The virtual paralegal service that puts your law firm first!

First Paralegal provides virtual support to licensed attorneys in the United States. We do not provide paralegal support to the general public.

Why Use Our Virtual Paralegal Service?

First Paralegal is the perfect solution for busy attorneys who want to outsource some of their work. We offer reliable and efficient paralegal services that are tailored to suit the budget and needs of each law firm. We add valuable assistance without interrupting your daily routines or spending more than you really need to on help. Whether you need assistance with discovery, pleadings, court filings, legal research, document preparation, or more, we can provide you with the assistance you need. Rest assured that your legal work will be handled with accuracy and professionalism.

With First Paralegal, you can get high-quality legal assistance without having to hire a full-time paralegal.

Your Firm Benefits

Improved Productivity

By gaining paralegal support you can focus on your practice and delegate work so you can spend time on your practice and more substantive legal matters.

Lower Labor Cost

Using our service is much more cost-efficient than hiring an in-house paralegal. You’re only billed for the time actually worked. No more paying for downtime or overtime.

Reduced Overhead

We provide virtual paralegal support without the overhead of employee benefits, insurance, tax withholdings, and onsite space and equipment.

Law firms benefit from hiring virtual paralegals

Although our hourly rate is typically more than an employee’s rate, a virtual paralegal can be as much as 50% less expensive than an in-house one. Ultimately your firm saves money.
