Georgia Legal Research Services for Attorneys
The National Legal Research Group was founded in 1969 to provide quality research and writing services to law firms of all shapes and sizes. More than 50 years, 50,000 clients and 185,000 research projects later, we still have the same goal.
We have served over 1100 attorneys in Georgia on over 2900 cases. We list some of these attorneys below, along with what they have said about our services.
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 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 the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals. Here is a broader discussion of the types of products we prepare.
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. Some work at our headquarters building just west of Charlottesville, Virginia; others work remotely. We list below our attorneys who most regularly work on Georgia cases. You can also view full biographies of our entire attorney staff. 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 use AI only as one among many research tools.
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.
