“OpenPhone is the most important tool in my tech stack to run my digital law firm.”

Samantha launched her digital legal firm in early 2021. She realized she needed a modern business phone solution that didn’t require a separate dedicated device. “I don’t want to have a landline or fax. That’s not how I work anymore or how I want to work,” says Samantha.
She also knew she wanted to avoid traditional carriers that lock you into expensive contracts. Coming from a legal clinic previously, Samantha didn’t have a book of clients she could bring when she launched her new business.
“Off the bat, who knows how this will go?” recalls Samantha.

When Samantha started thinking about non-traditional solutions to business phones, another pressing question came up. “Is this going to be secure? As a lawyer, I have professional obligations I need to meet,” says Samantha.
She also sought to ensure her cell phone number remained private. That meant not giving out her personal phone number to clients, tribunals, courts, or opposing lawyers.
Using OpenPhone, Kompa Law has a separate work number they can use to communicate securely with clients — right from her existing smartphone or computer. Instead of getting locked into a large contract, Kompa Law pays just $13 per user per month.
“I didn’t need a second device. I didn’t need an expensive monthly contract. I’m able to keep using a phone I already love and just run my business from it, easily, with a separate number," says Samantha.
Signing up for a number is so simple they were able to easily call and text from their existing devices the same afternoon.
“I'm certainly not a tech person, but getting started was super seamless," says Samantha.
Kompa Law has their OpenPhone number on their website, giving them a main line that clients, courts, and other lawyers can call while keeping Samantha’s personal cell number private.
Samantha says, "OpenPhone is the perfect solution. It really ticked off all the boxes."
OpenPhone’s other core features help Kompa Law be more responsive. Following up with clients is also far easier than traditional office phone systems. "I'm pleasantly surprised with OpenPhone and the role it’s taken as an assistant for my practice,” says Samantha.
With OpenPhone, Kompa Law can see all texts, voice messages, and calls from contacts in one single thread.
"If I'm wrapping up a client's case and send them my reporting letter, I can go back and basically see a transcription based on the texts, calls, and voicemail,” says Samantha.
Since Kompa Law continues to grow, they often aren’t immediately able to listen back to voicemail recordings. OpenPhone lets them quickly review any messages through voicemail transcriptions. Then they can:
Samantha notes, “OpenPhone is the most important tool in my tech stack to run my digital law firm.”
As Kompa Law grows, they know they can easily add existing users into their OpenPhone workspace and onboard new staff without needing to buy additional hardware. That way, they don’t have to worry about policies around giving out company phones to new employees.
“OpenPhone is a super simple solution and I'm glad I found it early on as it's easy to grow in usage as my business grows,” says Samantha. “I would recommend OpenPhone to anyone who is starting or already has a business."
OpenPhone helps Kompa Law centralize all their phone and text communication with clients, while also helping them save time on incoming messages.
