Paralegal support for law firms · New York & nationwide
Overflow paralegal capacity, billed by the hour — e-filing, drafting, discovery and document review, staffed by a small team and available on your schedule. No retainer. No subscription. Buy a block of hours. Draw on them when the work spikes.
No single point of failure on your matter.
A second set of eyes before anything ships.
Parallel staffing, not a single queue.
Accessible rates, no idle salary between matters.
Not just a paralegal
The hours on your invoice aren't just drafting time. Intake, scheduling and filing logistics run in parallel with the substantive work, so your billed time goes to the matter — not the administration around it.
Intake, scheduling, NYSCEF filing and document logistics, running alongside your matter.
Experienced paralegals carry out the drafting, discovery and document preparation billed to your block.
Formatting, citations and procedural compliance checked before anything reaches you — work that goes out under your name is never a single preparer's unreviewed first pass.
When it's due tonight
Most calls come in when something is due overnight or by tomorrow morning, and the day ran out of hours before the work did. That's exactly the call to make — tell us what's outstanding, and we take it from there.
NYSCEF doesn't wait for business hours. Neither do we.
The full scope
Everything below is performed at your direction and under your supervision. We are a paralegal service, not a law firm — we do not advise your clients and we do not appear anywhere.
The procedural workload that eats associate hours.
First drafts and formatting, ready for your review.
Discrete drafting work outside general litigation, staffed without a specialist hire.
Why firms use us
A full-time paralegal costs a salary, benefits, and the quiet expense of paying for hours you do not currently need. An hour block costs only what you draw from it.
No salary, no benefits, no taxes, no severance. Capacity that scales with the docket rather than against it.
Healthcare compliance, litigation support, real estate and multi-state regulatory filing. Work that arrives finished rather than needing rework.
Every task logged to the tenth of an hour against your block. You always know the balance and where it went.
Most routine work turns around in 48 hours once scoped at engagement; rush and overnight available. Filing deadlines don't move, so neither do we.
Packages
Each package is a block of paralegal hours spent across any matter in your practice. The larger the block, the more it includes. Hours expire at the end of your validity window, so you provision only what you intend to use.
A single matter
Sustained overflow
Standing capacity
Priced per outcome rather than per hour, so the cost is known before anything begins.
We understand the professional obligations you carry. Client confidences, privilege, and conflicts are not administrative details — they are the terms on which a firm can work with an outside provider at all.
LEGALWISE executes a confidentiality agreement before any file is transmitted. Substantive legal work is performed under the supervision of the retaining attorney, consistent with your obligations regarding the use of non-lawyer assistants.
Request capacity
Send the matter type, the volume, and the deadline. You will have a straight answer on fit, turnaround and cost — usually within one business day. For anything due tonight, call.
Something due overnight or at short notice? Call — we'll work through the night if that's what it takes.
