Best business decision this year
I couldn't be more thrilled with my Wishup VA. It took me a few weeks to get the time to organize the work to assign initially, but it's been the best business decision for me this year.
Top 0.1% VAs, vetted through 6 rounds, who take admin and ops off your plate.
Eliminate every non-billable task that consumes your day
Our virtual paralegals use Westlaw, LexisNexis, Fastcase, and Casetext to pull case law, shepardize citations, and prepare research memos. Whether it's a federal circuit split, state-specific statutory interpretation, or an administrative regulatory issue, your VA delivers structured, attorney-ready briefs, not raw search results.
From opening matters in Clio or MyCase to maintaining digital case files, organizing discovery documents, and tracking statute-of-limitations deadlines in your court calendar, your VA keeps your docket clean and nothing falls through the cracks. Includes Bates numbering, exhibit organization, and deposition scheduling.
First impressions convert prospects. Your virtual legal assistant manages initial intake calls, completes conflict-of-interest checks, sends engagement letters, and keeps clients informed via email and Lawmatics or Intaker, all under attorney supervision. Never lose a lead to a voicemail again.

I appreciate the value a Wishup VA can bring to a business. The VAs of Wishup are very understanding and well trained in multiple skillsets, making them indispensable.
A virtual legal assistant handles administrative and research tasks for attorneys and law firms: client intake, case file management, legal research, court calendar management, billing and time entry, and document drafting.
Wishup legal VAs cost significantly less than a full-time paralegal (average $58,000–$72,000/year in the U.S., plus benefits, office space, and training). Wishup plans start at US $1299/month with no overhead costs.
Yes. Wishup's legal bookkeeping VAs are specifically trained on IOLTA trust account management, three-way reconciliation, retainer disbursements, and state bar reporting requirements.
We support personal injury, family law, immigration, corporate/M&A, real estate, criminal defense, estate planning & probate, employment law, IP, and more. We match you with a VA who has specific experience in your practice area, not a generalist.
Your VA can prepare, format, and organize court filings per local court rules, manage ECF/PACER accounts, and coordinate filing logistics. The actual submission must be authorized by a licensed attorney or authorized filer per your jurisdiction's rules, your VA handles everything up to that point.
Absolutely. You can hire a legal bookkeeper as a standalone service. Our bookkeeping VAs specialize in QuickBooks for law firms, LawPay reconciliation, IOLTA compliance, and monthly reporting, independent of any VA admin services.
