Nope! You can keep your number.
We will provide you with a phone number to forward your calls to. You choose when and for how long you want calls to be routed to your new team of legal virtual receptionists.
We can! We are happy to provide you with a phone number in your area code or the area code of your choice (depending on availability) for your legal answering services.
You are welcome to provide this number directly to your clients and publish it on your website and anywhere else you choose.Â
For most phone providers, forwarding your phone calls to your new law firm virtual receptionists will be as easy as dialing a code from your phone. If you need help, we are here for you!
Take a look at our monthly plans here.
There sure is!Â
You’ll receive a 5% bundle discount on both plans when you bundle Back Office Betties Legal Answering Service and Virtual Legal Assistant services.
We believe in transparent pricing. Your minutes will never be rounded up.
That means:
If your virtual receptionist takes a call that lasts for 2 minutes and 45 seconds, we record that call as 2.75 minutes and charge you accordingly.Â
If your virtual assistant spends 25 minutes and 30 seconds on a task, we record that time as 25.5 minutes and charge you accordingly.
Additional time is prorated at your plan’s per-minute rate as needed. Discounts are available for higher volume plans.
Plus – You’re not locked into the same plans forever.
For example: if you know you’ll need more time for a project in the future, you can switch to a higher hourly plan temporarily.
Unused time does not roll over month-to-month.
We are happy to help whenever possible. Schedule a free Discovery Call to discuss your options!
