Free iPads for clients!

A firm in Phoenix, AZ has started providing iPads to clients who retain the firm for personal injury cases.  The firm uses it as a method of communicating with their persona injury clients, who may not have access to a computer as readily as some other types of clients do.  Upon conclusion of the case, the iPads are returned.  The full story is found here.  The lawyers, Marc Lamber and James Goodnow, liken the iPad to giving their clients the hotline to the firm, so clients can stay in communication and stay informed about their case.  In addition to email, the clients will have access to Scipe on the iPads.  While the article didn't say, the technology is there to give clients access to a secure cloud based site, such as PBWorks, to view case documents.  The firm is seen as tech-savey and dedicated to communicating with clients.  Brilliant use of technology.
