NOT hiring Expert Paralegals is tantamount to malpractice!™

Paralegal work elevated to a veritable art form.

We do not merely process documents. We impose order on complexity, anticipate what comes next, and execute the attorney’s strategy with exactitude. Our standard is the one sophisticated counsel already demands: work that is lucid, defensible, deadline-proof, and ready for the moment it matters most.

The Principals
Leadership forged in Philadelphia.
Nearly four decades of legal-industry experience inform a standard built on exacting preparation, trusted judgment, and execution worthy of the finest lawyers and law firms.
Principal
Kevin Hall
Kevin Hall has been at the forefront of the legal industry for nearly 40 years. Affectionately known as “Tall Hall” for his commanding stature, he has been the “go-to” legal scholar and pundit on all things pleadings, complaints, appellate briefs, filings, discovery, and more in the City of Philadelphia’s courtrooms and law offices for nearly forty years. Mr. Hall has worked on some of the most important cases ever in their genres, including the unprecedented extrication from a Don King promotional contract of International Boxing Hall of Fame member and Guinness Book of World Records holder as the oldest boxing champion in history, Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins. Mr. Hall has successfully advised litanies of pro se litigants and seasoned attorneys alike on matters ranging from medical malpractice to child custody to everything in between. He is a leading authority on such erudite and complex legal theories as gist of the action and fraudulent joinder, as well as complex legal areas like ERISA-related matters. His experience and expertise also extends to workers’ compensation, immigration law, and patent and trademark law.
Chief Executive Officer & Principal
Leland Hardy
Mr. Hardy is Expert Paralegals’ Chief Executive Officer. His mission is to provide the highest possible level of service to institutional and individual clients alike.
Soon after Muhammad Ali petitioned the Wharton School for him to be granted a leave of absence so that he could serve as Ali’s Official Chinese Translator and Interpreter for his famous 1985 goodwill trip to China, Mr. Hardy enjoyed a Hall of Fame–worthy career fighting first out of the Kronk Boxing Team in Detroit alongside Tommy Hearns, then out of Madison Square Garden—initially as “The Fighting Stockbroker” and later as “The Hedge Fund Heavyweight.” He spent some thirty years as one of Ali’s closest friends and advisors, until the time of Ali’s death.
Because of Ali’s influence, Hardy is the only man in history to have boxed professionally after earning an MBA from the Wharton School and a Master’s Degree in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania’s Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies MBA/MA dual-degree program, where he was its first-ever African-American Fellow and its youngest-ever Fellow. Watch “The Leland Hardy True Inside Story” from Madison Square Garden Productions (opens in a new tab).
He created his own executive-education program at Wharton, B.I.C.E.P.S.—the Business Institute for Continuing Education in Professional Sports—which has since become the Official Business Education Program of the NFL and NFLPA as taught at Harvard, Stanford, Northwestern’s Kellogg School, and Wharton. Learn more about B.I.C.E.P.S. (opens in a new tab). Early in his career, Hardy was at Bear Stearns, followed by multiple boutique investment-banking firms. Among other languages, he speaks, reads, and writes Chinese and Spanish with native fluency.
