Why Should Law Firms Use SMS?

Your clients’ legal needs are of the utmost importance to them. They need to know that your firm is working hard to solve their case and get them the desired results. Additionally, you need a way to keep in touch with them and ensure they receive and read your messages. SMS takes on many of the aspects of communication previously handled by email or phone, allowing you to better serve your clients and increase your client retention rate.

Schedule Client Appointments

Schedule Client Appointments

SMS takes the guesswork out of booking client appointments. Your administrative assistant doesn't have to go back and forth with clients on the phone, trying to find a date and time that works for both parties. You can text clients your calendar, and they can pick an appointment slot that works for them. They can also update their appointment time as needed.

Benefits of

Connection Icon SMS Solutions for Law Firms

With SMS solutions from Red Oxygen, your law firm will enjoy multiple benefits. You can:

  • Simplify Remote Work Lawyers don’t always work from the office, and the administrative team may also work from home several times a week. Texting makes it easier to keep team members up to date no matter where they are working. SMS also lets law firms keep in touch with their attorneys when they are away from a computer or don’t have access to their email.
  • Improve Client Experience Whether they’re a prospective client or have signed a retainer, no one wants to feel like they are waiting for your firm to respond or that their case isn’t important to your firm. SMS lets you respond quickly to your clients, improving their experience and increasing their trust. Sending appointment reminders and follow-ups over text lets your clients know you’re taking care of them.
  • Eliminate Phone Tag Calling clients, witnesses and other lawyers can be inefficient. Your team ends up leaving a message and then waiting for the return phone call, which usually results in another message. With texting, clients, attorneys and witnesses can set up their own appointments. Give them access to your calendar so they can book depositions, consultations and other meetings with your team without waiting for a callback.

Lawyer SMS FAQs

Is using SMS right for your law firm? The answers to some of our most frequently asked questions can help you decide.

Contact Us
Is it legal for me to text clients?

Yes, it is legal to send texts to your clients as long as they have opted-in to receive text messages from your firm. When onboarding new clients, always ask them if they’d like or prefer text message communication in addition to or instead of phone calls or emails.

Keep in mind that while it’s legal to text clients with their consent, it’s still best to avoid sending any personally identifiable or case-specific information to your clients over text. Instead, use SMS for scheduling, reminders and other administrative messages.

Should I text my clients from my personal phone?

Absoultely, Red Oxygen has multiple options for sending business SMS on a personal phone, but the difference is, you don’t use your personal phone number. When sending messages using an SMS provider, you can use a dedicated number that’s not your personal number, but that can be saved by your clients as a contact in their phones, so they can reach out to you, as well. 

Who can use law firm text messaging software?

Attorneys, paralegals and administrative assistants can use law firm text messaging software to communicate with clients. For example, an administrative assistant may send texts to clients to remind them to bring certain paperwork to an upcoming meeting, and keep them updated if a court room changes without notice. An attorney can message clients when they want to touch base about a case.

How can I integrate Red Oxygen with my law firm case management software?

Red Oxygen’s application programming interface (API) can easily connect with your law firm’s existing platforms and CRM. Our solution includes CRM integration capabilities with no hardware required.

Why use SMS communication for law firms?

There are several reasons to use SMS at your law firm. Sending texts makes it easy to confirm client appointments and remind clients of court dates, depositions and meetings. Clients can text their attorneys when they have questions or would like to schedule a meeting.
