Virtual Assistant for Lawyers
People call a lawyer when something has gone wrong, and they usually call more than one. If your line rings out while you're in court, that potential client signs with whoever picked up.
Then there's the calendar, the document drafts and clients emailing to ask what's happening with their case. A legal virtual assistant handles intake and admin so your billable hours go to legal work.
What your VA handles
Intake calls
Your VA answers new client calls using your intake script, gathers the facts of the matter, checks it fits your practice areas and books a consultation.
Conflict checks
Before a consult is confirmed, your VA runs names through your practice management system and flags any potential conflict for you to review.
Calendar management
Court dates, filing deadlines, depositions and client meetings go into your calendar in Clio, MyCase or Outlook, with reminders set well ahead of each deadline.
Document preparation
Your VA prepares first drafts from your templates, formats filings, assembles exhibits and organizes discovery so you review instead of type.
Client updates
Clients get regular status updates in plain language, which cuts down on 'any news?' calls and keeps reviews positive.
Billing support
Your VA helps prepare invoices from time entries, sends them out and follows up on overdue balances politely.
A dedicated VA, backed by AI
We pair your VA with AI intake that never sleeps. An AI voice agent or website chat answers after hours, collects the basics of the matter and books a consultation, while clearly stating it can't give legal advice.
Your VA reviews each intake in the morning, runs the conflict check and confirms the appointment. We also build workflows that send engagement letters and intake forms automatically once you accept a matter.
For firms that run on referrals, this setup also protects your reputation. Every caller gets a prompt, professional response, every consultation is confirmed in writing, and nobody waits days to hear back. Potential clients notice that difference before they ever meet you, and so do the attorneys who send you work.
How it works
Getting started is simple. We begin with a short call about where your hours go, then match you with a VA whose experience fits your industry. During the first week they shadow your process, and we write it into a playbook so the work stays consistent even on days your VA is out. You review their work, give feedback, and add tasks as trust builds.
Pricing
Our virtual assistants start at $20 an hour, with a 40-hour minimum to get started. You get a dedicated assistant trained on your business, a written playbook of everything they handle, and one point of contact on our team. AI voice agents, chatbots and workflows are scoped separately based on your volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a virtual assistant for a law firm cost?
Our VAs start at $20 an hour with a 40-hour minimum. Solo attorneys and small firms often find a VA cheaper than one more unbilled evening a week.
Is client information kept confidential?
Yes. VAs sign confidentiality agreements, use secure access to your systems and follow your firm's rules. You decide exactly what they can see.
Can a VA give legal advice to callers?
No. Your VA collects information, schedules and communicates. Any legal question is passed to you, and our intake scripts make that clear to callers.
Which legal software do your VAs use?
Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, Lawmatics, plus Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
How fast can a VA start?
Typically one to two weeks. We build your intake script and calendar rules first, because those make the biggest difference right away.
