Miles & Stockbridge

When Miles & Stockbridge P.C., a law firm with approximately 200 lawyers practicing in nine offices in the mid-Atlantic region, decided to outsource help desk support for its legal staff, responsiveness and open communication emerged as the two main ingredients for success. Like most firms, Miles & Stockbridge legal professionals place their clients’ needs above their own. The firm chose The Lawyers Help Desk as its outsourced support provider because of its intimate understanding of the customer-focused culture of a law firm. “We were impressed with The Lawyers Help Desk because they understand the demands that our attorneys face every day, and that resolving issues on the first call means more time for clients,” said Justin Bowman, User Support Manager, Miles & Stockbridge.

Whether it’s a question about Microsoft Office or an issue related to the firm’s customized document management and billing systems, The Lawyers Help Desk approach has resulted in industry-leading response times.
