Running a law practice requires a lot of help: an accountant, an insurance agent, a mentor, and maybe even a partner or an associate attorney, but do you really need a paralegal? There are times when a paralegal may be necessary. Here are a few scenarios in which your firm may need the services of a virtual paralegal.

As a solo practitioner or boutique law firm, you will undoubtedly be in a courtroom two to three times per week. If you’re in court: when will you have time to hold your clients’ hands through the discovery process? Chances are high you will not be able to be in two places at once. Consulting with a virtual paralegal can provide you with affordable case-by-case solutions to help you gather, assemble, and file your client’s responsive answers and documents in a timely fashion.

Whether you are a solo practitioner or boutique law firm, you will have to meet with clients. But that does not mean you have to do it alone. Best Virtual Paralegal has been offering virtual/ video conferencing with its supervising attorneys and their clients since before 2003.

You as the attorney can start the meeting by speaking to your clients about fees, and legal issues. Once, you finish a paralegal via video feed can close the session by gathering, collecting, and interviewing your client for the facts of his or her specific case details. These virtual intakes are similar to the in-house intakes of the late 1980s, early 1990s with a twist of technology.

Time management is hard to maintain when you’re a lawyer. There are aspects of your career you can never prepare for well-enough. Drafting your own pleadings, motions, and other documents isn’t hard — the hard part is finding the time to do it. Having a virtual paralegal on contract with your office can eliminate you having to draft your own pleadings, motions, and other documents. All you should have to do is review the final or draft work product to ensure it purports with the specific legal requirements.

Again, it’s tough to be in two places at once not to mention— research tools are expensive. If you have a lot of issues that require research, a virtual paralegal can assist you.
