The numbers don't lie
Burn out. Alcohol and substance abuse. Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. The legal profession is known for its fast pace and high stakes. But it comes with a cost. Does it have to be that way? Absolutely not. The only way to get off the wheel is to just do it. You are not stuck. You should wake up every day with excitement to get to work. What do you need in order to live a life that you love? 9/10 times people will say they need more hours in a day. We can't give you the 25th hour, but we can free up some of the existing ones.
about freelancing
curious about how this works?
Outsourcing legal services sounds complicated but it really isn’t. Here is what we are: an independent, contract basis legal service provider. We only provide services to licensed attorneys in good standing. The project is decided on and executed with the oversight of the contracting attorney. It is a collaborative effort where you essentially get an “of-counsel” type of assistance, without the overhead. Ultimately, we provide you the benefits you would receive from an associate or paralegal, without all of the strings attached.
Here is what we are not: a licensed attorney providing legal services, advice or the unauthorized practice of law to the public. It is important to maintain the integrity of the legal profession and we stand by the ethics rules that guard it. Although Kim Felton is a licensed attorney, these services are conducted in tandem with another licensed attorney. Any project being done must be under the supervision of a licensed attorney and signed by them. We do not sign any of the documents, we do not represent the clients. We don’t prepare pro se petitions and we don’t review pro se work. If you would like to know more about the ethics of freelance legal services, please see the resources provided.
