Do you use sites like Lawclerk to find contract attorneys? If so, how much are you looking to pay a competent attorney? Do you interview them? Do you review their resume? Is there another site you use to find attorneys to fill your needs? I’m a solo in Texas. I have three years of L&E & commercial litigation experience. I am trying to find work as a 1099 contractor. I enjoy doc review, drafting motions, and discovery practice.

I’ve used LawClerk for a few years. The pay depends on the task, honestly I believe the subscriptions are better for me to budget than the project work because I get 15 plus applicants for each project that I post so I think I pay too much. I interview for subscriptions but not for projects, though it’s probably a good idea to interview for both. There’s just no time really and the project work is one off, relatively straightforward like deposition summaries or demand letters. Yes, always review resumes. I used to also use Hire an Esquire because of the Clio integration but now LawClerk has this too. I recommend you try to land subscriptions on LawClerk. Good luck!
