About Bridge City Law<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bridge City Law is a personal injury law firm based in downtown Portland, Oregon. Established in 1998, the firm has built a reputation for helping clients navigate the complexities of personal injury cases, particularly those involving motor vehicle accidents. With over 37 years of legal experience, Jim Dwyer, the firm\u2019s Managing Partner, emphasizes the importance of relationships and empathy in their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I love most about being a lawyer is the relationships I develop with my clients<\/em>,\u201d he shared. \u201cI get to guide them through a system that\u2019s not designed to help them, and that\u2019s incredibly rewarding.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge: Missed Opportunities After Hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before partnering with LEX Reception<\/a>, Bridge City Law faced a significant challenge: managing client calls outside of regular business hours. Potential clients and existing clients with emergencies often encountered voicemail, which felt impersonal and led to missed opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople don\u2019t like voicemails anymore<\/em>,\u201d the attorney explained. \u201cIf another firm had an answering service available on weekends or after hours, they\u2019d get the call instead of us. We were missing chances to help people when they needed us most.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the firm needed a way to ensure that every call was handled with professionalism and empathy, especially during moments of crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passing the \u201cAmanda Test\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Bridge City Law began searching for a solution to handle after-hours calls, they knew they needed a partner who could meet their high standards for professionalism and empathy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Amanda, the firm\u2019s business development lead, who played a pivotal role in selecting LEX Reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmanda is incredibly demanding when it comes to the quality of service we provide,<\/em>\u201d Jim shared. \u201cShe has a very clear vision of how things should be done, and if someone passes the Amanda test, you know they\u2019re going to do a great job!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEX Reception not only passed the Amanda test but exceeded expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce Amanda gave her approval, we knew we were in good hands,<\/em>\u201d Jim said. \u201cLEX has been a fantastic partner ever since.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEX Reception\u2019s 24\/7 Service<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021, LEX Reception has provided the firm with a reliable solution to handle after-hours calls, ensuring that no client or potential client was left waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, when clients call after hours, they don\u2019t get a voicemail – they get a live person who can help them immediately,<\/em>\u201d Jim said. \u201cThat\u2019s a game-changer.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEX\u2019s call recording feature also proved invaluable. It allows the firm to review interactions, refine their call scripts, and ensure that every call is handled effectively. \u201cHaving recordings lets us evaluate how calls are being handled and make improvements where needed.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
