First Legal Strengthens Presence in Texas
First Legal, a prominent litigation support partner in the legal industry, has made significant strides in enhancing its presence in Texas by acquiring Complete Legal and A-Legal. These strategic acquisitions mark a pivotal moment for the company, enabling it to expand its service offerings and deepen its commitment to providing top-tier support to legal teams across the state.
Founded in 2001 and based in Dallas, Complete Legal has established itself as a trusted litigation support provider for law firms, offering an array of services that includes court reporting, remote depositions, and eDiscovery. Recognized for its exceptional service, Complete Legal has been consistently honored as the best court reporting firm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A-Legal, on the other hand, has served the Dallas-Fort Worth legal community for over three decades, specializing in paralegal-led litigation document support, including trial preparation and electronic data discovery.
A Natural Step Forward
According to Alex Martinez, CEO of First Legal, the acquisition of these two companies is a natural progression in First Legal’s ongoing efforts to better support its clients. He states, "As we continue to expand our capabilities to serve our clients, welcoming the Complete Legal and A-Legal teams is the next logical step." Both organizations have built strong reputations in the Texas legal landscape, and their integration into First Legal will provide existing clients with enhanced access to a wider range of services.
Joe Bob Shirley, the owner of Complete Legal and A-Legal, expressed his enthusiasm about the merger, stating that joining First Legal means that his teams become part of a broader family that shares their values of client care and community engagement. He emphasized that this step not only retains the familiar faces for their clients but also opens up new avenues for service, including expanded capabilities in court filing and process serving.
A Commitment to Client-Centric Service
The acquisitions of Complete Legal and A-Legal underscore First Legal's dedication to investing in organizations that prioritize client-first approaches. This move follows a series of strategic acquisitions by First Legal, including AAA Attorney Service, Bee Reporting Agency, and eFileMadeEasy, signaling their aggressive growth strategy in the legal support market. By bringing together these complementary businesses, First Legal is poised to strengthen its position as a go-to partner for litigation support across Texas.
First Legal aims to support legal professionals not just in Texas but across the nation with comprehensive services that include court reporting, trial support, eDiscovery, and more. By combining forces with companies that have deep roots in the local community, they enhance their service quality and delivery to clients navigating the complexities of legal proceedings.
Looking Ahead
As First Legal continues to grow its footprint in Texas, the integration of Complete Legal and A-Legal will play a crucial role in shaping its future. With both companies bringing years of expertise and strong client relationships, First Legal is well-positioned to lead the market in litigation support services.
