What is a Virtual Law Office?

The Law Offices of Sulaiman & Associates, L.L.C. Virtual Law Office (VLO) provides a secure online environment that is available to clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The VLO includes secure areas for attorney-client communications, completion of online forms, and secure sharing of confidential documents, files and account information. As part of Sulaiman & Associates’ mission to increase access to the legal profession, the VLO allows us to provide service to clients in the entire State of Illinois.

Why a Virtual Law Office?

Our Firm feels that a Virtual Law Office best helps us to fulfill our core values. We believe that:

•    Individuals Deserve Access To The Legal Profession
•    Legal Services Should Be Affordable and Available
•    We Can Provide Efficient, Cost-Effective Service with a Swift Turnaround Time
•    Individuals Should Only Buy The Services That They Need
•    Improving Our Ability To Provide Legal Services Allows The Firm To Grow

What Can I Do on the VLO?

•    Obtain legal advice as needed, either in our secure online environment or by scheduling a phone conference with an attorney to discuss your questions and concerns.
•    Request a free quote for performing legal services.
•    Order services such as Answers with Affirmative Defenses and/or Counterclaims, Motions, Living Wills, Powers of Attorney, corporate formation documents, licensing agreements, website terms of service and others.
•    Receive your legal services online, in a timely fashion, without sacrificing the personal services of a licensed attorney.
•    Receive only the legal services that you need while managing their scope and direction.
•    Access invoices and pay legal bills.
•    Schedule full-service representation if needed.

Legal Fees

All clients are provided with a personalized quote for the legal services requested before any work is done. The legal fees charged by our VLO are generally less than the cost of full-service legal representation. We can make our fees lower because the VLO allows us to provide service in a streamlined manner and affords us the ability to lower our overhead costs.

Sample fees for services:

•    Answer with Affirmative Defenses and/or Counterclaims: $250-$500 (depending on complexity)
•    Durable Power of Attorney: $150
•    Health Care Power of Attorney: $150
•    Living Will: $100
•    Motion to Dismiss: $250-$350 (depending on complexity)
•    Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization, including completion of appropriate legal forms: $400


Getting Started

To use the VLO, you must register for a free account. During the registration process, you will be given the terms and conditions for site use. Keep your registration information (username and password) private and use it to log onto the site to view threaded discussions between you and an attorney. LOSA gives you the option of being notified via email upon attorney response to your VLO query. After you create your account, you may click on "Ask a Question" and submit information concerning your legal matter. We will conduct a conflicts check and if there is no conflict, our attorneys will answer your question and provide a no obligation quote for legal services.

Limited Legal Services

The Virtual Law Office allows the Law Offices of Sulaiman & Associates, L.L.C. to provide unbundled or “ala carte” legal services to anyone in the State of Illinois. Our VLO helps clients by preparing legal forms, drafting legal documents, and providing instructions for their use in Illinois courts. These cost-effective limited-engagement services empower individuals to pursue their cases and defend their rights when full-service legal assistance would be too expensive. Our firm is committed to improving access to the legal profession and to assisting individuals in their pursuit for justice.

Security

Although email can be used for client communications, it is neither encrypted nor secure. Emails also leave copies of themselves on servers they pass through on their way to the recipient. Our VLO is powered by Virtual Law Office Technology, which provides our clients with a secure communication tool. Data is encrypted at both the communication and storage levels using proven algorithms offering the highest degree of protection. The software is developed using secure programming techniques, regular auditing and continuous updates to protect you in the ever-changing online environment.
