We can hit the ground running, so that you can devote your time to other important aspects of your practice.

Persuasive WritingWriting a persuasive brief or motion requires more than just a knowledge of the law that supports your position. Compelling briefs require strategic writing and persuasive style.

Instead, you get an experienced attorney with more than 15 years of experience, ready to work only when you need them. More Profit.The American Bar Association has issued an opinion allowing practicing attorneys to add a reasonable surcharge to the fees they pay contract attorneys. With our reasonably hourly rates, you can make a profit while receiving top notch legal work when you needed.
