I provide DMCA and Copyright Protection Services. If your content is being used without your permission, I can take that pirated content down under DMCA. Online content creators such as Digital course creators, writers, bloggers, photographers, E-com sellers and companies, who own any intellectual content or copyright products, can benefit from my services. My process of working to end piracy/ copyright infringement is thorough. 1) I have vast experience in reporting infringing Shopify & WooCommerce, Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Alibaba, Aliexpress, Lazada, Walmart listings or product pages. 2) On retainer basis, I start by searching and short-listing all the websites with your content, that has been pirated, using all the web search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL, Yandex, and many others). 3) I de-index (remove) all those websites from the above-mentioned search engines (in this way your audience won’t reach the infringing website in the first place. 4) I report directly to the infringing site and the hosting provider of the infringing website by sending a DMCA notice. 5) I also takedown content over social media platforms, video-sharing websites, and clouds like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Dailymotion, VK, OK, Youku, 4shared, Vimeo, Google-drive, blogspot, telegram etc. Why choose me?

I am an attorney licensed to practice in Nevada and Arizona. My primary areas of practice include civil personal injury/business litigation, appellate writing, criminal law, immigration, and I have handled various other projects in the civil arena. I received my education from the William S. Boyd School of Law and graduated in the top 12% of my class, receiving Cum Laude distinction. I was also initiated into the Scribes Association for Excellence in Legal Writing. While at Boyd, I completed a White Paper as a Nevada Law Editor through the Nevada Law Journal on the legal implications surrounding the Las Vegas Loop project involving Elon Musk's The Boring Company. My practical experience includes over five years of legal drafting as an attorney and law clerk for civil and criminal litigation. My civil litigation experience includes working for De Castroverde Law Group and Raich Law. I drafted civil briefs for personal injury and business litigation claims in federal and state courts, including responses to discovery, filing and answering complaints, mediation memoranda, and drafting dispositive motions. In addition, I also worked as a law clerk for the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada, helping my judge brief complex civil matters such as multi-party personal injury and land-taking claims. For the past year, I have also practiced criminal law with experience in courtroom advocacy and drafting Appellate briefs for the Nevada Supreme Court. My experience would be an asset to any firm or individual needing legal drafting or research assistance. Should you have any further questions, please reach message me. I look forward to working with you! Disclaimer: Any service I provide outside of Nevada and Arizona is not intended to serve as any legal advice and should not be considered the work of an attorney in any outside jurisdiction. Instead, work that I provide should be seen as that of a paralegal or law clerk who uses their legal education to facilitate legal drafting and research for attorneys and pro se individuals that they may review for their own filings and continued study.

I have vast experience drafting myriad business-related documents, pleadings, memoranda of law, cease and desist letters, demand letters, and opinion letters. My business-related documents include service agreements; partnership agreements; independent contractor agreements; LLC operating agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and employment agreements with specific emphasis on restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicitation, non-inducement). On average projects that include these types of agreements take 2 hours to complete. On Upwork I focus on providing paralegal services to individuals, lawyers, and businesses, even though I am a Pennsylvania licensed attorney. I often research law that spans the country with concentration on Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York. I earned my J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2000. I hold a B.A. in Philosophy from Reed College that I obtained in 1996. Please note, as of 11/2024, my posted hourly rate is only for the first five hours of work performed in 2020 and only for the specific Upwork-based project.

I have over three years of full-time experience supporting US-based attorneys in preparing mainly family-based and employment-based immigrant and non-immigrant petitions/applications - including, but not limited to: H1-B, L-1A, TN, R1, O-1, EB-2, EB-2 NIW, immediate relative petitions, and a range of other applications (such as naturalization). Additionally, my experience as a remote worker and participation in process improvements at past clients' firms has deepened my knowledge and interest in automation, legal technology, and specifically: the technical and social process of their implementation. Because of this, I enjoy setting up and working with softwares such as: MyCase, Cerenade, Docketwise, Pipefile, Asana, Clio, Notion, Acuity Scheduling, Calendly, MS Office, Google Workspace, iWork, Adobe Acrobat, and other similar tools. I can serve as a sole immigration paralegal service provider or extension of an in-house team to assist with any upcoming deadline or complex matter (RFEs, Motions to reopen, and similar). Feel free to send me a message! **PLEASE NOTE** I am not authorized to practice law in the United States or provide legal advice. In addition, I do not offer immigration paralegal services to the general public. My work is performed only under the direct supervision and guidance of licensed immigration attorneys. If you are require assistance with an immigration matter, all I can do is refer you to qualified attorneys who can provide you with the necessary legal support.

How to Hire Top Legal Researchers

How to hire legal researchers

From drafting contracts to pursuing litigation, it’s important to be thorough when researching anything that comes related to the law. Legal researchers can help you answer legal questions and back your cases and content with facts and precedents.

So how do you hire legal researchers? What follows are some tips for finding top legal researchers on Upwork.

How to shortlist legal research professionals

As you’re browsing available legal research consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

Industry fit. You want a legal researcher who is familiar with the legal nuances of your industry.
Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., experience researching case precedents for employment law).
Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular legal researcher.

How to write an effective legal research job post

With a clear picture of your ideal legal researcher in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective legal research job post should include:

Scope of work: From identifying case-relevant statutes to researching local regulations, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or practices of law, mention this here.
Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

LEGAL RESEARCHERS FAQ

What is legal research?

From primary sources such as statutes, regulations, and case law to secondary sources such as legal digests, treatises, and journals, legal researchers can find the information you need to back a case or fact-check content.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in legal research consultants:

Legal research and writing
Paralegal services
Industry-specific legal expertise (e.g., corporate law, litigation, real-estate law)

Why hire legal researchers?

The trick to finding top legal researchers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to find a researcher to collect opinions, parallel citations, and precedents to help you prep for a case? Or are you creating content for a finance blog providing tax tips for traders? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a legal researcher?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

An experienced legal researcher may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their legal research more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
