Paragon has focused on the unique needs of law firms since our inception in 1999. Our officers are actively involved with the activities of the Bar Associations in the localities we serve and frequently sponsor continuing legal education and other Bar events. In addition, Paragon sponsors the local chapters of the Association of Legal Administrators, Legal Marketing Association and Paralegal Association.

Paragon has developed products and services specifically designed to improve cash flow, reduce or eliminate bank service charges and improve the efficiency of both the attorneys and paralegals at your firm.  Paragon was the first bank to partner with SoftPro to offer enhanced services to our mutual clients.  This includes trust account reconciliation services (for qualifying residential real estate practices) along with an optional fraud monitoring tool.

We have streamlined the account opening and closing process for attorneys who need quick turnaround for estate and trust accounts. We have a detailed working knowledge of trust accounts including IOLTA, escrow accounts and agency/fiduciary accounts including 1031 Exchange funds.
