Started great with VA services but quickly went downhill. 3 different assistants assigned in less than 6 months. We had one that was amazing but she switched positions and then left company. All needed training & did not have experience that was represented. Issues have been extremely disruptive to the practice and unreliable. Tried to resolve and nothing has been done to fix the issues

The Betties are kind and courteous to each and every caller. They provide individualized attention and respond to calls in a manner that does not give away that they are an answering service. I feel like each Bettie knows my business and is able to respond to callers in an informed manner. Highly recommend.

Terrible company they basically make you LIE to callers telling them that you work there when basically you don t and when my mans questioned the HR lady she basically gaslighted him. Micro managed company and the HR lady was yawning the whole time my mans was doing an interview like either be more professional or she gots to go. She was uneducated and not professional. Lord help these people. Only god will judge.

Being a receptionist for a law firm is not easy. The callers are typically dealing with something stressful in their lives, which is why they re calling the law firm in the first place, and on the other end are lawyers enough said. We ve tried a few different services, and BOB is by far the most consistent, professional, and, while far from cheap, worth the price paid. The reception team all have the truly friendly and competent voices you want representing your business, and the company solicits and responds to feedback appropriately.

Ive worked with BOB for a few years, and they make the process super easy which lets me focus on other demands in running an efficient office. Our law firm has been using them for a few years now and we wouldnt entertain other options moreover because their communication is always on point! They are quick to answer questions and make fielding the calls really easy, we get our messages efficiently and they are always willing to make adjustments.

We have been using the Back Office Betties since 2020. We LOVE our Betties! Using the Betties has enabled us to be more efficient and productive during the day. They schedule new appointments for us and answer all of our calls. Our clients love the fact the Betties can reach us with email if we are away from our phones. We absolutely recommend the Betties as a positive addition to your firm.

Back Office Betties is amazing! I run a small nonprofit called LEgal Impact for Chickens. Back Office Betties volunteers to answer our phones pro bono, in order to help animals! I am so grateful to Back Office Betties! The team is so helpful to us, and so kind. The staff answer our phone calls for us and pass them along with a positive attitude. Thank you Back Office Betties!

I was turned on to Betties by a close colleague and friend. The service they provide has proven invaluable to our firm at Dixon Law, APC, especially given our high call volume. They are knowledgeable, professional, and their virtual receptionists are trained to understand the legal professional client in a way that makes them truly one of your firms own. Highly recommend them!!!!

If I could give Back Office Betties less than 1 star I would. Unfortunately, that is not an option. If you are looking to grow you practice with a supportive team behind you, absolutely look elsewhere. Back Office Betties is overpriced, understaffed, and beyond under-qualified. Back Office Betties is a complete sham, and made multiple errors to my intake process and online presence, that I had no choice but to stop using them after providing many chances to them. As attorneys, we have an ethical duty to be on top of things for our clients. Answering phone calls, being attentive, and being responsive is absolutely key. Back Office Betties doesnt do their job, and will add work and issues to your plate - they will not make your life easier one bit. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs. They make your life more stressful.

Our law firm started with Back Office Betties last month and we have been delighted by their reception services. Their work handling our intakes and calls has helped us better triage cases and eliminated calls not being answered during off times or when someone was at mediation or otherwise unable to answer.

I LOVE Back Office Betties! As a solo-practitioner, my time is so so valuable. I love that I never worry about whether my phone is answered. I also felt it was important that all of my clients speak to a live person when they call, which happens with Betties. The receptionists are exceptionally friendly, thorough, and professional. I also really love how innovative and client-focused the company is. I have used quite a few other answering services, and this is my favorite.

My law firm has been using BOB as our answering service for several years now. Theyre dependable and consistent. I really appreciate that the owner, Emily, is heavily involved in the business and invests in herself via peer mentorship and coaching programs. I know that because we have mutual friends in those groups, but you can also see that the business is constantly evolving and growing. Its been a pleasure to be a customer and watch them adapt to the needs of their clients.

I have used a number of answering services over the years, but this is by far the worst experience I have had. Calls are not answered. Clients complain over and over about the phone ringing and ringing with no one picking up. The staff member answering the calls often lacks the most basic knowledge and understanding about our business to ask the right questions and handle the calls correctly. Messages that I do receive are often so garbled that I cannot even understand what the prospect his calling about. And perhaps worst of all, they do not own their mistakes. Instead of fixing problems, they try to placate you with hollow apologies and are thoroughly unavailable when things go wrong and you need to communicate with them. This outfit has cost me money and made our firm look bad to clients. The owners has framed their response to this review to create the misimpression that there was one isolated occurrence. This is misleading and inaccurate. I would not have written this review if my recent experience was merely an isolated occurrence. The problems I described are, in fact, chronic and have gone on for over a year. Other recent reviews, including the one from jon jon, corroborate that other clients of this vendor have experienced the very same problems as did we. It is also disingenuous for this vendor to call attention to my reaction to their ineptitude, without explaining what precipitated the reaction (i.e., their lack of care, competence and ownership when it mattered most) and without owning that my reaction only came after months and months of complaining to the company about their service and having nothing improve. You cannot treat customers this way and expect them to just shut and get walked on. In short, if you need competent, available people to handle the front line for your calls -- calls that you have paid hard-earned marketing dollars to generate -- I would strongly encourage you to look somewhere else.

I used BOB for my family law practice in Texas - as a solo practitioner being in court takes up most of my days. I have always used an answering service for my firm from the day I going back almost 15 years. Some are better than others, some are more expensive than others. I switched to Back Office Betties after seeing their ads everywhere online after being reassured by their staff that my calls would be handled more efficiently and effectively then my current service. I tried - for about 60 days, then I finally said Uncle. After numerous attempts to rectify problems I was having with my account I went back to my previous service with my tails in between in my legs. BOB says they are focused on legal only. I beg to differ. Their staff are under-qualified, incompetent, short-staffed and their pricing is above the rates of other leading answering services, they have a no hold guarantee that is bologna. Yes they wont put a client on hold once the call is picked up, but when it takes a company 6 minutes to pick up a call how could you? My marketing team recorded and listened to every call and not one was picked up in less than 2 minutes. I lost multiple leads that hung up before a call was ever answered by them. This never happened at my previous service. I was assured they were experiencing staffing shortages and it would be temporary. Hence the 60 days I stuck with them and gave them a chance. Multiple intakes performed incorrectly, call backs not made, I did not receive some of messages even though I have the recording, hold time was ridiculously long. Nevertheless, I am back with my old service and I am very happy. Do yourself a favor and dont always think the grass is greener on the other side. Seems like most services are having issues these days.

Really spectacular service. Back Office Betties has been great for us - they handle the phone professionally, so much so that our callers assume theyre right at the reception desk. But really, our staff is freed up to be more productive! And the service is remarkably versatile, allowing me to choose whether Im an guy or a mobile one. Really the best service of its kind Ive ever used.

As an answering service for lawyers, Back Office Betties is unmatched in customer service and quality client interaction. Sean has consistently followed up with me to ensure my satisfaction with the services and strives to give a phenomenal customer experience. Rates are reasonable and this is one invoice I am happy to pay when I hear of my clients experience with Betties.

I have used Back Office Betties (the Betties) for a couple of months. I am happy to say that their service is a life saver for anyone running a small business. The setup was easy, and would have been easier if I already used a scheduler to book appointments. After I set that up, the Betties confirmed my office hours, sent me a recording of the greeting, and gave me some pointers. What REALLY sold me on them was this: I have been a manager/employer for a long time and I always challenged my employees to answer the phone with a frown, but sound like theyre having the best day ever (Hint: its IMPOSSIBLE). The Betties ALWAYS answer my calls with a smile. Sean, who is my account coordinator, is always there for me if I need anything, and the small group of assistants who call in to me are both personable and professional. I also love sending the Betties an email to have them schedule a client. It is so convenient to ask them to book somebody, saving me time while presenting a professional experience. I really cant say enough about the quality of their service. The pricing structure also cant be beat. They dont charge you for spam or quick calls and they bill by the second rather than rounding to full minutes. They can complete forms that work with my intake and client management system and have a mobile site for on-the-fly call management, which is really handy! I cant say enough about Back Office Betties.
