Marketing & Automation Tools for Attorneys
Working with attorneys over the years as a client and a consultant, I understand their busy schedules. Realizing the challenges Law Professionals face, I began searching for solutions that would help streamline processes at an affordable cost. Below are two challenges that I have come to my realization.
First Challenge - Keeping Track of Prospective Clients and Automating Communications
Seeing how some law firms accept calls is outdated and insufficient. I know of a few attorney offices allowing their assistants to use personal cell phones to receive weekend calls. In hindsight, this may be an acceptable way to run your Law Practice, but a few questions come to mind doing it this way.
- What if the phone is not answered? Does it go to voicemail? When will that prospect hear back from the Law Office?
- Does the office assistant or attorney have a CRM right in front of them when the phone rings?
- How efficient is taking proper notes while at home with your family?
Imagine receiving a call from a prospect you could not answer, and immediately after the call, your customer gets a text saying that someone will be contacting them soon. In addition, that call gets logged into a CRM system, creates an email, and adds a task to call back completely automated.

Second Challenge - Paper Files, Insufficient Paper Handling, and Paying for Outdated Software
Mapping out your paper process is essential to visualize the spending and time spent on working with documents. The inefficiencies I have noticed over the years are:
- Searching for documents in file cabinets and banker boxes
- Paying for offsite storage
- Manually processing invoices and client files
- Paying an obscene amount of money for outdated software (monthly and yearly for support)
- Challenges of scanning documents into the system
What if you could automate your document process and save money at the same time?
