A recent article in Clio listed the following ways to make more money as a lawyer:
- Stop wasting time with the wrong clients
- Spend time getting better clients
- Work smarter, not longer.
- Spend less money
- Improve your client intake process
- Accept credit card payments to get paid faster
- Hire staff or use cost-effective services
- Use technology to streamline your day
Here at Attorney Services, we can obviously help you with using cost-effective services for staffing needs; our virtual paralegals are here to help!
But we can also help with all of the other items on this list (and more!) For example:
1. Stop wasting time with the wrong clients
We can help you close out these cases so you can focus on the important ones.
2. Spend time getting better clients
We can help you with Marketing!
Legal marketing is the practice of attracting new potential clients to your law firm. This strategy may include a mix of digital marketing, SEO, blogging, print, and digital ads. Whether you need help crafting a marketing plan or you already have one ready to implement, Attorney Services is here to help! Our experienced team of legal marketing experts provide comprehensive marketing services tailored to your individual needs, goals, and preferences so you can focus on serving your clients.
3. Work smarter, not longer.
Working 80 hours per week is meaningless if you are not billing for it. Here at Attorney Services, we are meticulous with our billing, and we can help you be the same way! We provide weekly timesheets to make billing your clients and passing on the costs easy!
4. Spend less money
Attorney Services is designed specifically for attorneys who bill on an hourly basis so that you can pass the costs directly on to your clients.
5. Improve your client intake process
The virtual paralegals with Attorney Services can help you improve your client intake process by drafting or updating client intake forms, assist in preparing engagement letters, and much more!
6. Accept credit card payments to get paid faster
We can help you set up and manage billing programs that accept credit card payments.
You have real problems to solve that create billable hours. It only makes sense to let us chase the line items at the end of the week, so you can focus on growing profitability. Law firm billing and bookkeeping is one of the most important functions of the law firm – it’s what keeps the money coming in and the doors (or website) open.
7. Hire staff or use cost-effective services
As we explain in our blog, “Billing For Paralegal Time Can be a Gold Mine For Your Law Firm”, A virtual paralegal increases your hourly profit while lowering your client’s bill.
Paralegals can bill for their substantive legal work similarly to attorneys, but typically at lower hourly rates than lawyers. In fact, most paralegals bill hourly and directly to clients. Because of this, we have been able to design Attorney Services so that anytime we are working, you as the attorney should be making money. See More in our blog “Pass On the Costs – Paralegal Billing”.
8. Use technology to streamline your day
We can help you with multiple programs that will streamline your day-to-day tasks, saving you time and money.
