    There's no doubt about it - being a lawyer is hard work. Let me make it easier and take some of the tasks off your plate. I am a recent law graduate who has passed the DC bar exam and am awaiting formal admission to the bar. I'm experienced in legal research and writing, and have a knack for condensing difficult and complex material into an understandable, digestible format! I'm here for those times when you really wish you had an extra person around to provide background research for a big case or to help whip up a memo or section of a brief. I have full access to Westlaw, LexisNexis, and Bloomberg to conduct research without costing you an extra dime. With experience on the Federal Circuit Bar Journal in law school, I know the Bluebook like the back of my hand and can quickly cite check and substantiate legal briefs or articles.
