A virtual legal team. Two ways to deliver it.
Virtual legal assistants give your firm headcount-quality work without the recruiting, payroll, training, and turnover. We deliver it through Staffline or Frontline — depending on whether you need a dedicated staff member or 24/7 live intake coverage.
A virtual legal assistant is a team member — without the hiring overhead.
A VLA does the work an in-house hire would do: answer calls, run intake, manage cases, draft pleadings, chase records, work down liens, keep your CRM clean. The difference is what surrounds the work.
We hire, train, manage, replace, and scale the team. You get the output without the operational burden of being an employer.
What you don't deal with
- Recruiting, screening, hiring, onboarding
- Payroll, taxes, benefits, PTO management
- Turnover, retraining, performance management
- Office space, equipment, IT, security
Pick the delivery model that fits your firm
Both products deliver virtual legal assistant work. The difference is whether you need an on-demand operation or a dedicated team member.

Best fit
- You're drowning in records, liens, pleadings, or admin

Common questions
What's the difference between a VLA and an in-house hire?
A virtual legal assistant gives you the same work output as an in-house team member — without the recruiting, payroll, benefits, training, turnover, or office space. We hire, train, and manage the team. You get the work product.
Can a VLA actually integrate with my case management system?
Yes. Staffline assistants work inside your existing case management system (Filevine, Litify, Clio, MyCase, SmartAdvocate, etc.) just like an internal employee. Frontline also writes back to your CMS so every action is logged.
Do I get the same person every day?
With Staffline, yes — you get a dedicated team member who knows your firm. With Frontline, you get a trained team operating under shared QA and your firm's specific scripts and criteria, with consistent coverage 24/7.
Which one should I start with?
If your biggest pain is mid-case — records sitting, demands stalled, attorneys buried in admin — start with Staffline. If your biggest pain is at the front of the funnel — missed calls, slow follow-up, leads going cold — start with Frontline. Most firms eventually pair both: Frontline signs the case, Staffline carries it.
How fast can we get started?
Staffline depends on the role — most placements are live within 30–45 days, including onboarding on your templates and systems. Frontline typically launches within 2–4 weeks of contract signing.
