Lost Client: A potential new client calls your office. You’re in a meeting, at the court house or talking on the telephone. After being greeted by a recording they hang-up and call another attorney. Contacting an attorney for the first time is a very emotional and stressful time for non-attorney’s. Your precious dollars in advertising, education, training and state of the art equipment continue to be under-utilized.
How to Get Clients: New clients are the Life-Blood of a growing law firm. The potential new client then calls a different attorney. Your competition is also out of the office, but when the phone rings it’s answered by a cheerful, professional receptionist. “Law Office of _______. This is ______. How may I help you?” The key word is help. After this friendly person answers, she obtains the caller’s name, telephone number and brief message. Next, She calls your mobile phone and provides you with a 5 to 10 word “Snap-Shot” of the potential new client call. With your permission, she then presses a button on her computer keyboard and the caller is connected to you…the legal expert. Together we (you the legal expert + Business Connections receptionist), just turned a caller into a NEW Client. While many Law offices hide behind voicemail and email, you can beat the competition by responding to potential new client calls immediately.
All of the information that you supply us about your law firm instantly appears on our computer screen; exactly how to answer, what information to take, what information to give out and how to handle your calls.
Instantly receive messages via text message to your mobile phone. After reading the message, tap the telephone number on the screen and you will be connected to the caller.
We’ll also email a copy of the message to your office just in case you want to save a copy in your clients file. If the call is urgent (i.e. potential new client, Judges Quarters Calling, Court, etc…), we direct connect the caller to your mobile phone.
We’re web enabled and can access your website to assist your callers.
We can “Hand-Off” callers to your confidential voicemail… “I can take a message, or would you prefer his/her confidential voicemail?” You will receive an email with an attachment. From your computer or smart mobile phone DOUBLE CLICK the attachment and over the speakers you will hear the caller’s message.
Let’s face it, your advertising dollars work 24 hours a day. Why not have your potential clients greeted 24 hours a day? If you want to start growing your law practice call Business Connections at 1-866-601-6115.
How an Attorney Answering Service Works for Legal Firms?
So, just how does our service work? The process is quite simple and easy to set up. In fact, it can all get summed up in just three simple steps:
Step One

Our telephone receptionists will greet your callers in a polite and professional manner. Thanks to the technology we’ve invested in, your callers will assume that we work for you in your office.

Why You Need an Exceptional Law Firm call Answering Service
New clients are the life blood of a growing Law Firm. One might assume that the simplest solution is to just set up voicemail service on your office phone lines. Unfortunately, facts are stubborn and it’s been proven that people will likely hang-up on a machine when facing an emotional issue. If a potential new client calls, it could be that “Case of a Lifetime” and they might keep calling law offices until they reach a friendly voice who can connect them to a legal expert. One quality call that we help convert to a new client will pay the answering service fee for months and sometime years in the future. Business Connections receptionists know the industry well. Our most popular plans range from $45 to $250 per month.
