Frequently Asked Questions

How is your paralegal service different from other similar services?

Phillips Legal Support, LLC is a network of independent remote paralegals. We started this business model in 2011 when we were formally known as Girl Friday Paralegal Services. After nine years of getting it right..and occasionally wrong, we have perfected our niche business model. Our freelance independent paralegals are carefully vetted before joining our team and are the most experienced and professional paralegals in their respective areas of law.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to hire an additional part-time paralegal for my firm than a freelance paralegal?

Sometimes our hourly rate may be slightly higher than your in-house paralegal’s hourly rate, but by only paying for the work that is performed, you will save the overhead costs that would be applied to an in-house paralegal’s wages. Freelance paralegals are always a win-win for small practices.

how is my business and client information kept confidential?

We take our client confidentiality very seriously and we have implemented numerous procedures to protect your work product and client information. We rarely have conflict issues, but if we do find a problem, we will notify you immediately.

Yes. We can provide redacted resumes for your review.

Can I use your service on a trial basis?
