How a legal assistant helps your business

What changes when this work is no longer on your plate in Maryland.

  • More time for billable work

    Intake, scheduling and document admin come off your desk, which frees your hours for clients and casework.

  • Deadlines stay visible

    Court dates and filing deadlines get calendared and tracked, so you can review them in one place.

  • Clients feel looked after

    Regular updates and quick scheduling reduce the "any news on my case?" calls.

Exactly what your legal assistant does

Your account manager turns the work you choose into a written checklist on your kickoff call, and you can change it as your needs change.

Client intake

  • Answer intake calls
  • Complete conflict-check forms
  • Collect documents from new clients
  • Schedule consultations

Calendar and case management

  • Calendar court dates and deadlines
  • Update Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther or Smokeball
  • Keep case files organized
  • Send deadline reminders to your team

Documents

  • Prepare e-filing support
  • Keep document templates current

Client updates and billing

  • Send status updates to clients
  • Schedule client appointments

Good to know: Assistants are not attorneys and do not give legal advice.

Why clients choose us for their legal assistant

Reasons specific to this role, plus what comes with every monthly package.

  • Confidentiality is built in

    Every assistant signs an NDA, uses their own login and follows your firm's confidentiality policies.

  • Knows legal software

    Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, LawPay and NetDocuments.

  • Works under your supervision

    You stay in charge of the legal work, and your assistant handles the administrative support around it.

  • A dedicated assistant

    You work with one person who learns your business, not whoever is free in a shared pool.

  • A US account manager

    One person matches you, runs your kickoff call and stays your contact if anything needs fixing.

  • Start in 1 to 3 business days

    Most clients are matched within 1 to 3 business days of payment, or within 24 hours with rush onboarding.

  • Free replacement

    If your assistant is not the right fit, we match you with a different one at no extra cost.

  • NDA and secure access

    Every assistant signs an NDA, and logins go through a secure vault, never by email.

  • Clear prices, no lock-in

    See your exact price before you order. Month-to-month packages can be cancelled any time, and unused hours roll over within your package limit.

How hiring works

Three steps, no account needed.

  1. Build your package

    Choose a role, a package and an experience level. Your monthly price updates as you go, with nothing hidden.

  2. Pay your invoice

    We create an itemized invoice. Pay by card or in crypto. Nothing is charged before that.

  3. Meet your assistant

    Your US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days and runs a kickoff call. Your assistant starts on your first tasks.
