What is the Salary for a Legal Assistant?

Answer:
There are many variables that affect the salary of a legal assistant

or paralegal. Paralegal salaries depend on experience, training, education, location, and type of employer, among other things. Like many professions, legal assistants who work in metropolitan areas tend to earn more than legal assistants in more rural areas.

The median annual income of a legal assistant is just under $40,000, including bonuses. The median income of a legal assistant working for the federal government is closer to $60,000. Salaries of legal assistants fluctuate somewhat with the economic health of the country as well.
