Welcome to Virtual Independent Paralegals, LLC Virtual Independent Paralegals (VIP) provides a one-stop source for all comprehensive legal and business support services at reasonable rates.   What is Virtual Independent Paralegals? Just like the name says: we're virtual; we're independent; we're paralegals. VIP is not an overseas company, staffing agency, recruiter or freelancer, but instead independent contract paralegals (ICPs) who perform the highest quality legal and litigation support services available on a contract basis in a virtual environment.   Why insource to Virtual Independent Paralegals? For starters, we are taking the "outsourcing" back in! All projects provided to VIP are personally and professionally completed by highly qualified, competent, local virtual paralegals that are eager, independent and ready to begin the moment they receive the project.   What type of services does Virtual Independent Paralegals offer? VIP does everything a legal secretary, paralegal, and associate would do in the legal world and everything a business administrator, researcher and analyst would do in the business world. VIP provides a full-range of comprehensive legal and business support services. Our services range from simple transcription to complex motions and briefs, and everything in between. Some of our specialties include medical record summaries, deposition digests, transcription, due diligence document review and advanced research and writing. We do 75%-95% of case work-up at a fraction of the cost of an associate or paralegal. No assignment is too small or too large. Please view our Services page for more information.   What are some of the benefits of using Virtual Independent Paralegals? VIP is available 24/7/365 at no additional cost. We work around the clock regardless if it's 3 p.m., 3 a.m., Monday evening, Sunday afternoon, Thanksgiving Day, or Christmas Eve. It's all the same to us. Around the clock availability helps bridge the gap that the 40 hour workweek imposes and ensures the assistance necessary to support litigation and all other business deadlines. Our availability also enables our clients, regardless of time zones, to take full advantage of the extended hours available with electronic court filings, as well as to pay for support only when they need it. Most of the work generated in law firms, insurance companies, publishing houses and businesses alike can be done in a remote environment saving overhead costs and the headaches associated with traditional employment. Working virtually enables us to complete tasks away from the distractions of a busy office, tasks that are difficult and cost-ineffective for in-house staff to perform. We assist, not replace, the qualified staff you already have. The hours we produce contain no overhead or administrative costs, and are thus, all billable. We have a Work Done Now!™ philosophy built on the foundation of no excuses, no apologies. This means we hit the ground running, offering lawyers, law firms, insurance companies, publishing houses and businesses alike the assurance that the end product will be of the highest quality. Unlike temporary staffing agencies that can take more than a few weeks to find someone to work on a project, Virtual Independent Paralegals is ready to get Work Done Now!™ and deliver proven results immediately.   What experience does Virtual Independent Paralegals have? Both managing members possess 40 combined years of legal and business experience. Our independent contract paralegals (ICPs) have 20 years of extensive legal experience and knowledge on average, bringing with them their own vast and unique skills in numerous areas of law, medicine and business. Please view our About Us page for more information on our experience.   What assurances do I have if I use Virtual Independent Paralegals?
