Why use a Virtual Assistant?
The new buzz word is virtual. From virtual games, virtual seminars, virtual phones and virtual everything else, the word is becoming a part of our everyday language. Now virtual has extended to service providers. There are millions of virtual assistants who work for doctors, lawyers, small and large business owners every day. In fact, the latest buzz is virtual bankruptcy assistants who are trained professionals specifically working for debtor bankruptcy attorneys.
Due to increased costs, attorneys nationwide are finding it essential to reduce their overhead in order to maintain a profit. The best way to do this is to hire virtual bankruptcy assistants who are highly skilled and professionally trained in preparing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions and other legal matters, such as personal injury, litigation and other areas of law.
1. With the changes in the new bankruptcy law, the bankruptcy petition is no longer considered a data entry job. Instead, the bankruptcy petition is now at the heart of any bankruptcy practice. Therefore, drafting a well-detailed petition is a high-level skill that now requires professional training that VBAs have.
2. Some attorneys consider virtual bankruptcy assistants (VBAs) to be violators of UPL and refuse to entertain the idea of utilizing their services. But that trend is rapidly changing. Attorneys are now learning that professional legal VBAs are an integral part of a law firm practice.
3. Some attorneys turn away bankruptcy cases every day due to the changes in the new bankruptcy law. With a trained virtual bankruptcy assistant, the process is minimized for the attorney and the law firm profits are increased.
4. Most VBAs have many years of experience and love what they do. The only difference is that VBAs work from home instead of physically in the law firm.
5. VBAs take care of the everyday tasks which allow the attorney more time to grow and expand his/her practice.
6. If you have an internet connection, it doesn’t matter where your VBA is located. All communication is electronic. You now have the freedom to choose from thousands of VBAs and not be limited to your area alone.
