Lucas C.
Litigation, Legal Research & Drafting Consultant | Former Attorney
I am a legal research, drafting, and litigation consultant with more than five years of experience working as an attorney and judicial law clerk in civil and criminal litigation. My primary areas of experience include civil and business litigation, personal injury, appellate writing, criminal law, and other complex litigation matters. I earned my J.D. from the William S. Boyd School of Law, graduating cum laude in the top 12% of my class. I was also inducted into the Scribes Association for Excellence in Legal Writing. While at Boyd, I served as a Nevada Law Editor for the Nevada Law Journal and completed a White Paper addressing the legal implications surrounding the Las Vegas Loop project involving The Boring Company. My practical experience includes drafting motions, oppositions, replies, complaints, answers, discovery requests and responses, appellate briefs, mediation memoranda, demand letters, and other litigation documents in both state and federal matters. I previously worked in civil litigation with De Castroverde Law Group and Raich Law and served as a judicial law clerk for the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas, where I assisted the Court with complex civil matters, including multi-party personal injury and eminent-domain litigation. I also have experience in criminal litigation, including courtroom advocacy, motion practice, case analysis, and appellate matters. My broader litigation experience allows me to approach research and drafting assignments from the perspective of someone who has worked on matters from both the attorney and judicial sides. I am available to assist attorneys, law firms, businesses, and individuals with legal research, brief and motion drafting, discovery, document review, case analysis, demand letters, appellate projects, and other litigation-support assignments. I take particular pride in producing organized, persuasive, citation-supported work that can be incorporated efficiently into a client's matter. Important Disclaimer: I provide legal research, drafting, consulting, and litigation-support services. I do not provide legal representation through Upwork, enter appearances as counsel, or perform services requiring an active license to practice law. Nothing in my Upwork services should be construed as establishing an attorney-client relationship or as legal representation in any jurisdiction.
