Docket Partners

Florida legal staffing

Legal talent, vetted before day one.

Docket Partners places legal assistants and paralegals with Florida law firms — rent-to-hire, direct placement, or grown from within your own team. Every placement works under attorney supervision, by design.

Hiring support staff is a risk your firm shouldn't have to carry alone.

Bar liability, confidentiality exposure, and the cost of a bad fit all sit on the firm's side of a hiring decision. Docket Partners exists to move that risk off your desk — every candidate is screened before you meet them, every placement includes a trial period before any hiring commitment, and every hour worked stays within the boundaries your supervising attorney sets.

What we offer

Three ways to build your team

Pick the level of commitment that fits where your firm is right now.

Rent-to-hire
Bring on a legal assistant on a trial basis before making any long-term commitment. If it's a fit, convert to a direct hire on your timeline. If it isn't, there's no obligation to continue.
Direct placement
Already know you need a permanent hire? We source, screen, and present candidates ready to join your firm directly, with the vetting already done.
Temporary coverage
Need help for a defined stretch — trial prep, an overflow caseload, a leave of absence — with no intention of hiring? We staff the coverage you need for exactly as long as you need it, no conversion expected.
