THE INSTANT ASSOCIATE YOU WISH YOU HAD!

As a contract attorney, I have assisted in dozens of cases ramping up for Settlement Conference and Trial. There are times that firms do not have the manpower to devote to summarizing discovery and prepping exhibits as litigation draws to a close. I have provided that service in an effective manner as the temporary associate that can get in there and get the job done.

I am proficient with Summation, but if there is some other Windows-driven program that you use, experience has shown that I master new software quickly. If you are not using summary software, of course I am able to use the traditional tools to make sure that the information needed for trial is presented in a cogent and organized manner. In fact, even if there is no system in place, I could help you develop one quickly in order to put your documents together for lead counsel to have his/her most relevant exhibits handy to make trial presentation go smoothly.

Like many practicing attorneys, I have often had to become an expert on a topic to be able to weed out the relevant information from the merely responsive. For example, in the Remeron case, I worked as an effective part of a discovery team even though my area of expertise had never been FDA filings and the effect of such filings on patent extension. I was quickly able to learn the salient law, and dig out documents that helped to make our case. I can provide such assistance on your case as well.

Most people do not think of document review as an exciting area of law. I enjoy the challenge of looking for that needle in the haystack, and the development of a winning trial theory. For me, it opens up like a big puzzle, with the knowledge that I’d be helping my side to make their best case. I find it is easy to be tireless as time is drawing nigh. It’s not for everyone to work under time pressure and sort through thousands of documents while keeping up a spirit of positive cooperation. It is for me.

I have contracted at an hourly rate, on a contingent basis, and with a mixed payment option. I am sure that we could find an option that works for you and your firm.

Thank you for taking the time to view my website. I look forward to assisting you in your next litigation challenge.
