About Me

I'm Michelle Douglass, and I'm excited to offer my legal expertise to support plaintiff's lawyers in Florida. With over 30 years of experience in employment and civil rights law, I provide specialized legal support designed to enhance your practice. My services include legal research, document drafting, and strategic case development, all tailored to meet the unique demands of contingency cases.

My Journey

My transition from a litigator in New Jersey to providing legal support services in Florida is deeply personal. As a Certified Civil Trial Attorney—a distinction held by less than 2% of lawyers in New Jersey—I bring a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success. In 2010, when our daughter arrived unexpectedly, my husband and I postponed our plan to move to Florida. As she grew, it became clear that Florida's vibrant outdoor lifestyle was ideal for her development. In 2019, we made our dream of living in the Sunshine State a reality. However, I chose not to pursue the Florida Bar, focusing instead on leveraging my skills to support local legal professionals.

Why I Support Plaintiff's Lawyers

Having worked on a contingency fee basis myself, I understand the financial challenges faced by plaintiff's lawyers. I was fortunate to have partners and a supportive husband with steady income, but I recognize that not everyone has these resources. That's why I'm passionate about offering my services in a way that supports lawyers in the employment and civil rights field who get paid on a contingency basis. I believe that individuals and employees in Florida deserve competent legal representation. They should not continually be the underdog due to financial constraints. It takes a winning team and those who are 100% dedicated to their cases to achieve justice, and I am committed to being part of that team.

My Approach

At ProLegalEase, I offer flexible legal support as an independent contractor, not as a law firm or staffing agency. Whether you need assistance on an hourly, project-based, or subscription basis, I provide remote legal support tailored to your needs. My flexible payment options, including nominal retainers and deferred payments, ensure that you can access my services without financial strain. All work is performed under the supervision of a licensed Florida attorney within your firm, ensuring compliance with legal standards.
