Bryan H.

Experienced IP & Litigation Paralegal

Bachelor’s degree and 37 years of experience as a paralegal, contract administrator, and docket clerk, including the first 18 years in family law and litigation, and the last 19 years in a intellectual properties / litigation hybrid career. Noteworthy experience in litigation, family law, appeals, patents and trademarks; well-developed research and legal writing skills; strong organizational and communications skills, with ability to prioritize multiple assignments. In my very first case, I got an innocent man out of prison. I did this with no experience, no training, no help and no supervision. All I knew at the time was how to use a computer, and how to write a perfect college term paper. I taught myself legal research, copied the format from old appellate briefs, and simply wrote two college term papers (with this new format and these new research skills) as the appellate briefs. The lawyer, Gary Morris, signed the first draft both times. (People v. Karmenzind -- see portfolio.)
