Who We Are
NLRG was founded in 1969 with the goal of providing quality research, writing and analysis to law firms of all sizes all across the country. More than 50 years, 48,000 clients and 185,000 research projects later, we still have the same goal.
We have served over 3257 attorneys in Florida. We list some of these attorneys below, along with what they have said about our services.
What We Do
NLRG does research and writing for you, so that you can focus your attention on other areas of your practice—or your life.
We offer 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 most common advocacy product is a motion brief or trial brief. Earlier in the case, we can draft complaints, answers, and motions, including discovery motions. We also draft signature-ready appellate briefs to all six DCAs and to the Florida Supreme Court.
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. We specialize by area of law, and many of our attorneys have years of experience working in their areas. All of our research projects are done by human attorneys; we do not use AI to draft products for clients.
Billing Rates and Turnaround Times
Our normal turnaround time is 2-3 weeks, but we can sometimes do quick email or telephone reports in as little as 1-2 days, though at a higher billing rate. Here is a full list of our billing rates.

Testimonials
[NLRG] makes my small firm roar like a lion. The quality of the work is excellent, the cost is reasonable, and the turn-around time is flexible. FLR gives us access to top legal minds at a fraction of the cost of hiring and training an associate.
Larry Perry, Perry & Young, Panama City, FL
I was certainly impressed by the legal memorandum prepared in this matter. The legal writing was simple, concise, and to the point so that even the presiding judge may actually understand the issues and give the defense a fair shot to win the case or at least to enter a stay as suggested in the memorandum. The memorandum clearly distinguishes the cases cited by the prosecution, permitting me to aggressively argue the case to the court.
Joel D. Robrish, Miami, FL
The brief was excellent and the turn-around time and overall service was outstanding.
Lewis Kapner, West Palm Beach, FL
