The Idea
How would you like to have a highly competent, experienced and reliable assistant, but … only when you need her?
Hello, I’m Richelle! After working at a large law firm for over 30 years I realized how much time was lost or wasted doing busy work while my attorneys spent hour and hours, or days and days working on a project. Waiting for the time to turn their work into a beautifully formatted final document. I call this the magic. And what they were paying me a high salary for during all that downtime was the magic part.
So I decided to become a virtual legal assistant. I’m here just for the times you need me. The same assurance of privacy and accountability as a dedicated employee without the hassle.
The Cost
I suggest you just pay for the magic and not the downtime. $30.00 per hour.
My Superpower
Your superpower is the ability which makes you succeed. It’s what enables you to outperform others.
Formatting legal briefs and documents is my superpower. Cleaning up any unintentional font changes, spacing issues, and using consistent headings and secondary headings makes any document more readable and comprehensible. I don’t think Microsoft had your masterpiece of a brief in mind when they installed the auto-numbering and headings in Word. The magic.
Don’t let the technicalities get you down. I have experience with all federal, state and appellate courts. I will double check that all specific contents are included and that any page limitation and font requirements are met. I may even be able to get you under a page limit without changing one word. The magic. And over the years I have perfected an efficient method of generating both Table of Contents and Authorities. Its the details, the details, the details.
Proofreading
There is nothing more distracting while reading a document than missing words, misspelled names, incorrect citations, improper grammar, etc. If you ask me to read something, I’ll read it. Sometimes it’s easier for a non-lawyer to catch these errors. I really don’t think you can proofread enough, but that’s me. Again, the details.
Transcribing
If you prefer to hand write your documents I can transcribe most penmanship and other hieroglyphics. Just send me a pdf of your written work and I’ll type it all up and keep track of headings and subheadings along the way.
Other Projects
Over the years I have generated all types of documents from Wills & Trusts to Employee Handbooks & Employment Applications. I have experience preparing corporate documents and updating minute books. I can create a personalized letterhead for you or your firm. I’m pretty resourceful. If you have a particular project in mind, just give me a call. I’m sure I can help.
I’m On Your Side!
I think you will find that I am super easy to work with and very flexible to meet your deadlines. I’m friendly, kind and funny … but make no mistake, I get things done, whatever it takes. I’m so happy to be working with you.
Ms McCall has an unparalleled work ethic, ability to produce first class perfectly proofread work, solve problems and unsort any mess. If I had the money, I would engage her full time at a salary which any of you reading this would be unable to match.
Richelle-I just wanted to let you know how much I value you and your work. You are, without question, the finest legal admin I’ve ever worked with. It brings me a sense of comfort and confidence that all is well, at least with my practice, during these turbulent times.
