  • LexisNexis® Estate Practice & Elder Law Center Podcast

    This past month I gave a podcast interview for the LexisNexis® Estate Practice & Elder Law Center about my virtual law office. The session discusses how I provide estate planning services to my clients online as well as how other attorneys are using the web-based technology to deliver legal services in other states. Here is the link to the podcast.

  • Podcast Interview about Virtual Law Offices

    Check out the podcast interview of me that was recorded recently by Ed Poll of the LawBiz Blog.  Ed is an expert in law practice management, and his blog is a wealth of useful knowledge and resources.  On the podcast, he and I discussed virtual law practice, VLOs, and how attorneys are using the technology to deliver legal services to clients online. 

    Ed brought up a good point at the end of our discussion that I thought was worth expanding on in a future post on this blog.  He suggested that virtual law offices might be another possible method of transition for an attorney who is looking to wind down their legal career or sell their traditional law practice.  It’s certainly something to think about as many attorney in our profession are nearing retirement age and are looking for more flexibility in the way that they practice law. 

    Thank you to Ed and LawBiz for giving me the opportunity to share my experience in virtual law practice with others in the profession.

  • Podcast on Virtual Law Practice for The Slippery Slope

    Last week I was interviewed by Meredith R. Miller, Assistant Professor of Law at the Touro Law Center for a podcast on her blog, The Slippery Slope.  During the podcast interview, we discuss the VLOTech software used to create a virtual law practice, the difference between a VLO and a brick & mortar law office, and the benefits of a virtual law practice for the public and the legal profession.  I talk about my own experience operating a virtual law office in North Carolina and about how the trend is spreading to other states.  You may listen to the podcast by clicking on the play button below the blog post for the podcast or by downloading it on iTunes. 

    The Slippery Slope was featured in August as the “New and Notable” audio podcast for the Higher Education section on iTunes (apparently there is not a category for law on iTunes just yet).  If you haven’t subscribed to The Slippery Slope podcast yet, I would recommend checking it out.  The interviews conducted by Meredith are educational and feature interesting individuals and their businesses, such as Aviva Cuyler, the Founder of JDSupra.com, Mark Britton, CEO of Avvo, and Carolyn Elefant of MyShingle.com.
