⢠Getting goodwill and glory for yourself without having to spend countless hours in mind numbing paperwork
⢠Paying only for the services you need when you need them

Many firms that use Paul DePetrisâ per diem attorney services donât routinely perform civil litigation or appellate work and yet want to keep clients who need that work performed âin houseâ.
