Certified Paralegal Document Support
For real estate deals and small business contracts.
Get the document work attorneys charge hundreds an hour for. Contract review, deal prep, and litigation organization, at flat, real rates. You can always bring in an attorney when you need one. You just stop burning your retainer on the work they hand off anyway.
Certified paralegal. Extensive training in tort and contract law. Document support only. Not legal advice, not attorney representation. Attorney review may be recommended when needed.
What you're actually paying for when you hire an attorney
When you hand a contract to an attorney, a significant part of what you're billed for isn't legal strategy. It's document review, organization, issue spotting, and prep work. That's paralegal work. It always has been.
A paralegal does that work at a fraction of the cost. You still get your attorney for the things only an attorney can do like legal conclusions, strategy, and representation. You just stop paying attorney rates for everything that comes before that.
Keep your retainer for the things that matter. Get your document work done by those who will do it anyways.

Real issues found in real documents
“Needed eyes on a co-founder agreement before we made anything official. The IP assignment clause was vague enough that anything built before formation was in a gray area, which is a real problem. There was also no vesting cliff, just straight quarterly from day one, which nobody should agree to. Both got caught and fixed before we signed anything.”
“My JV partner and I drafted our own agreement off a template we found online and I thought it was fine. It got reviewed here and turned out we never actually defined what 'net profit' meant before the split, and there was nothing in there if either of us did not perform. We had a dispute on the next deal anyway, but by then we had the right language and it was two texts instead of a legal problem.”
“I do not read contracts. I know I should but I do not. A GC handed me a sub agreement and said it was their standard. I had it looked at before I signed, and there was an indemnity clause that would have put me on the hook for damages well outside what I was even doing on the job. It got flagged, it got changed, I signed.”
“A supplier sent me a 14 page service contract. I was not going to pay my attorney $400 an hour to read the whole thing, so I had it reviewed here first. There was an auto renewal section buried in it that would have locked me in for another year at a rate I never agreed to. Thank you.”
