Comments on: Attorneys Discuss Virtual Law Practice http://virtuallawpractice.org/2008/12/20/attorneys-discuss-virtual-law-practice/     Practicing law professionally and securely with a web-based virtual law office (vlo) Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:06:00 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jay Fleischman http://virtuallawpractice.org/2008/12/20/attorneys-discuss-virtual-law-practice/#comment-158 Jay Fleischman Sat, 20 Dec 2008 19:31:05 +0000 http://virtuallawpractice.org/?p=220#comment-158 To be clear, I have no problem with a virtual law office. I do, however, take issue with "virtual law firms," "virtual lawyering," and the like. As I said in my post, I don't quite know what to call this new incarnation yet. I suspect that the term will merely be "law firms," lawyering," and the like sans "virtual." It's a marketing tactic to deliver legal services in a new way, a means to reduce costs and increase customer service and satisfaction. Amazon.com is a very real company, they merely offer products and services using a new medium (well, not so new anymore - but still). A good conversation to continue, Stephanie. Thanks for keeping the ball rolling. To be clear, I have no problem with a virtual law office. I do, however, take issue with “virtual law firms,” “virtual lawyering,” and the like.
