group presentations

I present to groups of any size on many topics related to improving writing and streamlining the writing and quality-control process.  If you have a topic in mind for your group, I'm happy to collaborate with you to develop content and materials. 

freelance legal services

As a contract lawyer, I specialize in complex research and writing for other lawyers.  I enjoy working collaboratively and am happy to assist other lawyers with writing projects.  I also work well independently and can draft appellate briefs, substantive trial court motions, client presentations, and the like. 

coaching

I work one-on-one with professionals to improve their work product and simplify their writing process.  Together with the client (and employer, if applicable), I identify goals.  Then I develop a targeted set of steps toward those goals.  "Learning by doing" is always part of this process, including real-life examples whenever possible.

design your own project

• Do you wish your office had an efficient quality control process? I can help you design it.

• Does your office need an in-house style book? I can write it.

• Do you rarely do appeals and have a brief due? I can review it for conformance with court rules and style conventions.

• Are you applying for a job? I can help you draft a persuasive cover letter and spruce up that writing sample.

• If it involves writing or editing, I can probably help!

collaborative writing and editing

Having a second set of eyes can do wonders for your work product. I can help you evaluate if your writing communicates the message you intend. And I can edit your writing to ensure that it communicates your message in a clear, direct, reader-friendly way.

rush projects

When things come down to the wire, you might wish you had another set of hands and eyes.  I welcome rush jobs.  If you have a rush job, please call me, and I'll tell you right away whether I can do it and how long it will take me.
