Lead Capture & Client Response Time

Our client, a growing law firm in New Jersey serving a diverse client base, needed reliable bilingual English and Spanish intake coverage to handle increasing call volume. Limited in-house resources were causing gaps, delayed follow-ups, and missed opportunities, particularly with Spanish-speaking callers. Hiring five full-time intake specialists and 2 attorneys locally would have significantly increased payroll due to higher salaries, benefits, and office costs, so our client turned to VirtualStaffing.com.

Two trained bilingual intake VAs were deployed and integrated directly into the firm’s systems, managing calls, qualifying clients, scheduling appointments, and handling follow-ups in both English and Spanish. Within weeks, our client achieved consistent bilingual coverage, improved intake responsiveness, and reduced overhead while maintaining a high-quality client experience.

"Our Spanish response rate skyrocketed. We didn’t realize how many potential clients we were missing until the VAs stepped in."
