Like many lawyers I tend to call many other lawyers. It’s interesting the different sorts of methods used to answer the phone in lawyers’ offices from a wonderful, warm, and helpful receptionist to the straight-to-voicemail alternative. Actually, with all of the different option out there these days it’s probably worthy of a much more complete blog post in the future (hint, hint).
But for now, so I called another lawyer (I think) recently where a caller wouldn’t even know that he was calling a lawyer’s office. I thought it was a lawyer because this person had sent us some pleadings with a phone number listed on the bottom section of the pleadings. But the voicemail message was completely anonymous stating that you’ve reached such-and-such number and please leave a message, click.
If I was a potential client and needed a lawyer ASAP and that’s the message I heard on a voicemail I think I’d move on to the next option rather quickly.
