In his 2018 book, “The Future of Law,” veteran Miami attorney and author Frank Ramos proved eerily prescient.

“If you take anything from this book, take this,” Ramos told a reviewer for the Defense Research Institute. “We’re on the cusp of a new age and a new reality, and the practice is radically going to change.”

Ramos says he had no idea at the time that a lethal COVID-19 pandemic would threaten the planet and spur a rapid pivot in the legal profession to home offices and remote technology. Now the managing partner at Clarke Silverglate, P.A., acknowledges that the crisis has brought some of his predictions — “the day will come when we will be able to operate our firms from our phones” — closer to fruition.
