Eighteen months ago, working with his father, Arthur Aaron of Fort Lee, a businessman with more than 40 years of experience, Avrum Aaron decided to open Legal Outsourcing Partners, LLC, a fullservice legal outsourcing firm with offices in NJ and Israel. Arthur Aaron is the firm’s president and CEO; Avrum Aaron is Chief Operating Officer. Originally from Teaneck, Avrum Aaron and his wife, the former Eliana Marcus, also from Teaneck, made aliyah ten years ago to Nof Ayalon in central Israel with their young family. Like Avrum Aaron, attorneys associated with Legal Outsourcing Partners (LOP) are primarily American-trained lawyers who have made aliyah. Also like Mr. Aaron, many were educated at some of America’s finest law schools and were then trained

at prestigious American law firms before making aliyah. “All are accredited by the appropriate bar associations and have years of experience working on all types of legal matters,” said Arthur Aaron, who runs the firm’s NJ office. Three-Step Process LOP has established a threestep process, beginning with a free telephone consultation. When prospective clients call, they are put in touch with an intake attorney who listens to the issue and then dispenses advice about the next step. “If your intake attorney thinks you require legal representation, he or she will choose an expert attorney for you from our extensive data base,” said Avrum Aaron. A conference call is then arranged with the client, the intake attorney, and the expert attorney, one chosen for his or her experience and expertise in handling the specific case.

“The purpose of the conference call is for both attorneys to listen to your case and for you to develop a comfort level with your expert attorney,” said Mr. Aaron. Opening a File Once the client is satisfied with the expert attorney LOP has chosen, a file is open and work begins on the matter. At that point, a representation agreement is signed. “Most of our clients are comfortable after their first conversation, however, if, for any reason, you are not, then we will suggest an alternative expert attorney,” said Mr. Aaron. “At all times, our management team supervises the process and is available for consultation. The client interacts with the assigned attorney as needed, and can contact the expert attorney by dialing a US number or by other methods, including email or Skype.”
