For many, getting quality legal help feels out of reach, especially when dealing with a complex justice system without enough support. Individuals, families, and law firms need a dependable, affordable, and caring partner to guide them. Intrepid Paralegal Solutions LLC is that partner, offering smart, virtual paralegal services with warmth and efficiency.
Started by people who faced the struggles of Maryland’s legal system as former litigants, Intrepid Paralegal Solutions LLC was created to make legal support better. The founders saw how tough it was for incarcerated people and their families—expensive phone calls, hard-to-find legal resources, and big challenges to getting fair treatment. This drove them to build a company that works hard for clients, helping everyone from self-represented individuals to law firms and families with loved ones in DPSCS or DOC systems.
Intrepid’s goal is to provide top-notch, budget-friendly paralegal help across the country, using technology to make tasks like preparing documents, researching laws, and managing cases easier. Their core values—honesty, clear communication, striving for the best, and finding new ways to help—shape everything they do. Their skilled team ensures clients get ethical, quick, and personalized support without needing in-person meetings. With a deep commitment to making legal help accessible and supportive, Intrepid Paralegal Solutions LLC is changing the way people navigate legal challenges.
At CIO Bulletin, we had the distinct honor of interviewing Sebastian Isaksen, COO of Intrepid Paralegal Solutions LLC. In our conversation, he shed light on how the company—anchored in the values of honesty, transparent communication, excellence, and innovative problem-solving—delivers ethical, responsive, and highly personalized legal support that truly makes a difference.
The Origin of a Purpose-Driven Firm
Intrepid Paralegal Solutions LLC was founded in 2016, born from a shared vision between Daniel D. Manoff, LIC, CM—CEO, Founder, Paralegal, Legal Investigator, and Mediator—and Sebastian Isaksen, now the company’s COO.
“I was fortunate to meet Daniel through my own journey in the system, where I saw a lack of care for those less fortunate,” Isaksen shares. Their complementary strengths—Manoff’s legal expertise and leadership, paired with Isaksen’s electrical engineering background—created a powerful synergy.
“Daniel’s understanding of legal culture and my technical skills allowed us to broaden access to justice,” he adds.
Comprehensive Legal Support for Attorneys and Pro Se Litigants
Intrepid Paralegal Solutions specializes in virtual remote paralegal services designed to support both attorneys and individual litigants.
“For someone filing for divorce or a small claims lawsuit, we draft paperwork under the client’s direction, never offering legal advice. For attorneys needing paralegal support, we provide skilled professionals,” says Isaksen.
The firm offers a wide range of services, including pro se litigation support, legal investigation, attorney assistance, and bankruptcy services for Chapters 7, 11, and 13. Additional offerings include skip tracing, divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, immigration matters (green cards, visas, work visas, and asylum), personal injury, damages, negligence, post-conviction matters, debt collection, DPSCS/DOC cases, estate law, landlord-tenant law, divorce mediation, paralegal placement, and background checks. This broad expertise ensures tailored, ethical support for all clients.

By integrating advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, alongside a strong human element, Intrepid reduces overhead while maintaining a personal touch. “Our team’s positive work culture, focused on training and growth, enhances our ability to serve clients effectively.”
