ATLANTA, GA – LawDocsXpress (www.lawdocsxpress.com),
a leader in providing online legal secretarial services for law firms,
corporate legal departments and governmental entities, was recognized
by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as the Seventh (7TH) Fastest Growing
Women-Owned Businesses in Atlanta while their CEO, Sharon Quaintance
was recently named a finalist in the 2006 Small Business Person of the
Year, an event jointly sponsored by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce and the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle recognizes LawDocsXpress as being the
Seventh (7th) fastest growing women-owned business in Atlanta. The list
is created using a weighted average growth rate. The LawDocsXpress rate
was 32.78% with a percent change in revenue of 1075.43%.
“We believe that numerous factors lead to our growth – including our
patent-pending process, greater acceptance of outsourcing, expansion
with existing clients and word of mouth referrals,” says Quaintance,
CEO of LawDocsXpress.
In addition to the patent-pending technology, LawDocsXpress uses a
series of processes to maintain their quality of service. They match
experienced labor to attorneys by practice area and then use the same
secretaries each time to improve accuracy and turnaround time. They
only use U.S. labor. They uniquely offer “conflict checks” using the
client’s procedure or LawDocsXpress patent-pending process.
About The Small Business Person of the Year
The Small Business Person of the Year event honors one outstanding
small businessperson every year for their contributions to Atlanta's
civic and business community. Small businesses are a critical sector in
Atlanta with more than 130,000 total businesses in the metro area.
Nearly two-thirds of job growth in Atlanta is from small businesses
according to the Chamber.
“It’s an honor to be considered one of the five top small business
leaders in the Atlanta metro area,” Quaintance said. “This recognition
is additional independent validation of the increasing acceptance of
our business model nationwide. Being a community leader and
entrepreneur requires balancing one’s life. At LawDocsXpress, we
contribute to this balance by redefining the successful workplace and
allowing secretaries and attorneys to work from anywhere at anytime.”
