Paramount Paralegal Service only bills for work done. You can rest easy knowing you are certainly getting your money’s worth and are only being charged a fair fee, for services performed.
The support that a paralegal provides an attorney can be invaluable. While having a full-time paralegal can be beneficial for many attorneys, often times, an attorney lacks the need for a full-time paralegal, but is still seeking the additional help of tort support and structure of a paralegal. Paramount Paralegal Service is ideal for a small law firm and/or sole proprietorship who can benefit from additional help.
By contracting with Paramount Paralegal Service, your firm will benefit by increasing it’s efficiency while also maintaining an affordable overhead. Your firm will save money by not providing full-time employee benefits such as health insurance, vacation time, sick leave, and office space. Also, because some work is completed on a flat fee basis, you will be able to delegate tasks that are more time consuming for you, thus saving you money and increasing your bottom line.
Paramount Paralegal Service isn’t just independent and freelance paralegals. We are your team of professionals who will provide you with full tort support in personal injury, full legal case management in family law, and so much more.
