About Us
First Legal exists so the people who run cases never have to wonder whether something got done.
Litigation runs on deadlines, and deadlines do not care how busy your desk is. For more than 35 years, law firms, corporate legal departments, and insurance carriers have handed us the operational side of litigation: court filings and eFiling, service of process, court reporting and trial support, records retrieval, eDiscovery, document production, and licensed investigations.
Each service is delivered by a dedicated team that does that work and nothing else, and every one of them sits inside one company that answers for the result. Clients know what a job costs before they order it, and every job comes back with a record of exactly what was done, by whom, and when. When a case needs the next service, it is already inside the same company, so nobody starts a new vendor search at a deadline.
One company that answers for the work. Meet the people who do.
How we grow
We grow on purpose. New markets are chosen so we are close to where our clients are. Acquisitions are chosen for culture fit and for what they let us do for clients: more reach, more capacity, more services.
Where we are
Roughly 20 Court & Process offices, direct operations in California, New York, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and Florida, and coverage in all 50 states.
Our values, shown as behaviors
Integrity
INTEGRITY means what you order is what you get. When you book a stenographer, a stenographer shows up. When you order a sub rosa investigation, a sub rosa investigator is on it. In billing, no surprise line items, ever.
Responsiveness
RESPONSIVENESS means you reach a person, and quickly. We confirm fast and follow up without being asked. That is the standard we staff for.
Accountability
ACCOUNTABILITY means every job comes back with a record of what was done, and you always know where it stands. If something changes, you hear it from us first, with the fix already moving.
Ownership
OWNERSHIP means we carry out your instructions to the letter, think like experts when problems arise, and resolve what we can resolve instead of handing it back. Going above and beyond is the standard, not the exception.
Trust, earned slowly
TRUST is measured in decades, not contracts. Firms make us their default because we have been reliable for more than 20 years. We earn it slowly and keep it.
Client Care & Success
At First Legal, we are committed to providing you with the best-in-class customer service. We pride ourselves on our personal relationships with our clients and our fast response time.
Our dedicated Client Care & Success Department supports every First Legal division, offering you the most comprehensive litigation support in the industry.
