Through detail-driven work and superior service, Legacy delivers the careful and comprehensive paralegal support attorneys need and should be able to expect for their clients.  At Legacy, quality and reliability aren’t afterthoughts—they are the foundation of every client relationship and how we approach every task, every time.

Legacy was founded on the belief that attorneys deserve reliable, detail-focused support that strengthens their practice rather than slowing it down.  Our work is grounded in a commitment to earning trust through quality and dependability.  Legacy becomes a true extension of your team that is invested in your cases, your clients, and your success.

Legacy’s experienced paralegal has nearly two decades of experience in legal departments at both the federal and state levels and as a freelance paralegal and case manager working with dozens of trusts and estates firms and Surrogate’s Courts in New York and New Jersey, which enables her to work seamlessly with attorneys, courts, and their systems.

You don’t have to do everything alone. You just need the right support. Offload tasks to an experienced paralegal with Legacy.
