Additional benefits of using YourLegalMeans
- The bankruptcy petition is now central to the bankruptcy law firm working in debtor bankruptcy. With ongoing changes to bankruptcy law, the bankruptcy petition is no longer a thoughtless data entry job, but rather one that requires advanced critical thinking skills. Drafting high-quality, accurate bankruptcy petitions is a high-level skill that now requires professionalism that YourLegalMeans provides.
- YourLegalMeans specializes in bankruptcy forms processing, which is why the Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions we prepare are highly professional, detailed, and accurate every time.
- Some attorneys turn away bankruptcy cases every day due to the complexities in drafting bankruptcy petitions that conform to current bankruptcy law. With bankruptcy forms processing by YourLegalMeans, you no longer have to turn away bankruptcy clients, because we streamline the process for you.
- Attorneys are discovering that outsourcing bankruptcy petition preparation to a professional bankruptcy paralegal is an integral part of their law firm that saves them countless hours of time, creating the freedom to grow and expand the law firm or other important life events.
- According to one survey, utilizing a bankruptcy forms processing service, debtor bankruptcy attorneys can increase their currently hourly fee by up to 400%!!! (Reference: How to Increase Profits for Your Law Firm, ISBN: 0976159198).
- We never leave your side, and are as close as your office or laptop computer, regardless of where you are located in the world!
- Because of the internet, it doesn't matter where your bankruptcy paralegal is located. All communication is electronic, so you are not limited to only hiring from the local work force and can use the professional bankruptcy forms processing service of YourLegalMeans no matter where your law firm operates.
- Because the virtual bankruptcy paralegals at YourLegalMeans work remotely, rather than inside your law firm, interruptions are removed and greater focus and attention can be given to the bankruptcy petitions we prepare for you, resulting in a higher level of detail, saving you thousands of dollars on mistakes that can become huge problems!
- Law office paralegals are often amazed at how YourLegalMeans relieves their heavy workload. If you so desire, our bankruptcy services can take the place of in-office paralegals and other office staff, but more often our services supplement in-office staff to free them up for other important tasks.
- Unlike with in-house employees, you do not pay us for non-productive time. YourLegalMeans typically charges a flat fee for a particular job, and you will always know your costs up front; there are no hidden or surprise costs.
- We resolve staff "desk overload” issues, as YourLegalMeans reduces the workload of your vital paralegals and other law office staff and personnel.
- Hiring YourLegalMeans helps to eliminate office gossip that is common with salaried in-house employees. This down-time costs your law firm money, and potentially put your law firm’s reputation at risk.
- Do away with the old way of hiring (and firing) and the massive amount of time lost and monetary overhead associated with job postings, job interviews, hiring red-tape, insurance costs and training time involved in getting a new employee productive for your law firm by outsourcing to YourLegalMeans who will work hard on your bankruptcy cases immediately.
- You pay YourLegalMeans just like any other service provider. We never share fees and we work strictly under your sole supervision.
- While most law offices utilize Best Case bankruptcy software, we can draft your bankruptcy petitions in whatever bankruptcy software you are using and forward you the petition data file to seamlessly import into your own computer.
- We can electronically file your bankruptcy cases using your ECF account and bankruptcy software license.
