​My name is Angie Purves and I am the owner/operator of Advantage Virtual Services. After graduating from the Legal Assistant Program at Grant MacEwan College in 1996, I pursued a career as a Legal Assistant for the following 16 years working in various law firms cultivating a foundation of knowledge in various areas of law. In 2011, Advantage Virtual Services was founded to enable me to utilize the skills and knowledge I obtained during my career as a Legal Assistant to provide quality Virtual Legal Assistance from my home office.
​During the eight years I have provided Virtual Legal Assistant services, I had the opportunity to use various software programs and platforms to allow me to work remotely, and in doing so, garnered a keen interest in the evolving world of legal technology.  I began attending conferences and watching webinars to expand upon my knowledge, and am now pleased to offer consulting services in  legal specific  software options to help lawyers find the solutions they are seeking.  I am a Certified Consultant with both Cosmolex and Clio, and also have knowledge of various other practice management software programs, as well as programs specific for a certain area of law.  I am constantly striving to expand my knowledge of new software being developed to specifically assist the legal community.  With over two decades of real-world experience in the legal industry together with the knowledge acquired in legal specific software programs, I can provide practical solutions to show you the advantages of having technology work with you. From planning to implementing to training, Advantage Virtual Services is your end to end solution to your legal technology needs.
