Your paralegal is one of the most valuable members of your firm. So why are they spending hours every month printing NTO forms and standing in line at the post office?
The time per filing
A single NTO filing takes 30 to 45 minutes of paralegal time when you account for every step: information gathering, preparation, printing, addressing, post office trip, and tracking.
The monthly impact
Fifteen NTO filings per month means 7.5 to 11 hours of paralegal time. A day and a half. Every month. On a task that requires no legal judgment.
What that time is worth
At a loaded paralegal cost of $40 to $55 per hour, the direct cost is $300 to $600 per month. But those hours could support attorney billing at $300 to $500 per hour. The opportunity cost dwarfs the direct cost.
The alternative at $59
SimpleNTO eliminates the entire workflow. No information chasing, no form preparation, no post office trips. Your paralegal gets 10 or more hours back. Your clients get faster service.
The bottom line
Your paralegal's time is one of your firm's most constrained resources. Every hour should go to work that requires their skills. NTO filing requires none of those things. Let SimpleNTO handle the forms and the mail. Let your paralegal do the work that moves your practice forward.
