Arizona's Family Law Legal Paraprofessional Rule: A Win-Win for Law Firms and Clients

In 2020, Arizona became the first state to allow family law legal paraprofessionals to practice law. Under the new rule, family law legal paraprofessionals can provide certain legal services, such as drafting legal documents, providing legal advice, and representing clients in court under the supervision of a licensed attorney. Here's why this is a win-win for law firms and clients:

1. Cost-effective: Family law legal paraprofessionals can provide cost-effective legal services to clients, which can be especially beneficial for those who cannot afford the high costs of traditional legal services. This can help law firms expand their client base and provide legal services to a wider range of clients.
2. Increased access to justice: The family law legal paraprofessional rule can increase access to justice for underserved communities, including low-income individuals, immigrants, and rural populations. By providing cost-effective legal services, family law legal paraprofessionals can help these communities navigate the legal system and protect their legal rights.
3. Support for law firms: Family law legal paraprofessionals can provide valuable services to law firms by handling simple legal cases and freeing up attorneys to focus on more complex legal matter. This can help law firms increase efficiency and productivity, which can lead to greater profitability and growth.
4. Supervision by licensed attorneys: Under the new rule, family law legal paraprofessionals are not required to work under the supervision of a licensed attorney. At Modern Law, we do. This ensures that clients receive high-quality legal services and that family law legal paraprofessionals have access to the expertise and guidance of licensed attorneys.
