Benefits of Virtual Law
As technology continues to grow and expand around us, I believe it is important to provide a method for web-savvy clients to have access to legal services. These clients plan their vacations, shop for their groceries, entertain themselves and connect with family and friends online. These same clients expect their attorney to connect with them in this way also.
In the past, my focus has been only on clients geographically near me but by expanding into a virtual law firm, I am now able to extend the reach of my practice all through the State of California.
We are all busy with life’s demands: work, family, bills, etc. So, who really has the extra time to carve out of their day to take care of their estate planning needs? For some, that may also be due to lack of time available to take off work, or just too busy of a work day. By utilizing this “virtual” method, clients can log into a secure portal at their convenience, day or night, to email me with questions, upload needed documents, and finally review and comment on drafts of documents. When everything is as you wish, then I create a final form for you to print, sign and notarize them.
I am looking forward to continue to offer you excellent opportunities and legal advice during this time of transition.
