Who we are read less

We're a small legal writing and research firm providing file-ready pleadings, memoranda of law and raw research to our clients for the past 12 years.

We serve sole practitioners by delivering complaints, motions, oppositions, appellate briefs, analysis, and caselaw in all of the 50 United States, with significant past demand from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Of the many thousands of projects we've completed for our over five hundred past clients, about a fifth has been in Federal Court. We accept projects from non-attorneys at a higher labor rate, subject to conditions that don't apply to our law firm clients.

Most of our work has been in the area of civil litigation, and the breadth of that statement reflects our willingness to meet your challenges head-on. We've argued many: commercial contracts and transactions, including real property matters, partnership agreements and disputes with insurers; employment law; defamation; product liability and breach of warranty claims; statutory challenges; closely held business law; divorce law; and federal/state/local regulatory issues.

Highly specialized litigations we've encountered have involved: petitions for accounting against fiduciaries, securities fraud, surviving Daubert, special proceedings for judgment enforcement, the Uniform Commercial Code, intellectual property infringement, and several disputes with banks and major financial broker-dealers.

Since you're reading this, you've decided not to go it alone. We work well as a part of a larger group effort. We can fit into a team on demand, or even assemble one for you from scratch. Whether you want to supplement with a specialist, direct the work based on your particular expertise, or have us do the niche legal research, we have the flexibility, experience, and most of all, the commitment to your goals, to make it happen.

What we do read more

If you're reading this, you're likely involved with complex claims by or against a large and well funded adversary. Our service is here to help you win the initial motions for dismissal, the later motions for summary judgment, the full range of possible motions practice in between, and any pre and post trial or settlement briefs that might be required.

If you're reading this, you're likely involved with complex claims by or against a large and well funded adversary. Our service is here to help you win the initial motions for dismissal, the later motions for summary judgment, the full range of possible motions practice in between, and any pre- and post-trial or settlement briefs that may be required. Most U.S. states have rules of procedure similar to Federal Rules 12 and 56, and generating oppositions to these motions, or bulletproofing your complaint to survive them, is what we do most often and best.

We have a minimal in-house staff and supplement our ability to serve you as necessary by a network of contract attorneys. Without exception, all work is produced by a U.S. law school graduate who is either currently admitted or was at one time admitted to practice in one of the 50 U.S. states. While we are a relatively affordable service, we take pride in our core competencies of drafting persuasive legal argument based on original research, and always strive to give you the best chance of winning your case.

If you're wondering why you've never heard of us before, it's because most of our business is from referrals, but we do occasionally advertise. Nothing makes us happier or drives our efforts more than hearing from clients who have prevailed using our drafting services and alternative trial strategies. Over the years, we've become acutely aware of the judicial bias against small firm litigants, and take your aspirations and challenges very seriously.

Because of our affordability, our clients are usually the underdog, but, they often prevail.

Our process read more

It all starts with you, with your requirements and your budget, with your standards and your timetable. There's never any pre-project charge for speaking with us or for initial document review or other communications. We only bill after you've pre-approved the project cost and given the green light, and typically only ask for payment after the work is complete.

It all starts with you, with your requirements and your budget, with your standards and your timetable. There's never any pre-project charge for speaking with us or for initial document review or other communications. We only bill after you've pre-approved the project cost and given the green light, and typically only ask for payment after the work is complete.

The quickest way to start the proposal process is to forward either a brief description of your question(s) of law and/or the documents relevant to the required memorandum. But, we always do love hearing from you in person, so please don't hesitate to call or chat with us online first, if that's what you're most comfortable with.

We price each project based on the estimated amount of effort for completion, and in most cases, we can offer a fixed cost for the delivery, or, in the case of a large, multi-stage job, an overall project cap. There's no monthly subscription requirement - we're grateful for your interest, and the marketing ploy behind such a fee should be obvious. We do, however, afford special treatment to our frequent fliers such as lower rates and expedited scheduling.

Our proposals include more than just pricing information. We'll give you a preview of the landscape of applicable legal authority, along with a preliminary plan and outline of the envisioned delivery. Your experience and expertise is at least as important to the process as ours, and our process involves fully integrating your direction into the work we do for you.

We're accessibly affordable relative to similar services that provide work by U.S. attorneys. Our labor rates vary quite a bit based on the current level of demand, our relationship with you, which one of our contributors is doing the work, and the amount of time we have to complete the project, but will tend to fall in the $80-$110/hr range. If you're a sole practitioner whom we haven't heard from in the past five years, we're currently able to extend an introductory $85/hr rate.
