Services // Attorney-clients only

Civil litigation support services for Texas attorneys.

Lone Star Precision Paralegals provides specialized, attorney-directed litigation support for solo practitioners, boutique firms, and mid-size law firms across Texas and in the federal courts. Behind the practice is a fifteen-year civil litigation paralegal who has worked the full cycle that actually moves a docket: drafting and briefing, discovery drafting and responses, motions practice, trial support, and federal appellate procedure.

Every engagement runs under the supervising lawyer's direction. Services are provided solely to licensed attorneys — never to the public — and the engaging lawyer remains responsible for all legal judgment and work product. The file stays yours, on your templates and your calendar, in your name.

Four service lines cover the work a busy docket never quite reaches. The Federal & Fifth Circuit Appeals Desk handles notices of appeal, transcript coordination, record organization and indexing, brief assembly and filing, PACER administration, and e-filing in the Fifth Circuit and federal district courts nationwide — filings there have been accepted the first time, with no rejections or returns. Civil Litigation Overflow covers pleadings, discovery, motions, deposition and medical-records summaries, exhibit and trial-binder preparation, and full trial-team support, including counsel-table and courtroom-technology work in the DFW area. Specialty Dockets serve plaintiff personal injury, plaintiff employment, and business litigation — including trade secrets, non-compete and non-solicitation disputes — plus commercial contract and NDA drafting across SaaS, healthcare, purchase, service, railroad, and construction engagements. Training & Firm Operations rounds out the practice with paralegal training, docket and workflow setup, and file organization informed by seven years of law-office management.

Starting rates are $75 per hour for State-level civil litigation support and $95 per hour for Federal civil litigation support. Personalized quotes are provided during intake based on your needs, and ongoing retainer agreements are available for firms that need continuous but sporadic assistance.
