I am not admitted to any state bar. I do not render state-law advice to consumer clients, and I do not represent clients in state court in any jurisdiction. For state-law matters, I work as a contract attorney under the supervision of a lawyer admitted in the relevant jurisdiction, and that supervising attorney remains responsible for the representation. Submitting a proposal or exchanging messages through Upwork does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only upon a signed written engagement agreement. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
