Virtual assistants are paid like any other vendor.

Virtual assistants are paid like any other vendor.
They never share fees and work under the sole discretion
of the attorney just like your office staff.



Matt: Of course not.
Dennis: A virtual assistant is just like any employee that works at your law firm. The only difference is that a virtual assistant does the same job except at a separate location and communicates via the internet.
In fact, I spoke with several Trustees who told me the issue of "sharing fees" normally relates to people who find clients for the attorney and are paid a commission for each new client they get. It is illegal to attempt or force to attempt someone to make the decision to file bankruptcy. "Head hunters" (as they are known) will use any sales tactic they can to get clients for the attorney since they receive a commission for each one.
Virtual assistants (just like your employees) play no role in obtaining clients for attorneys. Therefore, the attorney is never "sharing fees" with the virtual assistant. Instead, the attorney pays the virtual assistant
