The paralegal profession is a fairly new field, but it is growing steadily not only in size, but also in well-deserved recognition throughout the legal community. Paralegals perform a wide variety of legal work under attorneys' supervision. They can greatly facilitate communication between you and the attorney. Paralegals are employed wherever there is legal work to be done. Their work is still performed under the direction and supervision of attorneys, and they do not work directly for clients.
Paralegals make valuable contributions to the legal and business communities.
Attorneys use paralegals for a number of reasons, but probably the most important ones are saving time and money. This savings can be passed on to you, the client. Attorneys who use paralegals can provide more efficient legal services by concentrating on the type of legal work that only they can perform while delegating other matters to the paralegals. As a result, your legal problem may be solved more quickly. Because paralegals are skilled professionals working under the attorney's direct supervision, you are assured of receiving high quality legal services.
