On flat fee probate cases, the
sole-practitioner increases margins by not
doing the work himself and by working on
another case while the Virtual Probate
Paralegal performs a task the attorney would
have otherwise performed. On hourly
cases our services save the client fees,
resulting in more satisfied clients and
repeat business.

Our Virtual Probate Paralegal service reduces the
overhead for lawyers as there is no need
for: interviewing, training, employee
insurance, benefits, workers compensation,
taxation, maternity
leave, coffee breaks or any
other of which is incurred with employing
staff full-time or part-time. With
engaging our Virtual Probate
Paralegal service, you only pay for the time it
takes to complete a task or specified
assignment. Virtual Probate Paralegal
can offer a very affordable alternative to
the standard onsite employee and result in
increased billable hours for lawyers.
