WHAT IS VIRTUAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION?

Virtual legal representation is a process in which a lawyer provides legal services to clients using video calls, emails, phone calls. and mail.

Recent developments in both technology and California Supreme Court ethics rules has allowed law firms to serve clients using these modern digital tools. We at Yu & Yu Law have been doing this for many years with success, and we are confident you will find virtual legal representation superior to traditional methods.

Please continue reading to see the benefits of virtual representation, if it is the right fit for you, and why we recommend it for most clients.

  • The benefits of virtual representation are numerous:

    1. Time saving — you do not have to drive to an office building physically to meet with your lawyers. With traffic, parking, and unexpected circumstances that may arise, setting up a virtual meeting saves a lot of time.

    2. Money saving — at Yu & Yu Law, when we meet with our clients virtually the time saved allows us to help more clients, which makes it possible for us to offer everyone a lower fee rate.

    3. More secure — making hard copies and bringing certain documents to a physical location can be more of a risk than sending files via secured e-mail servers.

    4. Overall efficiency — legal matters are often complex and there is a lot of document exchange and information clarification required. Handling matters virtually increases overall efficiency and cases are resolved more quickly.

  • No, you do not have to video chat. We serve our clients according to their preferences and proceed in the manner the client wants to.

    In-person meetings are always welcome. What we found, however, is most clients simply prefer the convenience of getting matters done at the comfort of their home over phone and email rather than setting up in-person meetings and driving in to a formal law office.

  • We have helped thousands of clients without meeting in person. As long as you are comfortable using your e-mail, I have high confidence that this process will work for you, and that you will find it a much more enjoyable process than having to drive to one of our offices. In response to our closing surveys, over 95% of our clients indicated they prefer and will use virtual representation legal services again.

  • Your licensed lawyer from Yu & Yu Law is personally handling your case. What “virtual” means in this regard is the practice of not having in-person meetings unless necessary or requested specifically by the client. All phone calls, emails, video calls, and other communications will come directly from your lawyer. You can expect such communications to occur more efficiently with a virtual practice.

  • We have represented thousands of estate planning clients virtually. It makes more sense to do these types of cases virtually because of the sensitive nature of documents that the client needs to provide the lawyer, and the amount of information clarification required to serve the client properly. By communicating over emails and video-calls, our lawyers respond to client concerns at a very fast rate while at the same time keeping fees low for all clients.
