Paralegal - Legal Help
Worldwide
Need paralegal/legal assistant to help file an Answer in an active civil lawsuit — urgent, deadline September 4 I'm the defendant in a civil case involving an old business dispute where I was a signer with the bank. I need to file a formal Answer to the complaint before the deadline. I have the case details and a step-by-step outline of what needs to happen — I just need someone to help execute it: filling out the Answer form correctly, filing through the Utah state e-filing system, and making sure every procedural step is handled correctly and on time. Looking for a paralegal or legal assistant with real experience filing civil answers/pleadings — not a licensed attorney, and not general admin/paperwork work. This is not a quick task; estimating 5-10 hours to properly prepare and file. Deadline is firm: September 4, 2026. Message me and I'll share the case documents and the steps I already have outlined. Please answer these before applying: Have you filed an Answer or other pleading in Utah's e-filing system (or a similar state e-filing portal) before? Which case type, and how recently? Given the September 4 deadline, what's your actual availability this week and next to hit 5-10 hours of focused work — specific days/hours, not just "I'm available"? Have you worked on a statute-of-limitations defense before, or reviewed a civil complaint to identify procedural deadlines and defenses?
