Ranz S.
Litigation Paralegal | Legal Research, Motions, Pleadings, Discovery
Need a paralegal who actually knows what they're doing, across courts, jurisdictions and time zones? You just found him. I have supported 3 law firms, 3 attorneys and dozens of self-represented litigants across US federal and state courts in California, New York, Florida, Arizona, Kansas and Missouri, and across UK civil and employment matters. I deliver work that holds up under scrutiny, every time. Research is the core of it. Primary sources only: statutes, procedural rules, regulations, agency guidance and case law read in full. Never secondary summaries, never a template someone wrote years ago. Every memo and every motion is built on authority I have verified as currently in force, with full citations and live links so you can check any point in seconds. That is what matters when a deadline is close and the filing has to hold up. WHAT I DO Litigation drafting Complaints, oppositions to motions to dismiss and demurrers, motions to compel, motions for default judgment and requests for entry of default, motions to continue, motions for new trial, discovery requests and responses, subpoenas and case chronologies. 15 federal copyright matters in N.D. Cal. and C.D. Cal., 33 Florida circuit and county matters, New York Supreme Court, Arizona Superior Court, and discovery motion practice in California Superior Courts. Daily PACER research and CM/ECF e-filing on attorney credentials. Pro se support End to end assistance for self-represented litigants, from complaint through active motion practice, procedural steps, exhibit organisation and deadline management, explained in plain language as we go. This is where I do some of my strongest work. Legal research and memoranda Structured memos with full citations, live URLs, and clear flags separating settled law from points that turn on facts a court would need to weigh. I tell you where research cannot answer a question rather than guessing. Attorney and firm support Research, motion drafting, discovery management, and docket and deadline tracking across concurrent matters. I work in Clio and I flag deadlines before they become urgent. Contracts and compliance NDAs, MSAs, employment and shareholder agreements, LLC operating agreements, IP assignments, licensing, terms and conditions, privacy and cookie policies, GDPR and CCPA documentation. Every review includes statutory cross-referencing, not surface reading. UK civil and employment Employment Tribunal preparation, County Court small claims, letters before claim under the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct, CPR-compliant witness statements and evidence bundles. I have served as Independent Appeal Officer in a UK dismissal appeal, issuing a full written decision under the ACAS Code and ERA 1996. I am not an attorney and I do not give legal advice. Send me the pleadings, the deadline and what you need drafted, and I will tell you straight away whether I can do it and how long it will take.
