Recent immigration policy shifts have led to an overwhelming surge in inquiries for immigration attorneys. With heightened concerns over deportations and visa challenges, law firms across the U.S. are experiencing increased caseloads and an urgent need to optimize their operations.
For immigration attorneys, the challenge isn’t just about handling legal complexities—it’s about managing client intake efficiently, ensuring no call is missed, and keeping up with case demands. That’s where LexHelper’s virtual paralegal and legal answering services provide a powerful solution.
Maximizing law firm efficiency with virtual legal assistance
The combination of a Lex receptionist to provide 24/7 client communication services and legal virtual assistants including immigration paralegals can help immigration law firms scale their operations without adding overhead costs. Here’s how:
1. Never miss a lead or client inquiry
As call volumes spike due to shifting immigration policies, missing a call could mean missing a critical case opportunity. LexHelper’s legal answering service ensures every client inquiry is promptly handled, with 24/7 availability.
“The month before I signed up with LexHelper, I spent over 400 minutes on the phone. While that only breaks down to about 20 minutes per day, it was really, on average, 10 calls at 2 minutes each that would interrupt my workflow and effect my productivity. I’m now more productive and don’t have to worry about whether I will miss out on a new client because I missed a call.”
Michael Ruttle, California immigration attorney
Our bilingual receptionists can support both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking callers, ensuring clear communication and seamless intake.
Additionally, call screening can ensure higher call volumes don’t result in productivity taking a massive hit.
DID YOU KNOW? 80% of callers who reach voicemail hang up! Don’t let potential clients slip away when you’re busy handling cases.
2. Streamlined intake & appointment scheduling
With call answering virtual assistants handling intake and scheduling of consultations, immigration law firms can efficiently convert inquiries into clients.
