    LEX Reception is certainly best suited as an answering service for law firms. LEX Reception would be particularly useful for firms that have limited staff and need a solution without hiring an employee or for other firms that need overflow call answering or after-hours call answering. If the firm needs personal assistant/call-out features LEX Reception may be less appropriate.

    If you wish to reduce stress of managing multiple social media handles from a single place, you can use Hearsay Social. Hearsay Social helps you analyze, automate, schedule posts and even give ideas for posts. Rather than multitasking, one would obliviously choose a single place to track your posts. It also fares greatly as compared to its competitors. It has a great interface. Very easy and simple to use.

    Facebook Business Manager is also good however it has some limitations like it's very difficult to remove an ad account, we cannot schedule shared posts and the user interface is a bit complicated and not user-friendly. I like the user interface of Hearsay Social. I find it very simple and easy to use. Also, it has all the features that you might require in Social Media Management tool.
