What does PF Consulting Firm provide under Legal Research Support?

Base research scope is one narrow legal issue. PF locates and summarizes authority as directed, flags contrary authority, and delivers a citation-checked research product in your preferred format. The ordering attorney decides how the authority is used and confirms it remains good law before filing.

Who is this service for?

Licensed attorneys and law firms who direct the assignment. PF accepts legal research work from firms in Florida, California, Georgia, New York, New Jersey and Nevada, and federal matters in those districts. PF does not accept this work directly from the public.

What does the service cost?

Flat fees in this category run $697 to $2,997, priced per assignment and confirmed in writing before work starts. Items outside the ordered scope are quoted separately rather than absorbed.

Individual orders include one factual revision within the original scope. Monthly law firm support plans include up to five revisions per case within the original scope; further revisions or scope changes are quoted.
