The Satellite Secretary
Your Virtual Legal Assistant
What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

"I have found your services very useful to my law practice. I've been impressed with
the accuracy, knowledge, quick turnaround and overall level of service. The cost is
very reasonable, especially considering the overhead expenses typically associated
with an employed secretary. Billing is straightforward and concise. Highly
recommended!"    


“Marion is a pleasure to work with.  Her turnaround time is excellent and the quality
of her work superior.  I would not hesitate in recommending Marion.“



"Marion is prompt, accurate and dependable.
The Satellite Secretary is a perfect
solution for both smaller firms looking to keep costs and administration down, and
larger firms with overflow. One of our best office resources isn’t even in the office!"



Need a draft article or document in a hurry?  – Marion and The Satellite Secretary is
the answer!  Marion provides fast and accurate transcription of digital dictation.  Your
digital file can be transmitted by email, receipt acknowledged, and the draft returned
to you in short order, often overnight.  I recommend this service highly.



"
The Satellite Secretary is an indispensable resource for those times when regular
staff members are on vacation or absent due to illness.  I continue to be impressed
with the high level of services offered here.  Marion is accurate, efficient, intelligent
and 100% reliable.  I recommend her without reservation."



"
The Satellite Secretary is an amazing resource.  Marion is not my first “virtual”
assistant, and so it is with some authority that I am able to recommend Marion
McDonald of
The Satellite Secretary.  Marion’s skills, legal experience, and her
flexibility, organization and dedication, place her in the very top of this field.  Marion’s
familiarity with the leading technology and software means that she offers access by
whatever route feels comfortable.  Her turn around time is prompt, clear and reliable.  
I can recommend Marion’s services without reservation."



"I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Marion and her innovative approach as a
virtual legal assistant. The service she provides is both accurate and highly
professional. It saves me both time and money and I highly recommend the
services."
  


"In just a few months I have come to rely on Marion as a back-up in all kinds of
circumstances, including employee absences and busy days.  She is prompt and
accurate.  I highly recommend The Satellite Secretary."
  



"I am impressed with the high quality of Marion's work and her professionalism in
assisting me with my mainly litigation practice. I especially appreciate that she
works hard to decipher some less than perfect dictations.  The Sony hardware and
software is different from the micro cassette tapes that I have used for years but
with a little practice it becomes easy to use."


"Marion McDonald is not a good Virtual Assistant (VA), nor is she a very good VA.  
Marion is the ideal VA. She immediately acknowledges receipt of all requests for
transcription. She transcribes files quickly, accurately, and intelligently. Her fees are
reasonable and she invoices you promptly so you know where you stand.  While I
have only recently begun working with her, I can already say she is an invaluable
part of my firm.”


"I am most pleased with the implementation of my work with The Satellite
Secretary.  The ease of our working arrangement was most impressive because I
was able to be functional immediately.  The ease of my workflow is also enhanced
because I now no longer worry about overburdening my regular secretary and can
just continue to produce and respond to matters, even if what I draft is anticipatory
or in the way of ‘blue sky thinking’.  This allows me to be much more productive
and adds a flavour of creativity to the work I am doing.  I also feel that I am able
to be much more responsive in any of my disputes with even larger firms.  My
capability at dealing with matters thereby has been enhanced appreciably.”
