    I am a licensed Michigan attorney with more than 40 years of legal experience now living in the Chicago area. I have been working for the last fourteen years as a legal consultant, legal researcher/drafter for a number of attorneys nationwide, as well as continuing to assist Michigan clients. I have drafted various pleadings, motions, responses, briefs, memorandums, and other court documents for attorneys in state and federal courts, including the Michigan and Florida Supreme Court and the 6th and 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. I have also assisted attorneys in the preparation for and conduct of their trials and hearings, and in preparing Bankruptcy paperwork. I am also proficient in drafting Wills and Trusts and various kinds of agreements, including operating agreements, investment agreements, employment agreements, and prenuptial agreements. I am an excellent writer, a quick study, and very versatile in the types of legal matters I can assist with. I also have very good communication skills if you need someone to interview or talk to a client. I am available to work for licensed attorneys in any state and for direct representation of clients in Michigan only. For clients in Michigan, I am available to draft contracts, wills and trusts, and legal correspondence. (I do not handle litigation for pro se clients) My rates are very reasonable for my experience (generally $45 for paralegal work throughout the country and $60.00 for attorney work in Michigan) and I am generally available on very short notice.

    A highly experienced and entrepreneurial lawyer, I work primarily with business owners and founders in connection with mergers and acquisitions, securities law and contracts. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, finished in the top 7% of my law school class, where I graduated with honors and was selected as a Managing Editor of the Law Review, worked as a law clerk for a federal judge where I drafted opinions for the judge's review and briefed the judge on applicable law, and I was trained at Ballard Spahr and Morgan Lewis, two of the largest law firms in the United States. I also acquired, built and sold dozens of businesses, exposing me to corporate and securities law from a real world, entrepreneurial perspective. I did most of the contractual, M&A, tax planning, employment law and other legal work myself for my own companies because I love practicing law. I thoroughly enjoy working with business owners and their management teams to craft efficient and creative solutions to legal challenges. That's why I returned to the full-time practice of law after building and selling a number of successful businesses. I’m now seeking creative ways to build a practice that fits into my lifestyle, and that requires primarily working remotely. Upwork is an ideal platform for me to connect with innovative business owners, corporations and law firms seeking top-notch legal work that leverages technology to meet both my objectives and and my clients' goals as well. I have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions, tax planning (I also have an LL.M. in Taxation from NYU), employment law, corporate formation and governance. I've helped many clients comply with securities law issues in connection with raising capital through private placements and crowdfunding transactions. NEED HELP WITH A BUSINESS LAW CHALLENGE? DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR: √ Letters of Intent √ Private Placement Memos √ Subscription Agreements √ Reg D Filings / Private Placements √ Regulation Crowdfunding Compliance √ Securities law compliance including Reg A+, Reg D, Reg CF, Reg S √ Operating Agreements √ Partnership Agreements √ Employment Agreements √ Independent Contractor Agreements √ NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements √ Website terms and conditions and privacy policies √ Asset purchase agreements, stock purchase agreements, mergers and acquisitions √ Copyright issues √ Trademark issues √ Employment discrimination, overtime and other employment issues √ Appellate briefs √ Motions and a supporting memorandum of law √ Any other legal issues requiring experienced, realistic and actionable advice. I look forward to hearing from you, and to the prospect of working together in the near future. Sincerely, Barry

    Hello, I'm Cedric Severino and I am Upwork’s top go-to attorney for nearly all your legal needs. California licensed since 2006. Over 1,000 Upwork jobs and counting! I am grateful for the appreciation for my dedicated, trustworthy, and, if necessary, tenacious representation of, and zealous advocacy for my clients. I've been extremely fortunate to represent my clients through Upwork's wonderful platform, and would love to add you to my list of more-than-satisfied clients. I am the most experienced, hardest working, most client focused (and dedicated) and consistently 5 Star Rated Attorney on Upwork, having worked on the platform and its predecessors for a decade. Most importantly, I've had the invaluable opportunities to consult, advise, guide, and advocate on behalf of hundreds of small businesses and individuals throughout that time. Should you choose to spend your time and money in hiring me as your attorney, I will be your dedicated advocate, trusted confidant, and dependable resource to help you through whatever legal situation you’re in with honesty and sincerity. I’ll utilize all my legal knowledge and experience, and my zealous advocacy on your or your business’ behalf to work with you to achieve whatever may be the best possible outcome to your legal issue. I exercise the same dedication whether in the adversarial process (in litigation), if you've been sued or are contemplating redressing injuries you've suffered through litigation; providing advice with compliance; with safeguarding interests to the degree they can contractually; or whatever other legal needs you may have. I am a graduate of USC Law School ("fight on!") where I was on Law Review and in the top of my class. I have been licensed in California since 2006. After working at the prestigious Los Angeles Based international law firm, O'Melveny & Myers (one of the top 20 firms in the country), and obtaining valuable trial experience as a public defender in Orange County, I established my own practice in 2008. I now offer my services to Upwork customers and clients at a fraction of big law prices while providing a superior level of commitment and quality, stemming from my integrity and reverence for the practice of law. I primarily practice in the fields of employment law, contract law, civil litigation, business law, internet law, intellectual property law, personal injury law, corporate law, family law, and criminal law. Please do not hesitate to contact me to work with you for any of your legal needs, and join my over 1,000 extremely well satisfied Upwork clients (and counting)! I look forward to working with you.

    As a Senior Professional in Human Resources, I’ve seen how my insight about therapists and about business helps business owners when they are also therapists. On and off from the time I was a teenager in the 1980s, I’ve seen therapists. For tune-ups of sorts. Now I specialize in Human Resources for mental health practices around the US. Here’s what a current mental health client-owner-founder-CEO had to say: “Adding Diane to our team has been an absolutely amazing shift for our practice! Having an HR focused set of eyes that can help our staff understand that we are a business is invaluable. Recently I observed as she terminated one of our clinicians. She handled it so professionally and effectively I was absolutely awe struck. If you don't have a dedicated HR person, and even if you do, consider adding Diane to your team.” Here's more about me… I work from experience in employee relations, payroll, benefits, work visa acquisition, compliance training, continuing education, and diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Since 2015 I have worked directly with employees and their CEOs and VPs on all matters of HR and Payroll. Let’s chat about your mental health practice and how I can… • Help therapists understand how the timeliness and content of their session notes impact your business. • Help practice owners/therapists implement inclusion after therapists of color, for example, are hired. • Show therapists how to have disciplinary conversations with direct reports without defaulting to providing therapy. • Deliver termination/firing/layoff to therapists for you. • Meet with your therapists as needed to help them implement their self-care. Thanks for having a look at my profile. I invite you to reach out to me to discuss the HR needs of your mental health business.

    I have written legal articles for websites of law firms in the US (California, Florida, New York, and Connecticut) as well as for law firms in Australia (Brisbane, Queensland, Victoria, Melbourne and Western Australia). Topics included will and probate, DUI, DWI, drunk driving, sexual assault, domestic violence, child support, divorce, employment law, bankruptcy, notarial law and immigration. I have drafted contracts, service agreements and prepared deposition summaries. I have provided litigation support by drafting requests for production of documents, requests for stipulations and admissions, and requests for taking depositions. I have even assisted a defendant pro se in the preparation of questions to ask at a discovery deposition in an FTC enforcement case. I drafted guidance for the use of members of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I assisted in the writing of guidance in contract making, supervision, and diversity. I have recently self-published a book in the Philippines. I am writing a second book that I will also self-publish. I have ghost-written three ebooks for clients on Upwork on achieving financial independence, learning all about Windows 10, and how to get over a failed relationship. I am skilled in the use of the English language: I graduated from high school in the United States; I hold a bachelor's degree in law and in European Languages from the University of the Philippines. In my undergraduate years, I interned at a local political talk show on radio. I have been a member in good standing of the Philippine bar since 1995 and I handle litigation of labor, criminal and civil cases. I write petitions, position papers, complaints, memorandums of law and arguments, legal briefs and legal opinions. I lecture weekly on church history, the Scriptures and legal issues. I maintain an English-language blog: my posts are usually commentaries on legal issues as analyzed in the light of the Scriptures. I would like to explore other areas of legal practice and expand to other areas of legal writing on-line.

    My name is Steffan Alexander Lazerow and I am a seasoned attorney and serial entrepreneur with a passion for helping my clients build, grow, and protect their businesses. I have started and run my own businesses and passion projects in a variety of different areas, along with having practiced in a number of business law spaces for more than half a decade. Being an entrepreneur first means that you will be working with someone who is like-minded, who thinks like a CEO, and who does not come with the typical baggage of a high-priced law firm. I consider myself an excellent educator and communicator; I am able to break down complex subjects and clearly explain them to anyone. I am outside counsel for 25+ businesses or entrepreneurs in fields such as tech, e-commerce, content creation, music, health, and wellness. I was a 2016 graduate of Loyola University of Chicago School of Law. I was among a small group of professionals selected to be featured at UpWork’s 2023 Work Without Limits Executive Summit.
