If Starting A Law Firm Consider The iPhone

If you are starting a new business, you are probably asking yourself a bunch of questions about a whole bunch of things. And if you are a lawyer starting a law firm, you are probably asking the same questions. One that probably keeps coming up is Blackberry or iPhone? Here’s my take on the issue.

Before I begin, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m 29 years old. I’ve run my law firm for just a little over 6 months. Before that I was an attorney at various law firms and governmental agencies. I grew up on Sesame Street and Nintendo. I consider myself on the outskirts of Generation Y. Because of this I am comfortable with new technology and excited to use it.

If you couldn’t tell by the title of the article, my vote for phone is the iPhone, for a couple of reasons. The first is that, like many other smart phones, it allows you to sync up your email and calendar instantly so you can see what is going on instantly with your law firm. It’s really easy too. This eliminates the need for the paper calendar and will let your staff see what you have going on instantly.

Second, the iPhone’s internet experience is second to none. They’ve set it up so your internet experience is identical to what you would be doing at home or at the office. It makes finding things you need quickly. It also makes killing time waiting for your case to be called easy.

Third, the iPhone is really cool. Let’s be honest, pulling out an iPhone and messing around on the phone automatically gives you a bit of coolness for those around you. And you feel cool when using it. I mean, there are no keys! Take a minute to mess around with a buddy’s phone and you’ll immediately see what I mean.

If you are thinking about how to start a law firm and are considering phone options, think of the iPhone. You won’t be disappointed. I haven’t been. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
