AmLaw 100 Civil Litigator turned “Professional Law Clerk”

Discovery is half the battle.*

The other half is converting factual information into winning legal arguments. With the diminishing role of jury trials in civil litigation, success increasingly turns on who can generate the better arguments as a matter of law.

My job is to help communicate your clients’ best legal arguments with clarity and consistency at every stage of litigation from initial pleadings to final appeal.

*And I can help with that too.
