As a side note to my most recent post on Outsourcing in the Law Office, over at Home Office Warrior we have a blog in our network called Home Office Virtual Assistant. Tina Hilton at Clerical Advantage is doing an outstanding job providing all kinds of information concerning using a virtual assistant.


I am also a member of the AAVBA. Working at home allows myself more time to schedule everyday life events as needed. Yet I am able to work with great attorneys! The work is I believe better quality than the regular 9-5 person puts out due to the fact that I am comfortable in my work enviroment, and have no distractions from other employees, or clients walking in. I can stay focused on the "meat and potatoes" of the schedules and notify the attorney of "red flags" that may be an issue.

Good stuff. Keep it coming, we really read your posts. I wish I had an arsenal of legal assistants like the one above but if you ever want free labor in exchange for some of your services, let me know. I have a nice team of great people.

I was very excited to see this latest post about Virtual Assistants. I am an AVBA (Accredited Virtual Bankruptcy Assistant) and have been serving licensed bankruptcy attorneys nationwide preparing consumer Chapter 7 bankruptcy petitions. Technology today offers secure means to communicate and share information – virtually from anywhere and available just about 24/7. As an active member of the AAVBA (American Association of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants) this is a discussion all practicing VA’s and attorneys alike can benefit from to better understand current issues and concerns, from both sides of the virtual fence. I look forward to future posts!!
Best,
