From overloaded to organized

What changes when this work has a clear owner.

Every business is different, but this is the trajectory most clients are aiming for.

Week 1

Supervision, access and review are set

Your Paralegal VA learns your practice areas, templates, file structure and systems. Access, confidentiality boundaries and the attorney review workflow are agreed before live files are shared.

Month 1

A steady flow of work ready for review

Drafts, chronologies, summaries and organised productions reach your attorneys on a predictable rhythm. Files move between attorney touchpoints instead of waiting for someone to find the time.

Month 3+

More attorney time for judgement and clients

Preparation work has a defined owner, and your attorneys spend more of the week reviewing, advising and working the case. Taking on new matters feels less constrained by support capacity.

Is this you?

Signs it is time to delegate this role.

  • Your paralegal is buried and attorneys are building chronologies at night
  • Discovery arrives and nobody has time to organise it
  • Immigration evidence packets take days to assemble
  • Medical records requests keep slipping
  • You hesitate to take more cases because support can't keep up
  • A full local paralegal hire is a big fixed cost for uneven case volume

Being upfront: this may not be the right fit if…

A remote assistant works best when the work is recurring, documented and possible to own online.

  • The work requires legal advice to clients, representation or court appearances
  • Documents must be signed or filed without attorney sign-off, or the work includes setting fees or accepting cases
  • There will be no attorney supervising the work
  • Your state reserves the task for a licensed or specifically qualified person
  • The work is in person, a small one-off project or emergency staffing

Specialist, not generic

Matched for the work you actually need done.

We match for relevant workflows, tool fluency, communication and schedule, not just a job title.

Case-support experience in your practice area

Hire a remote paralegal matched on experience with the work your cases need, such as immigration files, personal injury records, family law and estate documents or civil litigation discovery. Drafts, summaries and organised files arrive ready for attorney review, so less of your week goes to preparation.

Experience with your case software

Depending on your requirements, candidates may already have experience with tools such as Clio, MyCase, Filevine, Docketwise, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft 365. Your Paralegal VA can work inside the systems your firm already uses.

Attorney supervision, access and escalation rules

Before work begins, define which systems, matters and communications your Paralegal VA may access, which actions require approval and how unusual requests are escalated. Your attorney supervises the work and keeps final decisions and all advice to clients.

Flexible hours and overlap with your attorneys

Hire part-time or full-time, with hours agreed during matching so your Paralegal VA overlaps with your attorneys when direct questions come up. This works for solo practitioners, small firms and in-house legal teams.

A clearer way to hire

From overloaded to supported in three steps.

No job board, no hundred-resume review and no long recruitment project.

01

Tell us what case support you need handled

Share your practice area, the work you want to delegate, your case management software, hours and timezone. Rough notes are enough.

02

Get matched with a Paralegal VA

We shortlist candidates through screening interviews and an aptitude test, with an optional skills test you can request. Run any skills test on a redacted or sample file, never live client data.

03

Set supervision, access and review rules

Agree which matters and systems your hire may access, who reviews each type of work, how questions are escalated, reporting and working hours.

04

Start with a few files and review the drafts

Begin with a small set of matters, review the first drafts and adjust instructions before the volume grows.

Questions about hiring a Paralegal Virtual Assistant

A Paralegal VA can support your attorneys with case preparation: building chronologies, summarising records and depositions, organising discovery, preparing exhibit lists, assembling immigration evidence packets and drafting routine documents. All of it goes to an attorney for review.

A Paralegal VA does not give legal advice, represent clients, appear in court, sign or file on their own authority, set fees, accept cases or work without attorney supervision. Paralegal duties and permitted work vary by state, so your firm decides the role within its own rules.

A Legal VA keeps the firm's administration running: intake, scheduling, matter administration and billing support. A Paralegal VA moves the case file forward with chronologies, discovery organisation, drafts and research summaries that an attorney reviews. For administrative work, see the Legal Virtual Assistant page.

Yes. Your hire can be matched on immigration case-support experience, such as collecting and assembling evidence packets, preparing form drafts from client questionnaires and organising case files. The attorney reviews the work, signs, advises clients and decides what is filed.

Your attorney supervises the work and stays responsible for the work product and final professional decisions. Your state's rules of professional conduct apply to supervising nonlawyer assistants, so check your state's guidance on outsourcing and on any client disclosure.

Your firm sets the confidentiality, access and escalation rules. Work happens inside your own systems, and your Paralegal VA receives only the access needed for the approved matters. Define what requires approval and how unusual requests are escalated before live work begins.

We state a certification only when it has been verified for that individual. Candidates are matched on case-support experience, and you can ask about credentials in interviews. Your firm decides whether the role you have in mind requires any particular qualification.

Yes, for attorney review. A Paralegal VA can draft documents from your templates, correspondence and routine discovery responses, and prepare research summaries with sources. Your attorney verifies the research and signs, and your firm provides any access to research tools.

Yes. Indexing discovery productions, Bates numbering, exhibit lists, medical record summaries and records request tracking are common case-support work. Your firm sets the file structure, naming rules and who may access each matter.

First candidate profiles arrive within 7 to 14 days of the signed agreement. Timing depends on the practice area experience you need, working hours, timezone and the case management software your hire must know.

Our remote paralegal service has two routes. Pay a flat $800 fee per hire, split as $400 when we deliver your shortlist and $400 when the hire starts, or search yourself on our platform. Your hire's pay is agreed separately against your budget in US dollars.

If the hire leaves within 30 days of starting, we run one replacement search at no extra fee.
