Strong legal work depends on accurate research, precise drafting, thoughtful review, and properly organized case files. I provide reliable support to law firms, businesses, and individuals who need professional work delivered accurately and within their required timeframe.
I’m Marie Perez, an experienced legal professional assisting with motion drafting, contract analysis, discovery review, case preparation, and legal research. My approach is organized, detail-focused, and centered on producing documents that are clear, practical, and easy to review.
My work includes examining court records and agreements, identifying inconsistencies and potential risks, preparing memoranda, arranging evidence and exhibits chronologically, and creating case timelines. I also review Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, commercial contracts, and platform agreements, offering practical recommendations and clearly presented revisions.
When handling AI-assisted materials, I independently verify the authorities, citations, facts, and conclusions rather than relying on generated content without proper review. Each assignment is handled with close attention to accuracy, confidentiality, applicable requirements, and deadlines.
I work independently, communicate clearly, and provide focused updates throughout every project. If you need reliable assistance with litigation, a contract, or an unorganized case file, send me the relevant documents and deadline so I can review the scope and determine the most effective way to assist.

One overlooked clause, weak NDA, or compliance gap can expose your business to disputes, regulatory penalties, and IP loss. You don't just need documents prepared — you need a legal strategist who understands how to align legal protection with real business objectives.

My contract law experience has focused on drafting and reviewing B2B and independent contractor agreements, non-disclosure agreements, service agreements, and non-compete agreements. I am adept at drafting and reviewing these documents for essential terms and compliance with state and federal law.
Currently I have a number of long-term agreements with other solo-practitioners in California. I support these attorneys with their family law caseload. I have supported in divorce, child custody, alimony, temporary support, domestic violence, and restraining order cases. I am adept at completing the required forms and drafting necessary motions for these cases. I am available for additional long-term partnerships!
My background is in criminal defense, I have 4+ years of litigation experience in criminal court as a law clerk and a Deputy Public Defender in Arkansas and California.

In addition to my juris doctorate, I also hold my Masters in Public Administration. I previously worked as a Development Manager for a non-profit organization where I was tasked with managing fundraising and marketing. In this role, I also had an employment law focus as I reviewed and drafted employee polices for this organization to ensure compliance with California and federal law.
I would love to work with you on your next project, whether short or long term. I can provide document review, legal research and writing, motion drafting, legal opinion letters, and much more.
Thank you for considering me for your next project!
