Remote
The standing mode of this service: full paralegal support delivered remotely to attorneys and teams anywhere, with the responsiveness of the office next door.
In Person
On-site support by arrangement — trial preparation, trial days, and the matters that belong in the room rather than on the screen.
Emergency
When a deadline or trial date cannot move and the file is not ready: short-notice support, triaged the hour the inquiry arrives.
Short-Term
A single matter, a motion, a trial — defined support for a defined piece of work, scoped and closed out cleanly.
Long-Term
Standing support for firms, teams, and agencies with continuing need — the same professional, matter after matter, without a new search each time.
The Terms
Every engagement is confirmed in writing before work begins: scope, supervising attorney, timeline, and the rate for the engagement, quoted in writing. No surprises, in either direction.
Remote, Without Distance
Remote describes where the desk is, not how the work feels. Communication is direct, drafts arrive when promised, and the supervising attorney is never left to wonder about the state of a file. The desk is remote; the standard is the one in the room.
How an Engagement Begins
1. The inquiry
The matter, the support needed, the deadline, and the supervising attorney — sent by form, email, or telephone.
2. Confirmed in writing
Scope, supervision, timeline, and the engagement rate — quoted per engagement, in writing, before work begins.
3. The work, delivered
Delivered to the supervising attorney, ready for review, signature, and filing — on the timeline the writing promised.
Under Supervision, by Design
Every engagement is performed under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney — the supervising attorney directs the work, reviews it, and signs it. Remote Legal Assistant is not a law firm, offers no legal advice, and forms no attorney-client relationship with any end client. Support is provided to attorneys, law firms, corporate legal teams, and government agencies.
Set the engagement
Emergency, short-term, or long-term — the first step is the same short inquiry.
