From there, I define the scope and deliverables up front, flag the risks that matter, and aim to get the draft right the first time instead of running up a bill on revisions. I'm direct about what's settled law, what's an assumption, and where you need local counsel. I typically work at $100/hour, with fixed fees available for well-defined projects and milestone billing on larger ones, so you know what to expect before the meter starts running. WHAT I DON'T TAKE ON I focus on transactional, research, and pre-litigation work. I generally don't take on full litigation representation, criminal defense, or contested family-law matters, though I can support those through research, drafting, and strategy for you or your local counsel. TO GET STARTED Send me a short description of the issue, the relevant jurisdiction, the documents involved, your desired outcome, and any deadline. I'll review it and come back with a clear scope and next steps.
