A virtual law office that works
as hard as you do.

How does Amata's legal receptionist
billing work?
Amata bills live receptionist time at $3.83 per minute, calculated in per-second increments. The average Amata legal receptionist call lasts approximately 7 seconds for routine handling — you're never rounded up to the nearest minute.
Calls involving detailed intake or screening take longer and are billed accordingly. For Chicago law firms with consistent call volume, optional minute programs reduce your per-minute rate significantly. Live reception available Monday–Friday, excluding holidays.
Minutes do not roll over. Overages billed at reduced rates shown above.
Stop doing everything yourself.
Delegate without losing control.
Independent Chicago attorneys carry a lot. Here's a practical framework for how solo practitioners and small law firms use Amata's virtual office plans to protect their time and profitability — while staying firmly in charge.
Start with tasks that are not uniquely you.
Phone reception, scheduling, new client intake, routine admin — a trained, legal-aware support team can own all of these, freeing you for strategy, advocacy, and building client relationships.
Live call answering, urgent issue routing, screening obvious non-fits
Consult callbacks, rescheduling, court date confirmations
Standardized forms, contact confirmation, conflict flagging
Filing, scanning, basic handling, sending confirmations
Hand off intake without losing control.
Many solos hesitate because intake feels too close to client selection. The key is structure — your team gathers the information. You make the decision.
Scale up during trial — scale back after.
Trial prep is where a flexible support bench pays off most. Instead of over-hiring, rent help when stakes spike. Once trial ends, hours drop back to normal.
Organizing, indexing, formatting exhibit lists and binders
Scheduling confirmations, subpoena management, returns
Assembly, Daley Center copies, digital folder prep
Copies, deliveries, filings, simple document drafting
A Chicago civil rights firm engaged Amata for 12 hours of trial support at $900 — billed through to the client with a mark-up, capturing margin while keeping total fees reasonable.
Match cost to value — protect your margins.
Use lower-cost support for process work. Reserve your time for strategy, advocacy, and court. Bill appropriate paralegal time to clients.
Salary, benefits, payroll taxes, training — whether you need them or not.
Bill paralegal time to clients. Costs scale with the case, not the calendar year.
Stay in control as you grow.
Delegation should make you feel more secure, not less. Four simple guardrails keep you firmly in charge without micromanaging.
Real attorneys. Real results.
Rated 4.6 stars on Google across all Chicago Loop locations.
Amata has been a game changer for my solo practice. The paralegals are sharp, the admin team handles my calls professionally, and I pay a fraction of what a full-time hire would cost.
The location at 33 N Dearborn is minutes from the courthouse — that alone is worth it. The staff handle my calls like they're part of my firm. Clients have no idea I'm a solo attorney.
I've recommended Amata to four other attorneys. The fractional support packages save me over 60% compared to hiring full-time. Responsive, professional, and they genuinely care.
I started with a virtual office and upgraded to a private office within six months. Amata made the transition completely seamless. The networking events alone have brought me two referral clients.
I've been at 77 West Wacker for three years. The office is stunning, clients are always impressed, and the reception team greets everyone by name. Flexible terms were exactly what I needed.
The hourly paralegal model is brilliant. I use them for discovery and trial prep, bill the time directly to clients, and everyone wins. The quality of support here is on par with any large firm.
Close to the courts.
Close to where you practice.
Every Amata virtual office plan gives you access to all five locations — including 33 N Dearborn, a 3-minute walk from the Richard J. Daley Center courthouse in Cook County. Serving Chicago, DuPage County, Lake County, and Northwest Indiana attorneys.
