Many people have disorganized, crowded offices
overflowing with paperwork, but not many could match
the scene we encountered in one lawyer's office. The
firm’s secretary had reached out to us because she was
drowning in paperwork and needed help to sort through
it all. With so many important and confidential files, it
was critical that we were able to organize them in a way
that would make files accessible and easy to find while
keeping them off of every flat service in the office.
Recognizing the space issue, Organiz-ER worked with
the firm to develop a three-tiered system of filing in
which current files were kept in file cabinets, recent files
were kept in a storage closet, and older files were
moved to an offsite storage location. Files were then
alphabetized, color-coded, and archived in the
appropriate location based on established guidelines
generated together by the staff and Organiz-ER.
Thanks to the financial expertise of Organiz-ER staff,
the firm was also able to get rid of unnecessary and
redundant paperwork and leave the office with enough
space to accommodate files for years to come.
