The pressures of running a family law practice are enormous, where attorneys often face overwhelming case volumes, intense client demands, and the never-ending grind of legal tasks.
Many family law attorneys find themselves in a bind, juggling a mountain of work while trying to maintain a healthy work-life balance. In this digital age, though, you no longer have to bear this weight alone.
Enter Grace Legal Support Services (GLSS), a virtual paralegal agency that offers affordable, flexible, and professional virtual paralegal support tailored specifically to family law practices in Massachusetts and North Carolina. If you’re among the many attorneys frustrated with the high costs of hiring in-house legal support, read on to learn how GLSS can solve your problems—and save you thousands annually.
The Costs of Traditional Legal Support
For many family law attorneys, hiring in-house legal support staff is a steep investment, with costs adding up far beyond just salary. Between training, benefits, and idle time (the downtime when staff isn’t working but is still being paid), the price can become a significant drain on your firm’s finances.
Consider These Numbers:
Hiring an in-house paralegal for 16 hours a week costs about $32,646 annually.
With GLSS, the same 16 hours of expert paralegal services costs only $27,108—a savings of over $5,500 per year.
This significant cost difference means you can reinvest that money into other areas of your firm—marketing, technology, or simply taking more time off.
Plus, with GLSS, you pay only for the time worked. There's no paying for idle time as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state laws, where you're liable for wages even when employees aren’t actively working.
GLSS: The Flexible & Affordable Solution to Your Legal Support Needs
At GLSS, we understand the unique demands of family law. We’re not just any virtual paralegal service; we specialize in the intricate world of family law, providing services that are designed to help you manage your cases more efficiently.
Whether you need temporary support while hiring a permanent in-house paralegal or an ongoing virtual assistant solution, GLSS offers a streamlined process tailored for family law attorneys in Massachusetts and North Carolina.
Here’s how partnering with GLSS can solve your biggest challenges:
1. Affordable Expertise, No Training Required
When you hire GLSS, you’re hiring professionals who are already experts in family law. There’s no need for extensive training, onboarding, or software setup. Our paralegals come equipped with the knowledge and experience to jump into your cases immediately, allowing you to focus on what matters most: serving your clients and growing your firm.
2. Flexible, On-Demand Support
Whether you need assistance for a few hours a week or more extensive support, we have packages that can be tailored to your needs. Since you pay only for the time worked, there’s no wasted expense on idle hours. Plus, you can scale up or down as your case volume fluctuates, making GLSS an ideal solution during both busy and slow periods.
3. Boosting Productivity with Proven Processes
GLSS doesn’t just support your workload; we help you streamline it. With our standing team case review huddles and access to legal templates, we ensure your practice runs more efficiently. Imagine a practice where your paralegal doesn’t just complete tasks but proactively suggests ways to optimize your case management, billing, and workflows.
4. Reduce the Stress of Staffing
If your firm is in the process of hiring a new in-house paralegal, GLSS can fill the gap temporarily, providing reliable support until you find the right candidate. This eliminates the anxiety of being understaffed and ensures that your cases keep moving forward without interruption.
More Time for What Matters
Family law attorneys are no strangers to long hours. If you’ve ever found yourself working over the weekend or during a holiday, you know how much strain the constant workload can place on your personal life. Attorneys frequently struggle to balance their responsibilities at work with time for themselves and their loved ones.
This is where GLSS truly shines. By offloading the administrative burdens of case management, client communications, and document preparation, you can reclaim precious time to focus on your clients—and yourself.
Many of our clients report not just an improvement in their work performance but also a renewed sense of work-life balance. With GLSS, you don’t have to choose between being a great attorney and having a life outside of work.
The Value-Added Services You Didn’t Know You Needed
In addition to our core paralegal services, GLSS offers several add-on services that can take your firm’s efficiency and professionalism to the next level. These can be bundled with our standard packages or purchased separately, depending on your needs:
1. Paralegal & Staff Training Services
Our comprehensive Full Live Training covers legal processes, essential firm tools, and case management software training. Whether it’s onboarding new hires or refreshing your current team’s knowledge, our training services ensure your staff stays compliant and efficient. Our On-the-Job Training provides hands-on guidance to enhance your team's practical paralegal skills, while Refresher Training targets specific family law topics to keep your staff sharp.
2. Case Management System (CMS) Time Entry Support
Inaccurate billing and time management can lead to lost revenue and client dissatisfaction. GLSS ensures that all billable time is accurately entered into your CMS, streamlining your billing and invoicing processes. This service is included in all of our part-time and full-time plans.
3. Forms & Templates Access
Get access to GLSS-created legal forms and templates designed specifically for family law cases. These resources save you time, ensure compliance, and improve the consistency of your document preparation.
