Zalessky Law Group Launches Paraprofessional Services in Family Law

In a landmark move aimed at enhancing accessibility to legal services, the Zalessky Law Group based in Denver has officially added Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LLP) services to its family law offerings. This innovative program, instituted by the Colorado Supreme Court, allows paraprofessionals to undertake a range of tasks typically executed by attorneys at a lower cost. Since the first cohort of LLPs graduated less than a year ago, Zalessky Law Group stands as a pioneer in this new legal landscape.

A Shift in Legal Representation

The LLP program is designed to address the needs of clients who might not require full legal representation but still need assistance with various legal processes. As one of fewer than 150 certified LLPs in Colorado, the firm is at the forefront of this evolution in legal representation. With the capacity to streamline operations, LLPs can effectively manage documentation, mediation, and other essential tasks more affordably than traditional attorneys.

Among the staff members qualified to represent clients is Jeanine Beyer, a seasoned paralegal who has been an integral part of the Zalessky team since its inception. With over 16 years of experience and a specialty in family law, Beyer is exceptionally well-equipped to assist clients in navigating their legal journeys. After earning her LLP certification from the Community College of Denver, Beyer is now taking on the vital role of representing family law clients across various legal channels, including court filings and mediations.

Bridging the Access Gap

Maria Zalessky, the founding partner of Zalessky Law Group, emphasized that the introduction of LLPs represents a significant step towards improving access to justice for individuals and families facing legal challenges. Many of the tasks associated with family law, such as filing documents and mediating agreements, are procedural and do not necessitate the expertise of an attorney. By allowing LLPs to manage these tasks, clients can significantly reduce their legal costs while maintaining high standards of service.

According to Zalessky, “The Licensed Legal Paraprofessional program opens up great possibilities for clients who need legal assistance but do not require litigation or an attorney. Using an LLP for these tasks reduces the overall cost for clients while maintaining the same quality of service.” This initiative aligns with the firm's core value of ensuring access to justice, paving the way for clients to obtain essential legal help without incurring prohibitive fees.

Tailored Legal Solutions

In addition to offering cost-effective representation, the flexibility of the LLP program allows for tailored solutions that address individual client needs. Should a case initially handled by an LLP become more complex or require the expertise of a licensed attorney, the Zalessky team is prepared to transition seamlessly to ensure comprehensive legal support.

Zalessky remarked, “If a case starts as an LLP matter and requires an attorney down the line, we can accommodate that. Our attorneys are always available to provide legal advice and representation as needed.” This adaptability allows clients to access a spectrum of legal services that fit their specific circumstances.

Commitment to Community

Jeanine Beyer expressed her enthusiasm and commitment to expanding access to legal support. “I have always been committed to expanding the access of families and individuals in need to legal advice and assistance,” she said. By providing lower-cost solutions through the LLP program, the Zalessky Law Group aims to support those who might otherwise be unable to afford legal services, fostering a more equitable legal environment.

For families and individuals seeking assistance, Zalessky Law Group invites those interested in exploring the benefits of utilizing an LLP in their family law matters to contact their office to schedule a consultation. The firm remains dedicated to serving the community with empathy and respect, providing invaluable support during challenging times.
