Knoxville Paralegal Services

Knoxville Paralegal Services gives solo attorneys and small law firms a direct path to experienced paralegal support without adding headcount or payroll overhead. Founded in 2018 by Brooke M. Govert, the firm operates as a virtual, on-demand outsourcing service out of Knoxville, Tennessee. Attorneys get access to full-cycle back office paralegal work across multiple practice areas while retaining complete control of their client relationships and billing. For firms that need consistent knowledge process outsourcing support but cannot absorb the cost of a full-time hire, this model fills that gap directly. The service list covers the full range of what a litigation or transactional paralegal handles day to day. On the civil litigation side, the team manages everything from initial investigation (criminal background checks, social media searches, public records pulls) through pleadings preparation, discovery production, pre-trial motions, trial technology setup, and post-trial deadlines. Criminal defense support includes warrant requests, Rule 16 motions, judicial diversion applications, expungement filings, and jail visits. For bankruptcy matters, the team drafts Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Subchapter V documents using BestCase Software, with a standard turnaround of 48 to 72 hours. Family law work covers contested and agreed divorce filings, permanent parenting plans, child custody documents, adoption, debt division, and orders of protection. Estate planning documents are drafted through WealthCounsel and include last wills, revocable and irrevocable living trusts, healthcare powers of attorney, living wills, and asset protection trusts, with notarization available on site. The firm's clients are attorneys, specifically solo practitioners and small firms that need reliable support but cannot justify adding a full-time staff member. The math is straightforward: a full-time in-house paralegal costs approximately $84,600 per year once taxes and benefits are factored in. Engaging this virtual service at 10 hours per week runs closer to $28,600 annually, a savings of roughly $56,000 per year. There are no overhead requirements, no employee taxes to manage, and no need to provide benefits, parking, or training. Attorneys use the service as needed, whether for ongoing back office work or discrete one-time projects. Brooke brings more than 15 years of paralegal experience to every engagement, with a specialization in criminal defense and litigation. A dedicated family law paralegal is also on staff. The firm operates entirely through an online office structure and functions as a contractor rather than an employee, keeping the working arrangement simple and flexible. Attorneys handling bankruptcy matters will need their own BestCase software license and ECF/PACER account to use that service. Attorneys looking to reduce administrative workload or take on more cases without adding headcount are welcome to reach out and discuss what ongoing or project-based outsourcing support would look like for their practice.
