eDiscovery for Small Law Firms

Arlington, Virginia · Washington DC, Maryland & Nationwide

Pro-Legal Services, Inc. provides eDiscovery for small law firms and solo practitioners on terms that fit the matter rather than the vendor. No minimum monthly commitments. No per-seat user licenses. No per-gigabyte markup. Usage-based pricing where you pay for what you actually use, and a transparent rate card before you commit to anything. We take small matters at the size they come and quote them the way we quote large ones.

Small Matters Are Welcome Here

Most eDiscovery providers are built around large corporate engagements and price accordingly, which is why a twenty-gigabyte matter at a four-attorney firm gets quoted as though it were a merger review. We are a family-run boutique and take matters at the size they come. Clients moving to Pro-Legal typically reduce eDiscovery costs by 20 to 30 percent measured against their prior vendor invoices. We will also tell you when a matter does not need a review platform at all. A few thousand documents is often better handled as a straight production than as hosted review, and a vendor whose revenue depends on hosting will rarely say so.

What You Get

Forensic data collection from laptops, phones, email, Microsoft 365 and Purview, Google Workspace, Teams, and Slack. ESI processing with early case assessment to cut the population before review costs apply. Hosting on our in-house Questa platform at a lower cost than the major platforms, or on Relativity and RelativityOne where your matter calls for it. Managed document review, technology assisted review, and AI document review. Defensible production with Bates labeling and quality control. Legal document scanning and litigation copying when the file arrives on paper.

One Person Who Knows Your Matter

You get a named contact involved in the work, not an account manager relaying messages. For a small firm this is usually the difference that matters most: when something needs clarifying at six in the evening, you are speaking to someone who can answer rather than someone who will find out.

Pro-Legal also provides certified legal translation, apostille and embassy legalization, trial exhibit preparation, and confidential business information redaction, so a small firm can run an entire matter through one provider rather than coordinating four.

We support small and solo practices across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including Alexandria, Fairfax, Tysons, Northern Virginia, Richmond, Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, Baltimore, and Annapolis, and work with firms nationwide, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, Wilmington, and Newark.
