Message Taking For Lawyers

If you run or even work for a law firm that doesn't employ a host of full time legal receptionists for message taking, you probably know that messages are not being returned. In fact, you may have taken some messages for yourself. Unfortunately, if someone is not trained in taking messages, the details may be garbled. This is doubly true in the legal profession, as message taking for lawyers needs to be detailed and succinct in order to best let the attorney know who the caller is and what the call is regarding. Messages that are unclear may result in the attorney calling back a potential client and not being able to close the client because of an unclear message. With that in mind, here are some key ways that the message taking services that a legal answering service such as Answering Legal provides can benefit your law firm.

How Answering Legal Can Take Messages For Law Firms Of All Sizes

Answering calls and taking messages can be quickly forgotten in the hectic running of a law firm of any size. This is especially true if you are rushing through the day at your law firm or have a large load of casework at hand. It's always bad business to neglect a customer's callback because of a mishandled message and it can look bad if you are trying to capture new business or recapture old business with the wrong information. In fact, a live answering service such as Answering Legal can provide message taking services and deliver the messages to you immediately via email, text message or eFax.

The way that a legal answering service such as Answering Legal provides message taking services is simple.

If a call comes in during hours of availability that you have specified, the team of virtual receptionists will let you know exactly who is on the line, whether its a new potential client, existing customer, or corporation that you already do business with. If you would like to take the call, the virtual receptionists will be able to connect you or someone relevant in your law firm. Otherwise, they will take a detailed message and be able to send you everything you need in a timely manner to capture new business or fulfill legal obligations to existing clients.
