I realized that my doorbell didn

I realized that my doorbell didn’t seem to be working. At the time, I knew nothing about doorbells so I called the home warranty company and they had me call an electrician. He came out and did all sorts of fancy tests on my electrical system. He used a machine that tested the wires from the doorbell switch to the transformer. All the wires seemed to be good. Finally, he realized that there was no chime. It seems that the seller had removed the chimes before he left the house.
Had the chimes been broken, the electrician could have replaced or repaired them. As they were not even installed there was nothing that he could do.

One time

One time, I had a pipe break underneath my house so I called the home warranty company and they advised me to call a certain plumbing company. I called them and they were out to my house right away. I paid them the $40 deductible and the portion of the pipe was replaced
I am kind of embarrassed to share this story with you but it is another good example of what is and what is not covered in a home warranty. About a month after I moved into my new home,

Home Warranty

Home Warranty
A home warranty is similar to the warranty that you would get on a new car. The warranty will repair or replace covered systems aappliances if they become inoperative due to normal wear and tear during the term of the contract. Prices vary from company to and most pretty much cover the same things.
There is a small deductible for the work that is done.

Title Insurance

Title Insurance
Title insurance is a tool that ensures the seller is actually the owner of the house and has the right to sell the house.
There could be a time when the owner may not know that a contractor or someone may have a lien against the property. If this is the case, then that lien has to be removed before the house can actually be transferred into your name. A contractor could put a lien on a property to ensure that the owner actually pays the contractors bill.

search of real property

search of real property records including a civil and criminal records search for all the clients to ensure all their assets, debts, lawsuits and other issues are included in the bankruptcy petition. Additionally, the virtual assistant prints out a copy from the Kelly Blue Book website to verify the value of the motor vehicles.
Utilizing this level of detail in documentation not only improved the quality of our petitions, but also made them easy for the court personnel to process. In fact, court officials are always commenting on how well-detailed my petitions are and several have asked me to train other attorneys. I understand that many courts are flooded with petitions that contain numerous errors and omissions. So if a virtual assistant has been professionally trained in drafting bankruptcy petitions, these problems are often eliminated.
Matt: What about the issue of "sharing fees" with a non-attorney assistant?
Dennis: You pay people to work for you at your law firm don't you? Do you consider paying your employees the same thing as sharing fees?

compared to paralegals working from a home office

compared to paralegals working from a home office. While it is true that before the bankruptcy law changed on October 17, 2005 there were unscrupulous people with no experience who attempted to prepare petitions directly for the general public – the new bankruptcy law now makes that almost impossible.
Additionally, non-attorneys preparers who used to draft petitions for the general public (and some of them did a better job than some law firm employees) found they can earn a higher income and maintain a steadier stream of work by working under the direction of attorneys. Therefore, non-attorney petition preparers working for the general public are a dying breed.
Matt: But what about due diligence? The bankruptcy law now imposes a fine for attorneys if they do not exercise due diligence.
Dennis: Personally, I have never had any of these problems occur. The virtual assistant verifies all the information provided by the client on the intake forms. The virtual assistant also conducts an online

Hiring virtual assistants helps to eliminate “office gossip”
that is common with salaried employees and
costs your law firm money.

Dennis: I used to think the same thing. However, after reviewing many cases involving UPL, I discovered there were just as many cases filed against attorneys who had been barred for misconduct

“Since I hired two virtual assistants and moved to my own home office, I now only need to put on a suit and tie when I go to court.”

The average virtual assistant prefers working from home

The average virtual assistant prefers working from home
so they can spend more time with their family and less time
commuting to and from an office. This makes the field attractive
for thousands of professionally skilled women and men who
provide high quality services to their attorney clients every day.

Dennis: The virtual assistant field has been
around for a long time. We just didn't use the word
"virtual." The "virtual" field was first developed when
the internet exploded and became more widely
accepted. Since the internet has not been the mainstream tool utilized by businesses (except within the
past 5-10 years), many law firms have not embraced
the idea. Instead, some of them are still in the "learning stage" of how to send and receive email or need to
be trained in converting documents to PDF for electronic filings. Normally, experienced virtual assistants
have been performing these tasks for years.

Matt had been patiently sitting back and listening to
Dennis tell his story. But at this point he was so full of
questions he was about to burst. Matt interrupted
Dennis and said "Wow! This all sounds unbelievable.
So tell me Dennis, 'what's the catch?'" What follows is
the rest of their conversation:
