Law Firm Support
Dedicated virtual assistants who support your firm with client intake, document preparation, case management, legal billing, and deadline tracking so your attorneys can focus on practicing law.
According to Clio's Legal Trends Report, the average attorney bills fewer than 3 hours of an 8-hour workday. The rest goes to administrative tasks that don't generate revenue. Missed follow-ups, overdue invoices, and disorganized case files cost your firm real money every week.
A MyOutDesk virtual assistant handles that operational workload at up to 70% less than a traditional in-house hire, so your attorneys can reclaim billable hours, deliver better client service, and grow the firm without growing overhead.
We work with solo practitioners, small firms, and mid-size practices that need reliable administrative support without the cost of another full-time in-house hire.

FAQ
MyOutDesk VAs cost up to 70% less than an equivalent in-house hire when you factor in salary, benefits, office space, and equipment. Pricing varies based on the role and responsibilities involved, so we recommend scheduling a consultation to receive a quote tailored to your firm's needs.
Our legal VAs support day-to-day firm operations including client intake screening, document formatting, case file organization, calendar updates, time entry, invoicing, accounts receivable follow-up, and client communication. They take on the administrative workload so your attorneys can dedicate more time to substantive legal work and client relationships.
We work with solo practitioners, small firms, and mid-size practices across a broad range of practice areas including personal injury, family law, immigration, real estate, corporate and business law, criminal defense, estate planning, bankruptcy, intellectual property, employment law, and general practice. Each VA is trained on your firm's specific workflows and practice area requirements.
Our VAs are trained on the platforms your firm uses. Common systems include Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, and Smokeball for practice management, along with e-filing platforms, document management tools, and legal billing software. Your firm directs the onboarding process, and we provide support throughout to ensure a smooth transition.
MyOutDesk VAs do not provide legal advice, draft legal opinions, make decisions requiring a law license, or represent clients in any capacity. All substantive legal work, case strategy, and client counsel remain the sole responsibility of your licensed attorneys and paralegals.
Every MyOutDesk VA is dedicated to your firm full-time. They work exclusively for you during their scheduled hours, learn your internal systems and processes, and operate as an integrated member of your team.
Most firms are matched with a qualified candidate within 7 days. We handle recruiting, vetting, and background checks before presenting candidates, so onboarding can begin as soon as you select your VA.
Every VA signs a comprehensive confidentiality agreement covering client data, case files, and financial records before starting work. You are welcome to require your own NDA as well. Our operations are SOC 2 aligned, and all VAs work on secured, monitored workstations. We can also coordinate equipment procurement through your IT department if your firm prefers to control the hardware directly. Your VA only accesses the systems and data you authorize.
