Everything Pro-Legal Does, for Law Firms of Every Size

Arlington, Virginia · Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia & Nationwide · Since 1999

Pro-Legal Services, Inc. provides litigation support services for law firms of every size — from solo practitioners with a twenty-gigabyte matter to federal agencies with multi-terabyte productions. We are a family-run boutique in Arlington, Virginia, minutes from Washington, D.C., and we have been doing this since 1999. Everything below runs through one provider, one chain of custody, and one named contact who is involved in the work rather than relaying messages about it.

eDiscovery, from collection through production

Forensic data collection and digital forensics across laptops, servers, mobile devices, and email. Cloud data collection from Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Workspace, Slack, and enterprise SaaS. ESI processing and early case assessment. Litigation hold services and preservation. eDiscovery hosting on Relativity, RelativityOne, or our in-house Questa platform. Defensible production with Bates labeling and quality control.

Document review, including AI-assisted

Managed document review staffed and supervised against your written protocol. Technology assisted review, continuous active learning, and predictive coding. AI document review, AI privilege review, and AI redaction. Privilege logs built as review proceeds. Foreign language document review and machine translation post-editing. Validation reported with recall and precision at a stated confidence level, not merely asserted.

Redaction and production support

Confidential business information redaction, burned in with text-layer verification rather than applied as an overlay. Public and confidential version preparation as a single workflow. Per-page confidentiality endorsement, redaction logs, metadata scrubbing, and production formatting to your protective order’s conventions.

Paper: scanning, copying, coding and reprographics

High-volume legal document scanning and imaging in black and white, color, and oversize. OCR conversion. Document coding and indexing, bibliographic and subjective. Litigation copying, blowback printing, Bates labeling, custom tabs, and binding. Deposition and witness binder preparation. Large-format reprographics. Federal digitization engagements have run past 800,000 pages, delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.

Trial support and exhibits

Trial presentation services, trial graphics, and courtroom presentation support. Tabbed and bookmarked hardcopy and digital exhibit sets built to the pretrial order and the exhibit list as filed. Demonstrative boards at full scale. 3D printed physical models produced from the CAD and print files your expert supplies.

Translation, apostille and cross-border

Certified legal document translation in more than 100 languages with a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Translation of evidence for litigation, with source and target paired under one Bates range. Apostille services, document authentication, embassy and consular legalization, and international service of process — handled in house, so translation and authentication happen in the order the receiving authority actually requires.

Specialist forums and urgent work

ITC Section 337 litigation support for practices before the Commission, including respondent-side discovery and hearing exhibits. Government and federal agency eDiscovery, built to agency SOPs with audit-ready reporting. Subpoena response, emergency eDiscovery, expedited and rush document review, second request and antitrust support, and internal and regulatory investigation support. We operate 24/7/365 and mobilize the same day.

How we price it

Transparent rate cards provided up front. No per-gigabyte markup, no per-seat user licenses, no minimum monthly commitments. Usage-based pricing where you pay for what you actually use. Clients moving to Pro-Legal typically reduce eDiscovery costs by 20 to 30 percent measured against their prior vendor invoices, because we do not carry the sales organization and account-management overhead larger vendors fund through their rates.

Smaller firms may want our article on eDiscovery for small law firms, which covers terms built for matters the large vendors price badly. Firms evaluating providers may prefer why a boutique eDiscovery provider charges less, and ITC practices should start with our ITC Section 337 litigation support overview.

We serve law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including Alexandria, Fairfax, Tysons, Northern Virginia, Richmond, Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, Baltimore, and Annapolis, and nationwide, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, Wilmington, and Newark, and in every U.S. jurisdiction.
