Why Hiring A Freelance Makes Sense for Small Firms
Running a small firm or solo practice means juggling a hundred moving parts. Between client intake, hearings, deadlines, billing, and everything in between — time becomes your most valuable resource. That’s where a freelance paralegal can make a huge difference.
At All In Perspective, I’ve spent over a decade working inside litigation firms and alongside attorneys as their right hand. And I’ve seen firsthand how hiring freelance support not only eases the load — it helps small firms scale smarter.
Here’s why this model just works.
1. You Get Senior-Level Support Without the Overhead
Hiring a full-time paralegal means recruiting, training, benefits, office space, and managing downtime between cases. With a freelancer, you tap into on-demand expertise — no long-term overhead, no HR headache.
I bring 11+ years of litigation experience (from pre-lit to trial) and integrate seamlessly into your workflow, whether you need help drafting pleadings, prepping discovery responses, or managing client communication.
2. You Stay Focused on Billable Work
Every minute you’re formatting declarations, chasing discovery, or calendaring deadlines is a minute you’re not serving your clients at the highest level.
Delegating to a freelance paralegal lets you stay in your zone of genius — building strategy, advocating in court, and growing your practice.
One of my clients put it best:
"Since working with Kelsey, I’ve gotten hours back in my week — and peace of mind that nothing’s slipping through the cracks."
3. Flexibility That Fits Your Caseload
Your legal needs ebb and flow. Some weeks you’re drowning in motions — other times it’s quieter. The freelance model gives you scalable support, whether it’s five hours a week or full trial prep.
You get exactly what you need, when you need it.
4. You’re Not Just Hiring Help — You’re Gaining a Partner
I don’t just “do tasks” — I help attorneys solve problems. Whether it's building a workflow to manage case volume or jumping in mid-litigation to keep things on track, I’m known for turning chaos into clarity.
And I’m always thinking a few steps ahead to protect your calendar, your clients, and your reputation.
