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 get an attorney if needed. You just don't have to burn through your retainer with the work they hand off anyways.

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.

The model

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.

That's the whole model.

Proofs

Real issues found in real documents

Needed eyes on a cofounder agreement before we made anything official. IP assignment clause was vague enough that anything built before formation was in a gray area, which is a real problem. Also no vesting cliff, just straight quarterly from day one, which nobody should agree to. Both got caught, both got 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. Luke reviewed it and found out that we never actually defined what 'net profit' meant before the split!! There was nothing in there if either of us didn't perform. We ended up having a dispute on the next deal anyway. But we had the right language by then and it was two texts instead of a legal problem.

I don't read contracts. I know I should but I don't. GC handed me a sub agreement and said it was their standard. Had it looked at before I signed. There was an indemnity clause that would've put me on the hook for damages well outside what I was even doing on the job. Luke got it flagged and changed it and I got it signed.

...[supplier] sent me a 14 page service contract. I wasn't going to pay my attorney $400 an hour to read the whole thing. Had it reviewed here first and apparently there was an auto renewal section that would've locked me in for another year at a rate I hadn't agreed to. Thank you.
