When CEO David Nill, first started in the attorney service business a few decades ago, his main focus was on the physical pick-up of legal documents for physical filing to the courts and for service of process. However, even back then, he realized that technology would ultimately play a pivotal role in transforming the industry. Rapid Legal’s transformation to an online attorney service began in 2004. Today, Rapid Legal is one of the nation’s leading online attorney service provider delivering legal documents with unrivaled speed and accuracy. Our software and services help law firms increase their efficiency and productivity while reducing risk and costs.

Rapid Legal Leadership
We understand the industry and your business
David S. Nill \\ Founder and CEO
Three decades later, David still fervently believes, “Good is never good enough.” Guided by his company’s mission “to propel the legal industry forward through web-based technology,” David is determined to transform the legal landscape. Whether he’s collecting feedback from customers, tweaking Rapid Legal’s portal to streamline the ordering process or driving legislative change for the benefit of courts, law firms, and litigants; one thing’s for sure, you’ll always find David thinking of ways to harness the power of technology to simplify the lives of legal professionals.
Bill Davidheiser \\ Executive Vice President, Engineering and CTO
His business card might state C-level, but Bill equally prefers to be toiling away writing code. As one of the principal architects of Rapid Legal’s web applications (and everything else technology-related), Bill finds the greatest satisfaction in improving their speed, stability and functionality to meet evolving legal needs and technological developments. One can often find Bill whiteboarding ideas with his team of engineers, programming thousands of lines of code, or training on the elliptical with his phone in hand so as not to miss a minute of productivity.
Jeff Ellis \\ Executive Vice President, Sales and Business Development
As a veteran business development executive, Jeff is well-known for combining his zest for people and problem solving to execute strategies that accelerate revenue growth and capture new markets. He spends most of his time formulating ways Rapid Legal’s technology solutions can deliver value to the legal industry by enabling courts, law firms and service providers to move legal documents with speed and accuracy. In his spare time, you’ll find him reading the latest tech news or a good book, exploring ideas to seize new market opportunities, strumming his guitar, or catching a Buckeyes game.
John Vernagus \\ VP Marketing and Communications
Bringing marketing and public relations experience from a mix of tech-forward service businesses, John helps Rapid Legal ensure its products are positioned to be the “go-to” for law firms, legal departments, and legal support providers. His expertise in customer relationship-building programs marries well with his responsibility for a brand that has long stood for solutions known to be easy, fast, and done right. John comes to work every day with a focus on helping the company connect with clients, earn their next order, and continually exceed expectations. And while he enjoys working round the clock on behalf of Rapid Legal’s effort to propel the industry forward, his personal passions do occasionally put him on the ski slopes, at sporting venues, or pursuing a global travel adventure.
Henry Negrete \\ Vice President, Finance and Operations
“Coach ‘em up and turn ‘em loose” is how Henry prefers to help the Rapid Legal teams achieve their goals and objectives. Whether it’s creating and developing new teams or coaching existing teams, his focus is to provide each team member with the knowledge, confidence and tools necessary to deliver Rapid Legal’s services to clients with the speed and accuracy they expect. Understanding that “good is never good enough”, Henry leverages Rapid Legal’s people, processes and systems to help the teams execute to an ever-increasing standard of excellence; continually improving service delivery and customer satisfaction.
Larry Swain \\ Vice President of Product Integrations
As someone who loves wearing many hats, Larry enjoys the challenge of overseeing product management and service fulfillment at Rapid Legal. While he’s equally comfortable charting a new product direction, working with customers or writing detailed requirements, he’s most interested in helping others be successful. “I believe that when you trust and empower people they will amaze you.” Indeed, creative solutions that help people use technology to improve a business are the things Larry loves working on.
