Our Story
Precedent Legal Services, Inc, is setting the new standard for litigation support services. Founded by two San Diego legal professionals who noticed the broad and unreasonable gap between quality and price being presented by the few litigation support companies out there. We wanted to change the way litigation support companies operate, and so Precedent Legal Services brings the focus back to quality and reliable work at reasonable rates, allowing law firms the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job will be done on time, and on budget.
Our team is led by David Macauley, Chief Executive Officer. In David’s more than 10 years’ experience in the legal industry, he noticed that frequently legal firms and agencies, paid a tremendous amount of money to litigation support companies and received mediocre results in return. David saw a way to do things more efficiently and bridge that gap between cost and quality.

Our Chief Financial Officer, Elizabeth Macauley, brings with her many years of public service from procurement for the Department of the Navy to working for an agency that helps support U.S. Veterans. Her financial expertise has allowed us to streamline our services and minimize your costs.
