OUR PHILOSOPHY

THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING, and the paralegal profession is still among the fastest growing in America. Over the next five years, paralegal employment is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations. We believe the close working relationships among attorneys and paralegals, the rising prestige of the profession, the increase in salaries and paralegals’ growing responsibilities have created a need for more and better-educated professionals.
