I don't do timid. I excel in David-versus-Goliath fights, and when you're up against a government agency, a corporation, or a well-funded opponent, I'm the right person for a big battle. I'm aggressive, and I'll embrace unconventional strategies to reach your goals. I'm a litigation specialist with 15+ years of experience across many jurisdictions and states. I work efficiently, professionally, and economically, so you get high-quality research and drafting for far less than typical legal fees. Recent research and drafting work includes: - Consumer car-fraud matter (2026): Phase 1 document review and case memo analyzing odometer, title, contract and arbitration issues; a demand letter / Notice of Dispute package; and a draft federal complaint with filing notes — document review, issue-spotting and drafting for a self-represented client - Arizona civil trial preparation: motions in limine, a detailed response to a joint pretrial statement (stipulations, exhibit objections and witness issues), and review of discovery, deposition and financial-transfer exhibits - Arizona justice-court filing work: review of a civil summons / filing packet for form and court defects in a Mayer Justice Court matter, with corrected filing-packet drafting - Illinois federal and post-conviction-related drafting: a revised federal complaint, a petition for writ of mandamus to compel docketing of a habeas petition, habeas-related drafting, and in forma pauperis (IFP) application drafting support - Illinois divorce / family law (DuPage County): drafting and case support in a dissolution matter, including temporary maintenance filings, financial affidavit and settlement materials, motions to compel mediation and for continuance, and temporary restraining order petition/response drafting - Organizing large email and case files into indexed folders, and preparing redacted, submission-ready document packages Results I've supported through research and drafting: - Civil rights suits against government officials for constitutional violations, including holding a municipality liable for unconstitutional policies - Overturned risk protection orders in Florida - Successful outcomes in Illinois family court - A successful petition to the Illinois Supreme Court - Negotiated settlements with favorable outcomes for the client - Litigation hold notices to preserve evidence and seek severe sanctions for its destruction - Police misconduct matters, including lost body-cam footage - Administrative law, contract review, and non-compete review - Complete multi-motion packages What I do: complaints, petitions, motions, responses, post-conviction filings, legal research memos, discovery requests, demand letters, and organized, indexed case files. Who I help: self-represented litigants, families, and attorneys and firms that need dependable drafting support. Many of my clients have worked with me for years. I'm a legal assistant, not an attorney. I do not give legal advice, I do not represent anyone in court, and I do not file or appear on anyone's behalf. I provide research, drafting and case-organization support for clients and, where required, for review by licensed counsel. While I have paralegal education and training, I cannot officially call myself a paralegal because I am not working under the direct supervision of an attorney but I will consult with attorneys when the situation requires it.
