill Seeks to Fill U.S. Gap in High-Tech Job Readiness
2011-02-17
Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) is once again proposing legislation that would put as many as 55,000 foreign-born students in graduate school programs around the country on the road to a green card.
Issa's "Advanced Degree Visa Bill" proposal is designed to, in his own words, "get smart folks into our high-tech economy." The proposed law acknowledges the relatively small number of American-born students pursuing advanced degrees in math, science, engineering and medicine. The promise of a green card is used as an incentive to foreign-born students to remain in the ...
Income Taxes in Bankruptcy
2011-02-17
This article discusses an unpleasant subject for most people, taxes. As the old saying goes, there are only two things that are certain in life, death and taxes. If you are reading this, you have only dealt with one of those certainties. A question often asked of my Phoenix clients is: "Will a bankruptcy discharge my income tax debt?" The short answer is, maybe. Most people we talk to here in Phoenix, Arizona believe that taxes cannot be dealt with in a bankruptcy. As discussed below, this is not entirely the case.
Most of you are familiar with income taxes. In a bankruptcy, ...
The American Student (F1) Visa Program
2011-02-17
Students around the world who are seeking higher education may be able to study in America by applying for an F1 student visa. The F1 visa is what is known as a "non-immigrant" visa. This type of visa is designed to meet the needs of people who are temporarily visiting the U.S. but do not intend to become permanent residents.
The requirements for student visas are not as rigorous as those for employment-based visas or family visas, but it is still necessary to meet every one of them before a visa application will be granted. Eligibility for a student visa consists of:

Concussions Finally Getting Attention They Deserve
2011-02-17
A concussion is a brain injury that alters the brain's normal functioning, usually caused by some sudden blow to the head. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 3.8 million sports and recreational concussions occur each year.

Employment-Based Visas: An Overview
2011-02-17
American companies sometimes have trouble filling highly specialized positions. Though they may look far and wide for a suitable candidate, it might seem impossible to find a qualified worker. Thankfully, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) -- through its employment-based visa program -- allows companies to expand their search beyond America's shores and literally find the most qualified person in the world to fill their open positions.
Employment-based visas are divided into six categories: EB1, EB2, EB3, EB4, EB5 and Schedule A.
EB1 Visas
