White Plains, NY (PRWEB) February 4, 2008 -- Matrimonial and family law attorneys Willem and Margaretha Gravett are trendsetters in the divorce industry. A pair of happily married divorce attorneys, the Gravetts' unique vision and assertive approach has led to the recent addition of an extranet, offering clients 24-7, cutting-edge access to all information and documentation surrounding their legal proceedings.
Extranets bring to the computer a myriad of legal tools and resources, previously inaccessible beyond the confines of a lawyer's office. Once online and securely logged in, clients are granted full access to forms, informational documents and communications from their legal team. Attorneys can create task lists for clients and even mark upcoming deadlines and legal proceedings on a virtual calendar. A message center allows for project updates to be sent while "writeboards" provide a forum for uploading and editing documents. Clients can even go so far as to upload their photo to personalize the experience. This 24/7 accessible technology eliminates phone tag, allows for increased efficiency and serves a workflow management function. Centralizing all related documents and services into an online tool allows clients and lawyers alike to accommodate their demanding schedules and keep up-to-date and on the same page with all the latest case happenings.
"The extranet enables me to be an effective trial attorney without compromising my accessibility," said Attorney Willem Gravett. "I can provide every client with the level of attention, service, and expertise they deserve whether I am in the courtroom, the office, or at home."
Client demand for extranet technology is increasing and has become a deciding factor in which legal team to employ. Likewise, a recent survey by The BTI Consulting Group out of Boston, MA reported that 49% of Fortune 1000 legal departments surveyed want extranets to connect with their law firms. Despite growing interest, few companies or law firms have implemented the technology that Gravett & Gravett offers.
"Adopting the extranet allows us to provide a higher caliber of service tailored to meet each client's needs," commented Attorney Margaretha Gravett. "Proximity and scheduling no longer delay legal proceedings or jeopardize deadlines. Everything is processed with optimum efficiency and the added benefit of increased client-attorney interaction."
Convenience is just one of the many benefits of implementing an extranet. As a result of extranet technology, attorneys and clients are no longer separated by distance, time zones and busy schedules. Each can log-in with their unique user ID and password and access documentation contributed by all relevant parties. They can leave feedback, make changes on a "writeboard" and provide updated deadlines and scheduling information. Communicating via the extranet supplements in-office consultations allowing for timely revisions and eliminating the expense of a courier delivering original documents every time revisions are made. Reduced courier fees and fewer in-office consultations allow clients to receive the same caliber of service with a significant savings.
A valuable web-based tool and an enhancement to the often cumbersome legal process, extranets offer clients a wide array of online tools designed to enhance lawyer-client communication and increase productivity. Bi-weekly status reports allay client concerns that consistent attention is not being given to their case.
"Like everything else Gravett & Gravett does, their extranet makes managing my case so much easier and less stressful," said client Pamela Bristow of Pelham. "The site keeps all important documents neatly organized on my own private page, helps keep billing down - as less calls to the firm are necessary - and drastically reduces the tremendous waste of paper created by the legal process. Many types of businesses can take a lesson from this."
Gravett & Gravett's extranet helps balance a multitude of commitments for attorneys and clients alike, eliminating the scheduling conflicts that often impede efficiency. As a byproduct of Willem and Margaretha Gravett's early adoption of a revolutionary legal technology, constant communication, collaboration and concise completion are just one click away.
