Today, a client asked me if I mind doing tasks that are not paralegal in nature. I told her "No!" I enjoy and have years of experience providing both administrative and paralegal support.
I was reminded of a post I made to a VA networking group when asked how I would classify my services. I said I was a parasecressistant. (Para-secre-ssistant=someone who can do whatever a solo attorney might need to help run his/her practice more efficiently.)
So, whether you decide to work with a virtual assistant or an on-site assistant, make sure the person with whom you are working is able to provide you with a broad range of services. There are lots of us who don't mind some word processing, bookkeeping, marketing support and clerical work along with our document drafting and legal research!
