In a recent phone call with a beloved and long-standing client, it came to my attention that he was not aware of all the practice areas that Velawcity Legal Support Services cover. We thought perhaps many of our clients, including those who’ve been with us for many years, may not be aware of the full scope of services that our business has grown to include. And so, we decided to use this month’s blog post to put the spotlight on our services.
