Legal Web Design Firm Reports Trend Toward Virtual Law Offices

Virtual law offices are becoming increasingly popular, reports legal website design firm Legal Web Experts.

2011-02-17

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 ...
