Legal Secretary
An experienced administrative professional who manages attorney correspondence, prepares court filings, and maintains the organizational systems that keep a law firm running.
A legal secretary from DocketHire handles the critical administrative functions that attorneys depend on every day. From preparing court filings and formatting briefs to managing correspondence and maintaining attorney calendars, your legal secretary ensures that the operational side of your practice runs without interruption.
Legal secretaries require a unique combination of speed, accuracy, and familiarity with court rules and document formatting standards. DocketHire legal secretaries arrive with experience in legal document preparation, knowledge of filing requirements, and the ability to manage high volume workloads under tight deadlines while maintaining the confidentiality your clients expect.
By adding a DocketHire legal secretary to your team, your attorneys spend less time on formatting, scheduling, and administrative coordination and more time on billable legal work.
