The National Legal Research Group founded the legal research industry in 1969 with the goal of providing high quality legal research, writing, and analysis to licensed attorneys in all forms of practice.
NLRG offers a broad range of work products, both objective and advocacy. Our objective products can help you evaluate a case or give you sources to cite in a work product of your own. Our advocacy products include pleadings, motions, trial briefs, and appellate briefs.
Many of our clients are solo practitioners and small firms. We take great pride in allowing these clients access to the same legal research firepower enjoyed by larger firms, at an affordable price. We cannot work for non-attorneys.
We have over 25 research attorneys, many working at our headquarters building just west of Charlottesville, Virginia. Since 1969, NLRG has served more than 55,000 attorneys nationwide on over 180,000 research projects. Our research and writing is done by real humans not by AI.
Since 1969, the National Legal Research Group has been providing legal research and writing services to attorneys all across the country. We have prepared over 180,000 products for over 55,000 clients in all US states and many US territories and tribal courts. We employ over 25 research attorneys from top US law schools. Many of our attorneys have worked for NLRG for years. Some had extensive practice experience before joining us; others are authors of law review articles and even treatises. Our budget estimate system gives you complete control over costs. Most of our clients find that our work is equal to or better than their own, for a price that is materially less than what they would charge their clients for the same work.
To provide attorneys with more flexible options, our legal research is billed by the hour, on an as-needed basis. We will also give you an hourly estimate in advance, and will not go over this hourly estimate without your permission. Rush work is available with an additional surcharge, should you need your legal research expedited. We have a wide range of service options for legal research that can fit any firm size or budget size. Even if you are on a strict budget for your case, we can find a solution that can help you.

Our team of attorneys have a wealth of knowledge and experience working on a wide range of cases, including United States Supreme Court, Federal Court of Appeals, and cases in every state in the U.S. In addition to the extensive legal research work they have completed at NLRG, many of our attorneys spent years in private practice prior to joining The National Legal Research Group, and publish frequently in their area of expertise. This allows us to match our attorney-clients to the research attorney that has experience most relevant to their case.
Who is doing your legal research has a large impact on the results and quality of work. NLRG takes a unique approach to legal research and writing services by assigning our attorney-clients to one of our attorneys that is specialized in the area of law pertaining to the case. This additional level of expertise specific to your unique case is a service that many legal research firms simply cannot match. You can even request to work directly with an attorney of your choice, if you prefer to work with the same attorney for ongoing research.
