1) What does Let’s-ParaConnect do for paralegals?
Let’s‑ParaConnect connects vetted, experienced paralegals with verified attorneys seeking project‑based legal support. All work is fully remote, flexible, and secured through Stripe.
2) Do I have to pay anything to join?
No. There are no subscription fees or upfront costs for paralegals. The platform operates on a small fee taken only from completed, paid work.
3) How do payments work?
All cases are funded by the attorney before work begins. Payments are processed through Stripe as part of the platform workflow. Stripe processes all payments to you once the attorney you are working with confirms completion.
4) Can I choose which jobs to apply for?
Yes. You have full control over which matters you apply to. If an attorney invites you directly, you may accept or decline based on your availability and area of expertise.
5) Do I need to be certified?
Formal certification is not required. Admission decisions are based on demonstrated experience, scope of prior work, and alignment with the types of matters anticipated on the platform.
6) How soon can I start working?
As soon as your profile is approved, you may begin applying for work immediately. Most approvals happen within 24–48 hours.
7) Do attorneys see my resume?
Yes. Attorneys can review your résumé, listed skills, areas of specialization, and software proficiency when evaluating your profile for potential work.
8) How are job rates handled?
Rates are set by the attorney and are currently offered on a flat‑fee basis. To maintain quality and alignment with professional‑level work, the platform enforces minimum pricing thresholds.
9) Can I receive repeat work from the same attorney?
Yes. Attorneys may re‑hire paralegals they’ve previously worked with directly through the platform.
10) What if there’s a dispute?
Let’s‑ParaConnect provides a structured, neutral review process designed to support both parties. If a concern is raised, the matter is reviewed based on the agreed scope of work and completion status before payment is finalized.
