What a Virtual Legal Assistant
Does in the Intake Process​
Your virtual legal assistant is a law graduate, paralegal, or experienced legal support professional who understands terminology, case sensitivity, and accurate documentation; therefore, intake responsibilities may include:
1
This stage includes responding to inquiries and missed calls promptly; in addition, using approved scripts for consistency, identifying urgent matters, and, as a result, confirming conflict checks before scheduling.
2
This stage includes scheduling consultations based on availability; additionally, it involves coordinating across time zones when needed, while also sending confirmations and calendar invites, and finally managing reschedules or cancellations.
3
This stage includes gathering case details and client information; then, entering data into your system, securely uploading documents, and, as a result, flagging missing or incomplete information for follow-up.
4
This stage includes monitoring leads and consultation status; in addition, sending reminders before appointments, following up with unconfirmed prospects, and, as a result, tracking declined or deferred cases.
