Virtual In-House Counsel was formed in 2001 primarily to serve small business clients. We combine traditional legal services with more innovative and responsive approaches to the challenges of today's business climate; to become an integral part of the management team--to become, virtually, an in-house counsel.

To ensure cost effective client service, we make use of web-based reference materials, a variety of business information sources, the latest software, electronic filing systems, e-mail, and voice mail; all incorporated to better serve your needs within the most responsive time frame possible.
