How do I get “Online appointments” to show up?
A client of mine asked me if this was spam. Most definitely not. Since the pandemic began, nearly all law firms instantly began offering online appointments. An online appointment is as simple as a phone call or a Zoom meeting.

- Click on Accessibility – this brings up the Attributes page
- Scroll down to “service options” and tick “online appointments”
