...SAVING YOU MONEY
Giles Legal is a fully operational business and, thus, has its own office resources and online legal database access. Our attorney-clients are never required to provide us with any minimum amount of work. Additionally, by using Giles Legal, firms can avoid costly overhead expenses often associated with employees, such as staffing, office space, employee taxes, and benefits. Firms pay us on an hourly basis, only for the hours we bill. Lawyers and firms have utilized our services in a variety of circumstances, including the following:
- They need temporary help when their staff of attorneys is low.
- They need temporary help while an attorney is on maternity, paternity, or extended sick leave.
- They need extra help on an unusually large case.
- They need urgent assistance and, thus, an experienced attorney that can "hit the ground running" without requiring significant additional training.
- Their workload does not justify hiring a full-time associate, but they do need some part-time, or temporary, associate assistance.
- They are a primarily non-litigation firm, needing help with a litigation matter for a long-time client.
For further information, please contact Nancy Giles. Numerous references are available upon request.

Contract Assistance for Lawyers and Firms
Giles Legal offers contract services to fill a largely vacant niche in the legal market. Giles Legal is managed by Nancy R. Giles, an experienced Arizona litigator, who, along with support subcontractor litigators, provides temporary litigation assistance to lawyers across Arizona and throughout the country.
The hallmark of Giles Legal is its absolute insistence on quality. The firm only utilizes attorneys with superior qualifications, and every product that goes out the door is personally reviewed by Nancy Giles. Additionally, because conducting an ethical practice is of the utmost importance to us, we run careful conflicts searches and are sensitive to your existing client relationships, taking whatever steps are needed to ensure that those relationships are preserved.
Giles Legal is experienced in all areas of commercial litigation, from filing a complaint to going to trial. A few examples of projects we have completed include the following:
- Drafting research memoranda on various issues, including trademark litigation issues, choice of law issues, and the law applicable to garnishing pension funds.
- Drafting motions and pleadings, including complaints, answers, disclosure statements, discovery responses, motions to compel, Daubert motions, motions for summary judgment, and motions in limine.
- Taking and defending depositions.
- Meeting with clients when the primary attorney is unavailable.
- Negotiating and drafting settlement agreements.
- Working with and preparing experts for depositions and/or trial.
- Second-chairing (and winning) a federal bench trial regarding copyright infringement.
As this list demonstrates, Giles Legal takes on a wide range of projects, both large and small. Additionally, we bill our attorney-clients at reduced rates so that they may have the option of billing their clients at an appropriate associate rate.
