They reduce administrative hassle, provide cost savings through built-in discounts, and ensure you have a dedicated block of paralegal hours available each month. Members also receive comprehensive billing records for easy copy-and-paste into client invoices.
Billing and Cost Recovery
When attorneys bill these services to their clients, paralegals are typically billed out at $125 to $285 per hour, depending on experience. This means you will generally recoup or exceed the costs you pay to our office.
For hourly projects, payment is required immediately upon completion of each project, unless you prefer to set up a membership or a retainer with us.
Retainers
We also offer retainer arrangements. You may deposit funds with us, and we will work against the retainer balance as services are rendered. This is a flexible option if you do not wish to commit to a membership.
Flat Fee Options
We also provide flat fee quotes for specific projects. These are offered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our office to discuss the details of your matter so that we can provide an accurate quote.
