LOS ANGELES, Sep 04, 2008
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Since 1995, hundreds of Judges and tens of thousands of
attorneys have quietly led the charge to help save the environment, save gas
and save hundreds of millions of dollars in litigation expenses by embracing CourtCall's telephonic appearance program.
"Last year we
completed our 1,000,000th CourtCall Appearance. This reminded me of several
important milestones attained over the years," said Bob Alvarado, CourtCall's CEO. "We helped to eliminate approximately
2,000,000 car trips to and from Courts helping to save on the order of
2,000,000 gallons of gasoline while saving attorneys millions of hours and
their clients hundreds of millions of dollars. All of this with the added and
increasingly important benefit of helping to eliminate 18,000 to 25,000 metric
tons of CO2 from polluting our air." These benefits were attained without
cost to the participating Courts, at nominal cost to attorneys and with
correspondingly important savings for clients.
"We are quite proud
of what we have accomplished and of how we have been welcomed by Judges, Court
Clerks, Court Administrators and Attorneys around the country," said Mark
S. Wapnick, Alvarado's law partner and co-founder of
CourtCall. Wapnick had the idea for CourtCall in 1995
while sitting in Los Angeles' notoriously bad traffic. "We are thrilled
with our growth and see that growth accelerating. Short of full-blown trials
(and there have been a few of those handled by phone), there are very few Court
Appearances that cannot be handled by CourtCall in the various Federal,
Bankruptcy and State Courts we serve."
