LAW FIRM OFFICE SERVICES AND AMENITIES
No other company offers full-fledged office programs specifically designed for attorneys by attorneys. The Law Firm Office Programs include whatever flavor of Virtual Office Program you like, with the following amenities
In-Office Phone Usage
Computer Use
Compare the pricing competitiveness of computer usage with computer usage rates offered by “Business Centers” at places like Kinkos. Our rates are better, with programs specifically designed for lawyers. We have full windows office suite, WordPerfect, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Design Suite - Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. We also offer a video editing program, HotDocs and many others.
Our computers are state-of-the art Dell systems. Each office has dual monitors for the most efficient work possible. Computer usage includes high-speed internet usage. You have printing capability to your personal in-office HP printer, plus an HP color printer at an extra cost (see printer costs). You operate on a Windows XP Professional format in a hard drive independent of our network system. The computers are provided with Window Suites software (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc), as well as WordPerfect.
For additional modest charges we pass along from our IT provider, we can do the following:
1. partition the hard drive to give you your own fully-protected space for storing documents on the computer.
2. Setup an email account through Outlook.
3. Setup remote computer access, so that you can access your own hard drive from home.
Our large conference room is provided with a full 60" large screen computer system, with wireless keyboard and mouse, and in-conference printer, for presentations to clients of their documents, for example. The small conference room has a 27" monitor and computer.
The above rates cover IT support costs, which keep our computers running smoothly every hour, every day, in addition to providing 4x redundant backup systems, including off-site storage for documents.
