Countless advances in technology have changed the world, and this includes the field of law. At Arnold Law Offices in Pell City, AL, the attorneys, who practice personal injury, bankruptcy, and and criminal law, appreciate how new technologies have impacted their law practices. Here, they discuss a few examples.

3 Ways Technology Has Changed the Way Attorneys Practice Law

1. Personal Injury Attorneys

Taking the depositions of parties or witnesses in lawsuits is no longer just a verbal exercise for personal injury attorneys. Video depositions allow judges and juries to see and hear recorded testimony from witnesses who are not available to testify in person at trials. Other advances in technology allow witnesses at accident scenes to record sound and video with their smartphones as events occur, producing valuable evidence for attorneys.  

2. Criminal Defense Attorneys

When biological evidence is available, such as hair, blood, or skin samples, criminal defense attorneys can establish their clients’ innocence using DNA testing. Thanks to advances in this technology, attorneys for people who are wrongly arrested or convicted can obtain their clients’ freedom.

3. Bankruptcy Attorneys

Bankruptcy courts in Alabama accept electronic filing of bankruptcy petitions, schedules, and motions, which makes many of those last-minute filing runs to the courthouse a thing of the past. Attorneys can buy bankruptcy preparation software packages that are compatible with the court’s system of uploading cases and eliminate the old-fashioned practice of typing, printing out, and filing paper forms.   

At Arnold Law Offices, the attorneys use technology to enhance their ability to serve their clients. From electronic court filing to obtaining and presenting compelling evidence in your criminal or civil case, you can count on these skilled attorneys to deliver high-quality legal services to you.
