Why Hire a Contract Attorney
1. A Contract Attorney Costs Much Less than an Associate: You will pay an hourly rate or flat fee for only work done. You will not pay a salary, taxes, benefits, insurance, etc., as you would for an associate. The initial consultation with the contract attorney will be free, and you will be given a work product that should be ready to file, while you can handle other matters.
2. Referrals: A legal research and writing contract attorney works with you not against you. If you have an ongoing relationship with such an attorney, she will refer clients to you, giving you both more work.
3. Broaden Your Practice: With the assistance of a legal research and writing contract attorney, you can broaden your practice to include more areas of law, accept more cases, or accept cases with more complexity than you otherwise would have the time and resources for.
4. Less Stress Meeting Deadlines: A contract attorney can ease your workload near deadlines. The contract attorney will take work off your plate and can often be available on short notice.
5. More Time to Enjoy Life: With a contract attorney doing your research and writing, you will free up more time in your schedule to enjoy life.
