Success Stories
Maryland family law attorney Dawn Bowie signed on with VLOTech in 2007 in hopes of using the system to create a service for pro se litigants. Since then, she's discovered that virtual law office technology has much more to offer, and has moved her entire law practice into the VLO. The result: she's saving a significant amount of time and her clients love the added security of communicating through the VLO. Read Dawn's story and others in Success Stories.

New Virtual Law Office Technology Package Feature
We rolled out an exciting new Virtual Law Office (VLO) feature this month. The new "package" feature allows attorneys to create a group of actions typically associated with a particular case type, and to apply that group of actions all at once rather than individually, assign those forms to a client case, add quotes, schedule events and more. If the attorney chooses to make the packages visible to clients, a client may create a new case using a package. Or, the attorney may apply a package to an existing case. Save time on every packaged case type and edit just like you do individual forms.
