There are so many positive things I could write about to answer your question. I've blogged about the benefits of a VLO and other issues on VLOTech's website as well as my own Virtual Practice Blog. I'll try to touch on a few of the biggest benefits of a VLOTech VLO.

From a personal perspective, my virtual law practice gives me the flexibility that I need. I have a great work/life balance. I do work a solid work week, but I do it at times when it is convenient for me and family to do so. Sometimes this means working until midnight, but it also means that I have the freedom to travel places during the typical business work hours. My family went on vacation last year and because my VLO is accessible anywhere I access the Internet, I was able to stay on top of my law practice remotely.

From an economic standpoint, the VLO expands my client base to the entire state where I practice law. I have online clients across the state. Because my clients are invoiced and pay me online through the VLOTech application, I do not have to spend as much time with collections or billing. I have been practicing online for over two years now and have not had a collections issue with a client yet. I believe this is because of the convenience to the online client and the "accept price quote" and "release of services" system set up in the VLOTech application that only releases the final legal work to the client after they have paid their bill.

From my client's side, they appreciate the convenience of an online law office. Each of my clients has their own homepage where they communication with me securely, upload and download documents and handle other transactions.

Of course there is also the awesome benefit of being a "Green" business. My virtual law practice is almost completely paperless. I have very little overhead and need minimal office supplies to run the practice. More and more clients are seeking out businesses that are eco-conscious so it is good for business in more than one way.

Those are the main points that I can think of. I'd be happy to answer any specific questions anyone might throw out there.
