A solo attorney in Miami was stuck doing everything himself for years before Legal Soft was able to hire a full team of support staff to streamline his business. The math was just not adding up for him. Hiring a new in-house attorney would be great, but what he really needed was a team of people to help him manage client intake and screening, handle caseload, document prep, and case prep. With the additional support, he was able to double his caseload without struggling to keep up.

When I was on my own, I was drowning in work but couldn’t afford in-house staff. Hiring virtual team members gave me skilled help, freed my time, and let me double my client base while keeping my personal touch. Now my practice is growing faster than I ever imagined.
