Paralegal FAQ

1) What does Let’s-ParaConnect do for paralegals?

Let’s‑ParaConnect is a technology platform where approved paralegal profiles can connect with attorneys seeking project‑based support work. Attorneys and paralegals decide directly whether to work together. All work is fully remote, flexible, and payments are facilitated through Stripe Connect.

2) Do I have to pay anything to join?

No. There are no subscription fees or upfront costs for paralegals. Let's-ParaConnect charges an 18% platform fee on completed, paid work - there are no fees until you earn.

3) How do payments work?

Attorneys pay through Stripe Connect at the start of a project. Once the attorney approves final deliverables, Stripe processes your payout to your connected account. The 18% platform fee is deducted from the case amount before payout.

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?

If there’s a concern about scope or completion, both parties can submit details through the platform’s review workflow before payment release. Let’s-ParaConnect may request supporting information, such as the agreed task list and completion notes, in order to administer the platform’s workflow and payment policies.

Self-serve account deactivation is handled in Settings. It disables access and removes an account from active platform participation, but it is not full erasure. Paralegals cannot deactivate while involved in an active matter or while escrow, payout, dispute, or other financial obligations remain unresolved.
