The Training
Trained in the Law
A bachelor's degree in legal studies, and experience earned inside real matters — criminal and civil, from the first research memorandum to the trial binder. This is a paralegal by trade, not a generalist assistant.
The Standard
Courtroom Standard
Every memorandum, draft, and exhibit set is prepared to be read by the supervising attorney, filed with the court, and relied on — cited, checked, and finished. Work product that arrives ready, not rough.
The Reach
Two Bases, State by State
Based in Rhode Island and Puerto Rico, our teams support matters state by state — remotely, under a supervising attorney authorized in that state, and in person by travel from our bases when a matter calls for it: trial preparation, trial days, and on-site support by arrangement.
Services at a Glance
Six disciplines of paralegal support, each performed under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney.
Legal Research
Our legal and research team researches and briefs case law, statutes, and regulations — memoranda that answer the question asked, with authority checked and cited.
Legal Writing & Drafting
Motions, briefs, pleadings, and correspondence drafted in full for the supervising attorney's review and signature.
Trial Preparation
Exhibits, witness files, chronologies, and trial binders assembled to a courtroom standard — and support through the trial itself.
Criminal Case Support
Discovery review, motion support, and case organization for criminal matters, on either side of the courtroom.
Civil Case Support
Pleadings, discovery, and disciplined case management across civil matters, from filing through resolution.
Discovery & Document Support
Document review, organization, indexing, and production support — the file, in order, when it is needed.
One Company, Four Teams
Remote Legal Assistant is a company, not a solo desk. Every engagement is carried by our teams, working as one — so a matter is researched, presented, financed, and billed with the same discipline.
Legal & Research Team
Our legal and research team carries the work of the file: research, writing, drafting, discovery, and trial preparation — every item performed under the direct supervision of the licensed attorney on the matter.
Marketing Team
Our marketing team presents the company to the profession — our publications, our profile, and our outreach to firms and agencies — so attorneys find a clear, accurate account of what our teams do.
Finance Team
Our finance team sets each engagement on a sound footing: the rate quoted in writing before work begins, travel and costs accounted for in advance, and terms kept exactly as written.
Billing Team
Our billing team keeps the account of the work: time recorded to the file in tenth-of-an-hour increments, itemized invoices, and a direct answer to any billing question, from the team that issued it.
In Person, When the Matter Calls for It
Some work belongs in the room: trial preparation at counsel table's reach, trial days, and the final week before them. Remote Legal Assistant supports matters in person by arrangement — the same discipline, at the courthouse door.
The Name on the Desk
Engagements are taken on by a named professional and answered for by him. Research is checked against the source, drafts are read before they are sent, and deadlines are treated as orders of the court — because, so often, they are.
Who We Support
Paralegal support is offered to the profession — attorneys and the teams they lead.
How an Engagement Begins
1. The inquiry
Send the shape of the matter: the support needed, the deadline, and the supervising attorney. Our team answers every inquiry.
2. Scope & supervision confirmed
The engagement is confirmed in writing before work begins — scope, supervising attorney, timeline, and the rate for the engagement, quoted in writing.
3. The work, delivered
Research, drafts, and files are delivered to the supervising attorney, ready for review, signature, and filing.
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.
A matter that cannot wait?
Emergency and short-notice support is a standing part of this service. Send the inquiry, or call — the deadline is the first fact considered.
