The law firm mainly processes H1B/H4 petitions, H2Bs, L1/L2, Citizenship, and all steps relating to the Permanent Residency Process including PERM Labor Certifications, I-140s, I-485s, I-131s and I-765s.
Challenge
Joseph Kallabat & Associates needed a better way to manage information related to their clients' cases and an effective tool to harness the powers of the internet and technology to allow instant access for staff and clients located throughout the U.S. and the world. "Our firm was looking for a way to better organize our case data than our current system at that time which used various Excel spreadsheets," said Joseph Kallabat, lead attorney for the firm. "In each instance where data was needed, the physical file would need to be pulled to review correspondence, receipt data, etc. We were looking for a way to better manage all of the relevant information to increase efficiency and productivity while still maintaining professionalism and close relationships with our clients."
The INSZoom Solution
INSZoom's case management solutions have significantly helped Joseph Kallabat & Associates practice immigration law more efficiently. " INSZoom has helped our firm tremendously in organizing data," said Kallabat. "Instead of having to pull a physical file to review email correspondence, receipt notice data, etc., we are able to pull up the same details on INSZoom and deliver them to our clients or colleagues in the office promptly. INSZoom has allowed our firm to be much more efficient and it has been a huge time-saver. INSZoom's use of the internet also permits us to login from anywhere that has Internet access, so if a team member is traveling or working off-site, the information can still be accessed."
INSZoom transferred the law firm's Microsoft Outlook correspondence into our case management system; today, all the firm's correspondences can be reviewed easily with the software tool, leading to an efficient method to track the status of cases. In addition, the INSZoom case management software has cut down the time it takes the firm to prepare petitions, especially with the template creation options, email and letter generation tools, questionnaire customization options and automatic data population features.
"INSZoom especially aides in drafting petitions," said Kallabat. "When our clients complete the INSZoom questionnaires, much of the information automatically populates into the forms being created. This allows for simpler editing and less room for error than manually inputting information."
Exceptional Customer Service
INSZoom prides itself on our exceptional customer service and Attorney Kallabat testifies to this dedication. "The initial training was excellent," said Kallabat. "We learned the basic details needed to navigate the system, input receipt data, and work with various correspondence tools. From our experience using INSZoom, many of the features need to be explored individually to learn their procedures and usefulness. The staff is always friendly and courteous on the phone, and they are eager to please and help in any way they can. Overall, we have been very satisfied with INSZoom and feel it is a valuable tool in making our office run smoothly."
