How It Works

From first call to attorney-ready.

Getting started is simple, and the day-to-day is built to be predictable. Here's how we onboard, how a case flows, and what your first month looks like.

Getting started

Three steps to onboard.

1

Review your caseload

A short call to understand your practice, your volume, and where you need capacity most — so we match you with the right person.

2

Integrate your paralegal

We match a trained paralegal, set up access to your tools and templates, and align on your playbook and standards.

3

Kick off & onboard

We schedule a kickoff on day one to go over your cases and priorities — and your paralegal jumps right in.

Case processing lifecycle

How a case reaches the attorney's desk.

A repeatable, client-friendly sequence your dedicated paralegal follows on every matter — from intake to attorney-ready packet.

Step 01

Intake

Review the caseload for deadlines and priority, then send introductory emails and intake questionnaires to each client.

Step 02

Draft & spot gaps

Prepare draft forms to surface any missing information or evidence early — before it becomes a bottleneck.

Step 03

Follow up with the client

Chase outstanding items and offer to schedule a call to gather everything that's still needed.

Step 04

Finalize & review

Complete the forms and run a structured, form-specific quality review to catch errors before they advance.

Step 05

Client review

Draft the cover letter, close out remaining documents, and hold a virtual final review with the client.

Step 06

Supervisor review & handoff

Assemble the packet for supervisor review so it's polished and ready for attorney submission.

Your first month

What an engagement looks like.

Week 1

Onboarding

Meet your paralegal and get them up to speed on your practice, your preferences, and your systems.

Weeks 2–3

Case review

Your paralegal begins receiving cases, and you provide feedback to fine-tune to your standards.

Month 1

Feedback session

We meet to discuss how it's going and make sure you're happy with the level of service.

To begin

What we need from you to get started.

The role & volume

What you want covered

Your client list, the petition or application types, and the specific tasks or assignments you want your paralegal to own.

Access to your systems

Where the work happens

Access to your case management system and templates for form preparation, notes, client communications, a sample cover letter, and your calendar where needed.
