Law 2.ooooooooooooooooooooh. Why so great?
Why develop an online law practice?
Recall Jeff Goldblum as Ian in Jurassic Park: “Your scientists were so pre-occupied with whether or not they could they didn’t stop to think if they should.” I’m not suggesting we should not practice online, but I do know folks (especially folks like me who love to discover “look what this software can do”) who get so caught up in making it work, watching it work, and telling how it works that we forget to talk about why we’re doing it. I would invite some folks who have their “boots on the ground” in the cutting edge of online law practice to tell/remind the rest of us of the many benefits and opportunities this venue makes possible.
Enter Grant Griffiths and Stephanie Kimbro. Grant has developed an exceptional expertise and following in the legal blogging world. (If you’re here you likely already know this, but…) He is Home Office Lawyer, Home Office Warrior and G2WebMedia, among other things. Stephanie is a North Carolina attorney and catalyst who provides legal services online via Kimbro Legal Services. Stephanie has worked with G2 to develop the website and blog at VLOtech (virtual law office technology) “with the purpose of providing a secure, software as a service, web-based product that connects solo and small firm law practices with the online consumer.”
With the combination of their unique expertise, who better to answer the question, “why so great?” Perhaps you can already imagine some of the benefits to attorney and/or client, but if these two do not delight you with at least one new nugget, I will be very surprised.
So Grant, Stephanie, do tell.
