Your Legal Team Is Too Valuable to Be Buried in Administrative Work
As your firm grows, so does everything happening behind the scenes. More clients mean more calls, emails, appointments, documents, billing, follow-ups, and details that someone needs to manage.
Without the right support, attorneys and other billable team members end up doing work that doesn’t require their expertise. Or it all lands on you. That’s when growth starts creating more chaos instead of more opportunity.
A fractional legal assistant gives your firm experienced administrative support before you’re ready — or need — to add another full-time employee.
When Support Makes Sense
You may be ready when intake, billing, follow-ups, or scheduling are consuming attorney time, your team is at capacity, or your workload is growing faster than your administrative support.
What Is a Fractional Legal Assistant?
A fractional legal assistant is an experienced legal administrative professional who works with your law firm remotely on a flexible, part-time basis.
Unlike a general virtual assistant, a legal assistant understands the environment, terminology, systems, confidentiality, deadlines, and client expectations of a law firm.
EVA’s fractional legal assistants integrate directly into your firm’s existing workflows and provide consistent support for the hours your practice actually needs.
You get an experienced member of your support team without having to recruit, hire, train, and carry the overhead of another traditional full-time employee.
What Can a Fractional Legal Assistant Do for Your Firm?
Every law firm operates differently, so we match support to the needs of your practice. Your EVA legal assistant may help with:
Client Intake & Communication
Respond to prospective client inquiries, schedule consultations, send intake forms, coordinate follow-ups, and help make sure prospective and existing clients receive timely communication.
Calendar & Scheduling Management
Coordinate client meetings, attorney calendars, appointments, depositions, hearings, consultations, and other scheduling needs.
Inbox & Correspondence Management
Organize email, flag priority messages, manage routine correspondence, draft communications, and help keep important requests from getting buried.
Document & File Management
Format documents, organize electronic files, maintain matter information, prepare correspondence, and keep your firm’s records organized.
Billing & Administrative Support
Assist with time-entry follow-up, invoices, billing processes, expense tracking, CRM updates, and other administrative tasks that keep the business side of your practice moving.
Practice Management Support
Work inside the systems and processes your firm already uses to help maintain matters, contacts, tasks, documents, and workflows.
Day-to-Day Law Firm Operations
Handle the recurring administrative details that consume attorney and staff time so your legal team can stay focused on higher-value work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fractional Legal Assistant Services
What is a virtual legal assistant?
A virtual legal assistant is a legal administrative professional who supports attorneys and law firms remotely. They may assist with client intake, scheduling, email and file management, billing support, document preparation, and other law firm administrative responsibilities.
At EVA, we use the term fractional legal assistant because our professionals are more than general virtual assistants — they’re experienced legal support professionals working as an extension of your firm.
What’s the difference between a legal assistant and a paralegal?
A legal assistant typically focuses on the administrative and operational work required to keep a law firm running efficiently. A paralegal generally provides more substantive legal support under attorney supervision, such as legal research, drafting, discovery, and case preparation.
If you’re not sure which role your firm needs, EVA can help you determine the right level of support.
Are EVA’s legal assistants based in the United States?
Yes. EVA specializes in experienced, U.S.-based legal support professionals who work remotely with law firms.
Do you work with solo attorneys and small law firms?
Yes. EVA works with solo attorneys and small law firms that need additional legal capacity without immediately adding another full-time employee.
How many hours can a fractional legal assistant work?
The appropriate level of support depends on your firm’s workload and needs. We’ll discuss what you’re currently handling, what you want to delegate, and the amount of ongoing support that makes sense for your practice.
