Virtual Legal Assistant

A remote legal professional who supports attorneys with day to day administrative and case related tasks from intake through disposition.

A virtual legal assistant from DocketHire is a dedicated remote professional trained to support law firms with the full range of administrative and case management tasks that keep your practice running smoothly. From answering client calls and managing calendars to organizing case files and preparing documents, your virtual legal assistant becomes an extension of your team without the overhead of a traditional hire.

Law firms that work with DocketHire report faster client response times, fewer missed deadlines, and more billable hours recovered by attorneys who no longer handle routine admin work. Our virtual legal assistants understand the pace and confidentiality requirements of legal practice, and they arrive familiar with the tools and workflows your firm already uses.

Whether you are a solo practitioner looking to scale or a growing firm that needs flexible support, a DocketHire virtual legal assistant gives you reliable, trained talent that integrates into your operations within days.
