Dear Florida Paralegal: The Florida Alliance of Paralegal Associations conducted the first Florida Paralegal Salary Survey to provide needed salary and employment-related information to paralegals in the state of Florida. We believe the results may be used in many applications as the questions pertain to not just strictly salary information, but also benefits, education levels, training, billable rates, and other relevant data. We had a total of 636 respondents who participated in the survey, 100 of which provided partial responses. Thank you to all that participated in this year’s Florida Paralegal Salary Survey. We invite you to participate again next year. Sincerely, The Florida Alliance of Paralegal Associations www.FAPAinc.org
